Does the "for" equal for the purpose or for the reason?
1. Akin's said:
“From what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin said. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
2. And he said:
"The people of Missouri chose me, and I don't believe it's right for party bosses to decide to override those voters."
My question is what does the "for" mean in "for party bosses".
I try to answer and which one is right in the following?
A. for party bosses = for the reason of party bosses
B. for party bosses = for the purpose of party bosses

It can be restated:
"The people of Missouri chose me, and I don't believe it's right that party bosses decide to override those voters."
"The people of Missouri chose me, and I don't believe it's right that party bosses decide to override those voters."

As your suggestion, the use of the "for party bosses" is to say "and I don't believe it's right that the thing (to decide to override those voters) as party bosses regards."

The sentence is talking abut right and wrong. There is nothing in the sentence about purpose or reason. The party bosses do not regard an

May I understand this sentence according to the use of the "for"? (for shows as being or as part of----that means someone say so as part of ***)

"The people of Missouri chose me, and I don't believe it's right for party bosses to decide to override those voters."
This is the original.
Have it more expression:
"Anyhow, the people of Missouri chose me (as a Republican), therefore,I don't believe for party bosses, it is right to decide to override voters. "

Hi Khoff,
When "and I don't believe" appears, it is difficult for me to find the "and" acts as a simple "and".
For an example:
When a Muslim American citizen who puts on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness,longsuffering, was refused an audience with the president of the United States, he will say "I am a Muslim American citizen and I love the people hostile to me , and I
