| Gingrich Akin -- Redemption Leading to Victory |
Former House Speaker and GOP Presidential candidate Newt
Gingrich knows something about redemption. Despite his shameful past, both
personal and political, he refused to be intimidated by moderators and media
hype, running a vocal and outspoken campaign, sharpening the GOP nominee while
landing well-placed attacks against the Mainstream Media and the President.
Gingrich is the perfect person to endorse and campaign for Missouri
Congressman Todd Akin, a becoming statesman who commands a great deal of
integrity, refusing to bow out of the race despite pressure from his own party
leaders and media elites. Unlike Gingrich, Akin simply made a mistake when
discussing the fraught and intimate details surrounding abortion, yet he
apologized for it, and is pressing ahead for the win in the “Show Me” State.
It’s too bad that of all the major power players in the
Republican Party, only Newt Gingrich has summoned up the courage not only to
stand by the embattled challenger for the senate seat in Missouri, but that he alone
has had the foresight and fierceness to challenge the Democratic party for
their extreme views on abortion, including their recent move to drop Keynote
Speaker and former President Bill Clinton’s celebrated compromise: “Safe,
legal, and rare” from the party platform.
Todd Akin deserves to win the US Senate seat. He and other
politicians are the face of the future so needed yet still so lacking in
Washington: statesmen who admit their faults, refuse to fall in line with
party, and stand up for principle.
