Todd Akin, Christinne O'Donnell, the guy in CO, the list goes on and on. Why do we Republicans shoot ourselves repeatedly?

Not so fast. Granted he may be stupid, but that doesn't separate him from many others in the Senate.And he's a world better than his opponent. So Cornyn, hold your nose and cough up a few bucks to elect a Republican.

Yeah, well I think Cornyn's going to feel pretty stupid if Akin wins. I know I intend to vote for Akin and would never even consider voting for his opponent. I cannot imagine anyone who's thinking of voting for Romney that might change their mind because of Akin's statement. Most Republicans are a little more fair-minded than that and won't base their vote on a single issue anyway. Further, if the "undecided voter" was the type to vote based on single-issues, they would have already made their minds up one way or the other - or so it seems to me.

I think he is worthy of support. He made a mistake, as have many candates.

Then get your lazy a**in there and MAKE it happen. The dems would!

Not a MO voter any more, but even if he had two heads, why would a conservative vote for Ms. Claire?

Oh, and I forgot to add that I haven't supported any Republican organization this year because I believe they are all owned by the 'country-club' set. I want conservatives!

Cornyn seems to be frightened by the media uproar should the NRSC 'change' their mind. Heard some of the liberal pundits (Andrea Mitchell) going on and on about how this would be unheard of.....blah, blah, blah.

Let us hope and pray that the 'folks' will not pay attention and vote that dreadful woman OUT!

Uh... according to the person posting the article here... McCaskill is "an equally stupid Democrat opponents."

Ergo: Why vote FOR McCaskill if she is just as stupid?

Sorry...but I know how McCaskill has voted. She is one of the biggest supporters of Obamacare. Those of us in Missouri voted against this ... 71% voted NO.

We in Missouri have a choice. We can only vote for one person. The person posting the article only cares about the "Republican brand."

If we lose this election..nationwide...then the "Republican brand" has far bigger fish to fry to try to stay alive.

I think Akin is unelectable, but Cornyn represents everything that is wrong with the RNC.

John Cornyn is a swine.

Fort Worth, Texas

This is exactly the reason people don't support the senatorial committee with their $$$$$$. Cornyn is an embarrassment to the party. I quit giving when they didn't spend $$$ on Allen the last time he ran. Go away Cornyn you are a total disappointment. Guess Cornyn loves Reid & McKaskil more than Akin. What a joke. Cornyn has been around Rove tooooooo long.

Tough! So it isn't the race Cornyn wants.

Well, it is the race for the MO Senate seat whether he likes it or not.

The GOP elites should at least shut up. Akin will be on the ballot. Mr. Perfect didn't run.

And you think these gutless senators will do the right think if they take over the majority?

Let's face it Cornyn only wants rinos in the senate. O'Donnell, the lady against Reid, now Akin. Since the rino senatorial committee won't fund him I hope all the conservative repubs will donate their $$$$.

Why do these clowns make boneheaded public statements like this? What purpose does it serve?

I received a call today from the RNC. I told them I am sending contributions directly to candidates I want to win.
The caller told me "we had a common goal".
I told him that was BS.
NO money was going to Bachmann, no money is going to Akin, not sure Alan West is getting money from the RNC.
Akin has a good conservative record, he made a blunder, but he is NOT an ass.
Stupid ass Cornyn would rather have McCaskill?? Give me a break!

Did I ever say vote for McAskill? No. If Akin wins he must be replaced at the next election because he is damaged goods. And don't give him any select committee assignments where he will bring embarrassment and bad sound bites to the Republicans. Akin didn't make a ''blunder.'' Akin IS a blunder.

Oh please a blunder is better than a McKaskil.

That's quite a stand you have taken No. 7, Reminds me of a sign I saw in a mom and pop restaurant: "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

Jim DeMint seems to have a different opinion. Let a pubbie make a single stuipd or outrageous comment at the media is howling. Let uncle Joe loose and, "well, that's just Biden off his meds".

God, deliver us from this.

I trust DeMint over Cornyn. DeMint cares about the country, Cornyn cares about his job.

I live in Missouri and I have a Todd Akin yard sign. Why would you vote for a commie lover, former state auditor, who "forgot" to pay in excess of $300,000 in taxes on her husband's airplane? Why would one stupid remark make a person decide to vote for one of Obama's biggest backers? It wouldn't. Akin will win!

Sen. Cornyn, we replaced KBH with a true conservative. You're next, notwithstanding the likely support of you by the usual cabal on this site.

I suggest Cornyn compare Akin's mis-statement to McKaskill's record.... replacing Reid is enough to vote for Akin.

I live in Missouri an I will vote for Akin. I am a conservative! I've waited for too many years to vote AGAINST Claire - she's a disaster. Akin may have mis-spoke but I've heard lots of politicians do worse. THIS Missourian is digging in her heels!

Cornyn made the call to cut funds immediately after the remark. Now he has to justify the decision. Simple enough explanation.

Way to go, yes sir, run down your candidate. Atta boy!!

From the Karl Rove school of stupidity!!

I'm a Texan, and I can't wait to support whoever runs against Cornyn in his next primary. Hell, Akin can still win. All he needs to do is keep tying McCaskell to Obamacare. She was braying like a Jackass when it came out of the senate. Ask the Missoure voters how well they like obamacare. It's easy.

Who got to Cornyn? With friends like him, who needs enemies?

On top of that he's wrong. Akin is going to win, with or without his help.

Republicans should stick together. He may be an ass, but he is better than his opponent. If crook Charlie Rangle can be re-elected and the mentally ill no-show Jezzy Jackson Jr. Why not this guy. His remark was stupid, but he would vote to get rid of Obamacare. There will be no perfect person and at least he did not drown anyone.

Cornyn is totally wrong about this! Rep. Akin's record in the House of Representatives PROVES he merits the job in the U.S. Senate!!! Akin will win despite the Rinos.

And didn't Cornyn want Charlie Crist in the last senate race in FL?

Cornyn gets it right a lot of the time, but Texas should be able to do better.

What happened to Dewhurst showed that even the most powerful standard-issue Texas Republican can be beaten by the right conservative/TEA party candidate. Cornyn isn't stupid...hopefully Ted Cruz will join him in the Senate, show him up big time & that will result in his smartening up el quicko.

Cornyn has cost RNC a bunch of money. They'll not get another penny from me until Cornyn is gone.

A non vote is a vote for McKasskil pictoonest.

Finding an "ass in the Senate" is like finding hay in a haystack.

I hope Akin wins and is the much needed swing vote for the Republicans. He will become the most powerful elected official in the Country.
