Shake Pt. 2!


Embattled senate candidate Todd Akin is defiant. The Republican House and Senate Leaders are now calling for him to resign from Congress, entirely.

This controversy is ongoing. We here at Journal de la Reyna will cover this.

Washed up celebrity and televangelist Kirk Cameron is coming to the defense of the controversial Republican Congressman Todd Akin of Missouri.

Known as Mike Seaver from the 1980s sitcom Growing Pains, the conservative activist is demanding the Republicans to back off of the congressman. He joins the choir of anti-abortion activists throwing their support for the embattled senate candidate.

Washed up celebrity turned televangelist Kirk Cameron comes in support of Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) amid a brewing controversy of women's reproductive rights!
Akin won the Missouri U.S. Senate primary after a bitter fight against two primary opponents.

Now as the pressure mounts, the congressman's gains are going up in smoke.

Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas, U.S. Senate campaign organizer) and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, Minority Leader) have called for Akin to get out. The biggest call to get out comes from the Romney campaign. Those request were ignored.

Akin is turning to the anti-abortion activists and fellow Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) for moral support and fundraising.

Not backing down. Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri).
In what is considered cracks in the once stable Republican Party. The movement is showing signs of division.

Those who support pro-life positions are still shaky with Romney. They believe that Romney is going to continue to endorse abortion laws. Romney was once a pro-choice governor. Mitt Romney denies he was a pro-choice governor. The conservative base were hoping for Rick Santorum to continue his failed presidential bid to unseat the potential nomination of Mitt Romney. They were rushing to the internet and television saying that the media was in love with not only President Barack Obama, but the perennial presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Some in the conservative media are upset with Akin and they're calling for him to get out!

Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, the three most controversial voices in the conservative media are claiming that the "liberal media" lets politicians like Vice President Joe Biden get away with comments but they're so focused on Akin because he's a conservative. Although these three would love to see Akin get out the race, they're going to blame the media for the controversy.

Former governor and Tea Party queen, Sarah Palin has demanded that Republicans choice another candidate that appeals to the conservative causes. Palin blames Akin if the race tips in favor of Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri).

McCaskill is hoping that division among the party establishment and the Tea Party, will help her win her race and carry the state for President Obama.

Mitt Romney has no backbone. He can't even keep his party in line. Every freaking time he tries to make the case for party unity, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and now Congressman Todd Akin are upstaging him at every whim.

Romney upset over Akin's refusal to concede.
The Romney Campaign complains about the president having no leadership and yet here we are! The Republican ticket can't even get a member of their party to resign. They made the controversy worse by calling for him to get out! The Republicans care only about winning! This is why the Tea Party is not relevant.

President Barack Obama does carry a share of trouble with his conservative Democrats. Some come from states that care about issues like firearms, abortion and regulations. Take West Virginia, for example. Two Democratic senators and the coal mining industry. The industry disapproves of President Obama.

The state of Arkansas. Known for the world's largest retailer Walmart, many in the state support non-union work and forestry. One Democrat and one Republican. One longtime Democrat was beat in the 2010 U.S. Midterm Election. Another one may retire and put the seat in Republican hands. The state highly disapproves of President Obama.

Republicans are purging their moderates. Over 50 members of Congress are getting out.

Republican and Democratic Senators and Representatives are getting fed up with the partisanship (rush to the cameras) members.

A list of those mention have been on television more:

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida, Democratic Party National Chair), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Illinois), Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California, Minority Leader), Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-New York), Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois),  Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin, current vice presidential nominee), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio, Speaker of The House), Congressman Eric Cantor (R-Virginia, House Majority Leader), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut), Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada, Majority Leader), Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah).

These are the most well known members of Congress. Known for controversial statements.
