TAMPA — Missouri GOP delegates are rejecting the heavy-handed push by Mitt Romney and national Republicans to boot Todd Akin from their state’s Senate race, revealing a split among Republicans that could imperil the party’s effort to take back the chamber in the fall campaign.
In interviews with POLITICO, delegates argued that Akin could still win the race in the conservative state, pushing back against the notion that his remarks on rape were a death blow to his Senate candidacy. Several delegates here in Tampa seemed angry at the national party, saying the decision to withhold millions of dollars in campaign funding is the real impediment in their effort to oust Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in November.

Conservatives are already trying to explain all this away. “No state is going to ban abortion in the case of rape even if Roe v. Wade is overruled — and even if Akin were elected to the Senate. Everyone knows this,” the National Review staff wrote in its call for Akin to step down. Really? Thanks to a purge of moderates in the last primary under the guidance of Gov. Sam Brownback and the Koch brothers, Kansas, for one, would be poised to do just that. Several states have already passed absolute bans on abortion after 20 weeks, well before viability, without exceptions for rape and incest, and the stated intent is to keep moving that line closer and closer to fertilization. Even if voters rejected “personhood” amendments in Colorado and Mississippi, that hasn’t stopped the movement from trying again and again, down to spreading falsehoods that common forms of birth control are tantamount to abortion.

What is congressman Todd Akin afraid of? Tuesday 75-100 of his constituants marched to his office to speak with him and let their concerns be known when he did not accept an invitation to meet with them at a town hall gathering. Others had been turned away from his office.
Who are these fearsome constituants? Retired teachers, clergy, moms with babies, union members, small business owners, citizens concerned about womens reproductive services, those needing jobs, people concerned about Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, students, young and old, black and white, men and women. WHy did congressman Akin turn these constituants down? They were largely liberal Democrats. Is he afraid of liberal Democrats because they care about the union worker, education, the poor, those trying to expand equal rights, the unemployed, the small business owner, the gay, the elderly, the sick?
Mr Akin ordered five county police cars to "control the marchers". The citizens were ordered to stand well away from his office in the sun in 100 degree heat. They were "trespassing".
The crowd was orderly, respectful, well behaved, and practicing Democracy.
Where were you congressman Akin and who do you represent? What are you afraid of?

what is afraid of? perhaps he does not really wish to go on the record answering questions on his positions like say medicare or social security? perhaps he makes time for teabaggers and not the public?
for a lad that wishes to run for senate, such is odd unless one has something to hide
