Todd Akin is a steadfast man of conviction, lawfully elected by the good voters of Missouri to represent them in Congress and to be on the ballot for the office of Senate this fall. That a sinister cabal of coastal GOP elites is trying to force this honest man off the ballot and nullify the voice of the people in the process, is sickening and shameful. Congressman Akin loves this country, because it is the only place on God's Earth where a man can freely express his opinion, but apparently the arrogant backstabbers at the NRC and NRSC don't feel the same way.
Not sure how serious this post is, but I agree.
Akin was voted in by REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS. As far as I'm concerned they should just reap what they sow instead of pulling some cowardly move like pull his funding. And, my personal opinion about cowards aside, I don't see how this is a real wise move (short term or long term) for the GOP. All I see happening out of this is that the Tea Party's criticisms of the "ebil establishment" is vindicated. Akin's stupid comments may've lost the part a lean GOP seat, but the Senate leadership's actions could cause a civil war.
For once Romney is probably being the more wiser out of all parties by not doing anything. The only thing he can do safely is say that it was an epically dumb comment and that Akins should apologize. Supporting Akins position would probably lead to people suggesting Romney drop out of the Election. Supporting the establishment and trying to coerce Akins to drop out of the race will lead to tea partiers and other activist conservatives to bitterness and maybe even sit out in November.
This isn't a good situation for any party to be in.
Added in: yes, I know this post might be ridiculous to a lot of people on here and wouldn't be surprised if it is in the Deluge. However, given the nature of the Republican Party as it is, and the fact that I haven't seen Democrats abandon any of their politicians as quickly as the GOP has in this instance I stand by my observations.
