(This is a repost from last week. I will repost every Monday until the Nov election - it is an important issue!)
The whole Todd Akin thing will blow over. I know the MSM will try to keep it alive by focusing on one misstatement. But let's not forget the big picture: THAT DOES NOT NEGATE CLAIRE MCCASKILL'S RECORD!!
We need at least 51 votes and control to repeal Obamacare. Every race counts - not just the Presidential aspect. Claire McCaskill is a staunch Obama supporter and a champion of Obamacare. She's a staunch supporter of abortion. This is, by far, more harmful to everyone in this country than a misstatement by Todd Akin, for which he profusely apologized. He's continuing on for the good of the country because of his conservative stance, principals, and morals. No one has called for Obama to step out of the race for saying "You didn't built that!" No one has called for Biden to step aside for his NUMEROUS guffaws. Nor Pelosi or Reid or Schultz. This is a DIVERSION yet again, albeit one created by our own side, even if unintentional. Mike Huckabee has stated the same thing:
In an appearance on Your World, Huckabee stressed that Akin’s comments were stupid and that he’s apologized for them, but said, “The real issue is not what he said, it’s what Claire McCaskill did. She voted for Obamacare. She has supported abortion. It’s about what Barack Obama did, not something he said, and believe me he’s said plenty of crazy things himself.”
Huckabee addressed calls from other Republicans for Akin to withdraw from the race, saying, “You’ve got to remember that he’s put two years of his life, and that of his family, and his supporters in this race to get there. You don’t just suddenly one day say one thing and say, ‘I’m going to quit!’”
I was torn at first about the Akin debacle and thought he should step down. I think I was scared that ANY mistake will be picked up by the MSM and debated ad nauseum - which it has. But I agree with Huckabee and others: the real issue isn't a couple of misplaced words. It's the RECORDS of these two individuals. It's the direction we want our country to go in. It's the representatives we want to best take us in that direction.
For you Missourians - it really is up to you. The rest of the nation can't help you. For more info on the real Claire McCaskill, I recommend going to and sharing this site: The Truth About Claire. You can tweet it, share it on Facebook and/or email, or even call Claire's office. Lots of info and the bare facts.
The nation needs to adopt Missouri's nickname: The Show Me state. Show Me why I should vote for you. Show Me your record so I can see if it lines up with my personal beliefs and principals. Show Me that you are someone that can be trusted with my future. We can ask these questions of the presidential nominees and our individual states. But the Claire McCaskill/Todd Akin debate can only be settled by Missouri voters. Don't let the MSM lull you into a voting stupor, Missourians. Resist the kool-aid.
