http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/2012/08/todd-akin-is-not-dropping-out-who-is-to.html I hope Akin wins, but he really has to take the responsibility for his decision to stay in given the circumstances. I will support conservatives but I only have so much money and it is not going to Akin.

waaah, good man, good family!

alright Morally Therapeutic Conservatism spokesman Mike Huckabee.

David…the duress you speak of must occur over months. Like how female world class marathoners, long-distance swimmers or triatheletes in training will halt ovulation, that kind of stress will halt ovulation. (It is called dysmenorrhea, BTW) Rape, whether legal or statutory, is not going to cause it.

A rape victim may end up with interrupted menses due to the trauma of the event, but that is after the fact. Saying a woman can’t get pregnant when she is violently raped is about as ignorant as saying a woman can’t get pregnant during menstruation.

BTW, as for women getting pregnant during rape, google the phrase “genetic legacy of Genghis Khan”.

“pray that your husband’s stupidity … have not also guaranteed us another four years of Obama.”

And here I thought only Leftist Liberal Loonies were so irrational as to draw such ridiculous conclusions.

If Akin’s idiocy could possibly ruin Romney/Ryan’s chances to win the White House, then their chances were already poor.

It seems to me that all of this chicken-hearted willingness to throw Akin under Obama’s bus demonstrates that Republicans are too gutless to win elections.

But then, I’ve suspected for some time now that Republicans – especially Establicans – would rather remain the Minority Party anyway; it’s so much easier to complain from the sidelines than to actually, y’know, solve the Nation’s problems or anything.…

He didn’t make a mistake. He spoke near and utter gibberish about some non-technical belief. He apparently assumes it is truly biological or physiological fact. The word ‘legitimate’ has almost no bearing. The rest of it is the worst possible nonsense a person could speak and ultimately delivers a huge blow to any of those who are pushing in the pro-life direction.

To act as if it were a minor mistake is to be complicit. He is proving his arrogance and self-importance by resisting. It is clear he sees himself as an entitled elected class person. He has, after all, been in politics for decades. Does he REALLY imagine this will be ovecome shortly and his campaign will be on track? Does he think by holding out he will get the national party and all of the PACs, not to mention all of the public figures, Romney included, that have called for his exit to simply reverse their words and support him? That is delusional. He has decided to go it perfectly alone. He is entitled, it seems to me.

Challeron, I love you!

Akin made his own bed. I hope he wins she loses. But if you want to contribute that is up to you.

http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/2012/08/if-you-hate-obamacare-then-gop-really.html We can win back the Senate. Dig deep!

“Personal ambitions” is a little harsh – he gave up a safe House seat, won the nomination fair and square even if the no-runoff system is stupid, so if he quits he is unemployed and so are all of his staff, and also the campaign staff. Everybody’s out of work who has worked for him. Tough decision to take in three days.

I think every single non-leftist person could have been silent and McCaskill as well as the national Democrat party would have used his words against him just as much. They are an invaluable gift. It isn’t a matter of the misuse of one word, or of simply making a misstatement. Except to those who perhaps believe a woman’s body can block pregnancy under certain conditions, or whatever gibberish he uttered. At least there are some (many?) sane non-leftists on the record, calling him out for the kook he appears to be. For the next months I predict Akin will not be able to get through a single public appearance without directly being asked what he really meant/thinks or without some reference to his words – like a replay of the gibberish clip by local MO media after a clip of his stump speech.

Today is the first time – I’m 55 – I’ve heard the word dysmenorrhea.

I am not fit to hold office. As a Republican.

Signed, member of one of the fifty seven states.

PS: RSM, you couldn’t be more wrong about this. They’re handing you rope and you’re throwing it over the transom for them.

In other words, the likely ends justify the establishment right’s immediate means.

You’re a walking testament to the folly of that right adopting the left’s narrative.

Speaking of gibberish. I don’t know what you just said. You rebutted nothing nor offered any new perspective. Do you agree with Akin? Do you think his statement about resisting pregnancy is an example of a poor choice of words or taken out of context?

What I can’t get over is seeing and hearing prominent Republicans washing their dirty linen in public. Perhaps there’s a death wish of sorts in operation.

It would have been far better to handle this quietly, with all requests to Akin done privately. As it is, the man’s pride was assaulted, almost forcing him to stand up for himself, and tons of ammunition were handed to the Dems to be used not merely against Akin but against every other pro-life Republican, starting with Paul Ryan.

I can understand Romney getting nervous and spouting off, but I cannot understand old pros, of whom Carl Rove is the foremost example, shooting from the hip in this fashion. Had Republicans avoided public pronouncements and counseled Akin in private he might have withdrawn voluntarily. Certainly the fuss would have blown over by the time the next big news story came along. As it is, the Akin gaffe will resonate for weeks.

And all for a relatively minor matter. It’s not as if he thought Guam would make like a new Atlantis and slide into the ocean, nor as if he believed a 0.01 percent increase in the CO2 level would broil all life on Earth, nor as if he thought a nation could spend itself rich. It’s not as if this one gaffe was the equal of those made weekly by Joe Biden or Obama.

We still need Akin (or some Republican) in the Senate, so now is the time for all good Repubs and conservatives to just SHUT UP about the matter, other than to belittle Dem attempts to blow it out of proportion. Our job is to defeat the Dems not cry over spilt milk.

On what planet would Stacy McCain be considered “easily herded?”

WTF are you doing supporting McCaskill?

Do you want to see Obamacare repealed or not?
MO will have only 2 names on the ballot in Nov with any chance of winning: Akin and McCaskill. If you aren’t supporting Akin, you are supporting McCaskill.

Pull your head out of your bottom and wake up.

There’s a reason Republicans deserve the moniker “stupid party” and you, Mr McCain are it.

Just think how the D’s would have handled this and understand that their brand of ruthlessness got them to 60 votes in the Senate despite the fact that easily 40 of them should NEVER have been elected to anything in their lives.

Every D in the country would have either A) Circled the wagons and protected their guy until this blew over or B) STFU.

A grand total of 2 R’s in the whole country needed to distance themselves from Akin: Romney and Ryan. That’s it.

Instead, you’re helping make it impossible for the one guy in the whole country that can take McCaskill’s seat to do so.

Brilliant!!

If Todd Akin is right then all those German and Polish women who got pregnant after the Russians left are lying. If Todd’s right then all the half white black kids all over South during the Jim Crow era were actually the products of loving relationships…If Todd Akin is right well I could go on and on.

Uh, no, don’t blame his critics. That’s absurd.

Akin, it’s time to go.

Well, after all, he’s appealing to Obama’s supporters now, and all indications are they’re in love with Akin now.

I have heard that it was not so “fair and square”, that his opponents were more popular among Republicans and that Dems crossed over in the open primary (since McCaskill was going to win easily) precisely because they thought Akin would be easier to beat. I don’t know MO politics, is there any truth to this?
