What part is it exactly you just don't get? His voting record and prior standing as a solid conservative doesn't matter now. The statement he made makes him look like a out of touch, doddering, fool that either A) really believes this stupid statement or B) has no idea where babies come from or C) does not understand what a heinous crime rape is.
AND THAT IS THE BRUSH THE MEDIA AND DEMOCRATS WILL PAINT EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN ON THE TICKET WITH FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS!
Our chances to dispose of Obama and retake the Senate are vanishing with every second this self-serving idiot stays in the race, and this is an election we cannot afford to lose.
Don't you get it?
If you think that tossing Akin to the Dem beast will be enough to satiate him, then you are sadly mistaken. It just whets its appetite. And what kind of message does this send to other Rep candidates who must walk on eggshells for fear of saying something politically incorrect. Do we now have the "one mistake and your out" rule with the MSM deciding what consititutes a mistake? Is the GOP so afraid of the "War on Women" appellation that they will engage in self-censorship, the worst censorship of all?
Why does the GOP (The Stupid Party) treat good and decent men like Todd Akin so unfairly? Couldn't they have handled it the way the Dems do for far more serious offenses? Apologize, clarify, and move on? Instead, they piled on Akin at the very outset of the MSM hysteria. Even George "Macacca" Allen demanded Akin withdraw for saying something stupid.
