Priebus: RNC won't support Akin in Senate race

[Coyotl]

Source: cnn.com = 9 minutes ago = by CNN Political Unit

"We're not going to send any money toward that race or spend money on the ground in that particular race. We're obviously going to work very hard for a nominee in Missouri up and down the ticket, congressional seats. But I've already called off the phone banks and all of the volunteers for Congressman Akin's race there," Priebus said

Watch the video clip. He calls Akin's words "crazy talk"

NewsPulse has Akin story at the very top by a mile

Just in time for the convention!!!!

1. This is SO entertaining!!

[maxsolomon]

2. Why is THIS the line in the sand for the RNC?

They have no problem with this position inside the party - exceptions for rape are not in the platform.

Is it that they just don't want it said publically? Are there that many independent flibberdigibbets left that they need to worry?

[RainDog]

3. Why is Rinsed Penis trying to pretend this misogyny is not central to the Republican Party?

Because it is.

[wordpix]

19. THAT is obvious +1000

[atreides1]

6. Because the Democrats can connect Akin to Ryan

Connecting the two would only shine a light on what the Republicans have done with their platform decision...and with Akin remaining in the race, Rmoney and Ayn Ryan are now going to be lumped with Akin and his "Legitimate Rape" comment until the election.

[solara]

4. Hypocrite

[SoapBox]

5. I feel a Flipp'n-Flopp'n, Etch-a-Sketch moment comeing on...

I was Against Akin, before I was For Akin.

The Baggers will make Rinse Penis change his tune.

I thought that this post, made on another site was interesting...Guess America REALLY needs to get to know Mr. Rape:

"I'm from the district that Akin has served as a Representative, so I've known about him for a while. I'm just glad the real Akin showed up before the election so people understand exactly what they are voting for. He is also anti-education (his wife home schooled their five children) and probably a creationist. Now you understand why McCaskill was running ads to try to get Akin as her opponent!"

[Bonhomme Richard]

7. "Besides, why bother. We can count on the morons who voted for him the first time to....

vote for him again. This is Missouri"

[Crow73]

8. Why?

He is running on the GOP platform...

[Renew Deal]

9. To Priebus it's not "crazy thoughts", just "crazy talk"

The problem is he said what many of them think

[yardwork]

10. Why not? Akin's position is the same as the RNC platform!

No difference whatsoever between what Akin said and what the Republican National Committee has established as their platform, and no difference between what Akin said and the legislature that Ryan supported. None.

[unhinged1]

11. Leave Todd Akin alone!

I don't understand why we are staring a gift horse in the face...leave him alone until the final 6 week deadline, then tie him to Ryan and pound them both relentlessly (legitimately of course)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. Rinse Penus is full of shit. All they have to do is direct

some of that Cock/Adelson money to flood through state while washing their hands.

[davidpdx]

25. I thought their names were "Crouch"

It goes so much better with a chairmen who is a penis. Joined at the pelvis........

[SunSeeker]

13. PACs will support Akin, and he knows it.

PAC donors are secret so there is no risk. They'll just pick a no-name PAC and run ads for the shit-stain. Akin knows that now that he has made it clear he's going nowhere, they have no choice. It's either help him or let Claire take it in a walk.

[rockingirl]

15. That's exactly

what I think too. Money will be shuffled by donation or whatever means to new name PACs from existing others like Rove's or similar and away they go again!

[bulloney]

14. Dr. Frankenstein's experiment has gone out of control.

Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh and other prominent Republican leaders created this culture that empowered the lunatics. It worked fine until now, when these lunatics are holding positions of power and are spewing their ridiculous extremist views on the world.

You reap what you sow.

[coalition_unwilling]

24. Please don't compare that shitstain Akin (or the Tea Party) to the noble monster created

by Dr. Frankenstein. Akin isn't fit to shine Dr. Frankenstein's monster's boots, imho.

Myself, I prefer the myth of Pandora's Box.

[bayareaboy]

16. Well Mr. Chairman of the Grand Old Perverts party.

Perhaps you all should have done something besides baying to the moon with tales about Joe Biden, De Pres and medicare lately.

That seemed to be how other folks do that task.

[firenewt]

17. The RNC better be careful. They risk TP fury if they lean too hard on Akin. I love it!

[Bort336]

18. The VagHags are revolting

Here's a Missouri VagHag that is fighting with her VagVamp masters.

When priebus, the head of the Vaginal Vampire organization called the rnc, speaks, you're supposed to swoon and concede all your actions and inhibitions to his every whim.

sharon barnes, a Missouri GOP Committeewoman, believes that a child produced through rape is a blessing - maybe she should spend a little time in Uganda or a state prison complex to gain a little insight from some of the vicious war and criminal rapists she seems so ready to bequeath as fathers on some poor traumatized and victimized woman.

20. Bulls---. Wait until October and money for Akin will be flowing like water into Missouri.

[bucolic_frolic]

21. What's with Reince? Akin = Ryan so what's his beef?

Akin has said nothing that doesn't jive with everything
Akin and Ryan said together about this.

It's in the party platform.

You can't hide from it.

[maddezmom]

22. they are trying as hard as they can

but it's not working, imo. The GOP's platform is out there already.

[Coyotl]

23. Exactly, their platform is set in stone and has been for years and years

and, if anything, they are moving to the right and becoming all the more extreme in the face of contravening public opinion. This is one of those rare opportunities when people, especially young people who have not paid much attention, become aware of their stance and extremism and their views of the Republicans also become set in stone.

[davidpdx]

26. Well let's hope Akin stays in the race

Unless he gets money from somewhere he's going to be burnt toast.

[customerserviceguy]

27. I've had a few second thoughts about Akin staying in the race

in the last day, especially last night, as the deadline passed. I really figured that he'd be a good little Rethug and take the hint to drop out, but with that asshat, it's all about him. I even turned on Hannity's radio show on the way home from work to hear him justify why he was staying in, and Hannity was asking him a couple of tough questions. He's an egomaniacal asshole.

That said, how does his staying in the race affect other Congressional races? Before this, the RNC was set to dump large amounts of money into MO, and I would imagine that a lot of the Republicon super-PAC's are going to stay away, as well.

What happens to their money? I don't think it just goes back into their wallets. I fear that it will be used to support Rethugs in races that are close. Will money that would have normally ignored McCaskill find its way to her from our side because of the outrage over Akin?

Will we save McCaskill just to lose two or three other Senate races that we could have won? If it's a Republicon sweep on the level of 1980 or 1994, we may see Akin in there, anyway.

[Coyotl]

29. Money, money, money, where did it come from? Missing billions in Iraq?

How is the GOP funding all the secret spending? Well, where did all that missing cash in Iraq go?

[wordpix]

30. Bush tax cuts give the corpos execs billion$ extra to use against Dems

Missing Iraq cash is only one possibility

[Coyotl]

32. Missing Iraq cash is one possibility that has not been mentioned enough

Just like the millions that Marcos funneled to Reagan for the planes to ferry out his treasury

[Sherman A1]

28. We will see what they do in a week or so

One suspects that this will be changed in one form or another. Akin may still drop out or after a few polls they may change their minds on funding.

[lonestarnot]

31. He's gona rinse his penis instead. Whatever.
