Conveniently chosen clip.

Rush was clear: Akin continuing forward endangers the election in MO and beyond.

He said he believes Akin knows the right thing to do.

I glad Rush isn’t. It has been shameful what the GOP has done and for what? Is it for such a fear of the left or total hunger for power? Akin has two daughters. There isn’t any doubt about how he feels concerning the seriousness of rape. The man apologized almost immediately and rather than the Democrats making a PC circus of this it is the GOP? This isn’t the GOP we need to win. Sure he said something that was more theory than fact which was stupid but do we really want to set this standard? Are we going to throw a rich Rhino under the bus for saying stupid things or worse? I’ve yet to see it. I remember the horrible way Trent Lott was drummed out and I wasn’t even a fan but I defended him and I will continue to defend good men from piling on and beat downs.

How is Rush wrong? It is because he said Akin should go but won’t tell him what to do?

Cave? The libs are the only ones who want Akin to stay in the race. McCaskill actually ran pro-Akin ads during the GOP primary. The man is a sure loser.

The dems spent 1.5 million on this primary win.

"Call it a wise investment in light of his recent comments: Democrats wanted Missouri Republican congressman Todd Akin to win his state’s hotly contested Senate GOP primary because they believed he gave incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill her best shot at retaining her seat."

He makes a mistake in his commentary. A woman's body doesn't "shut down". It actually goes into overdrive!

stress hormones miscarriage cortisol

A pregnant woman under stress, and having a baby from an act of rape has to be (I'm not a woman so that's opinion) stressful on a woman, produces higher levels of cortisol which increases the risk of miscarriage.

Simply looking into this a little bit would reduce a lot of this mistaken commentary.

Oh, sorry, my bad. I turned him off too soon.

I’m glad he didn’t side with Akin.

I understand your position - you are embarassed - I get that. However, your vision of the ‘future’ and the direction of it cannot supercede the rights of his constituency, regardless of national political impacts. If he is in fact a loser and poster child, then his voters should see it. Hopefully, he and his campaign will see it.

Forcing him to quit through MSM badgering and GOPe collusion is no better an option than Obama and MSM badgering Romney about his taxes.

He’s heard the opinions, his constiuents have and we have to wait and see if he’ll do the right thing.

Yep, the Republicans have once again rolled over and played dead and will continue to do so if DemonRats give the command. This makes me sick to my stomach. They are wussfied and need to man up for a change.

Rush is a blithering idiot today. Totally useless and actually a menace to us, as he is giving that imbecile Akin hope. Pathetic. Doesn't Rush realize that the Democrats CHOSE Akin, spent $1.5 million to buy ads to promote him among conservatives, and now McCaskill and Markos Moulitas are practically begging him to stay in, with Markos' partner PPP even doing a phony poll with massive GOP oversampling to convince Akin all is well? So much for "show prep".

I’m not sure why these politicians want to sink themselves over something that will NEVER occur. There will never be totally outlawed abortion in all cases. IT wont happen.

there will never be rape panels to put women on trial to assess who has been rape “legitimately” and who hasn’t and if they deem you are telling the truth you get a rape ticket to get your abortion. This will never happen.

or perhaps they delusionally think these things will actually occur.

2 years from now there could well be an article that says Todd Akin was right. Then the vindication will come and the right to life argument furthered. That is then and this is now. 80 days until a major election is not enough time to control the discussion.

I’m turning Rush off today because it is a waste of time. Rush is totally, completely wrong on this issue.

You should have listened to everything Rush said on the subject. He thinks Akin should drop out.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
It sure is a convenient time to make a mountain out of a molehill though, isn't it.

My opinion on your opinion is that this might be the very "learning moment" that is desperately needed in this nation.

All Akin needed to say in his opposition to abortion even due to pregnancy from rape is:

“The child conceived in the womb due to a rape is innocent of that crime. How does killing that child bring about justice or help the original victim?”

Now, people may still insist on allowing abortion due to rape, but they cannot argue with the view that that child is innocent and guilty of nothing other than existing. Why impose the death penalty on the innocent child?

But, Akin’s didn’t do that, at best he made a statement based on an unproven, gray-area theory. He blew it big time and needs to step aside as HE is now the issue, not the principles of the issue.

If it was just a couple of weeks prior to the election it might make sense to circle the wagons to defend him, but that isn’t the case. There is still time to beat the democrat with another candidate.
