And who’s going to hear about our principles? The convention is coming up, and the media will use this Akin issue to drown out the entire convention message. A huge waste of an unique opportunity.
Nobody is asking Akin to resign due to his principles; he should resign because he is a liability to every other GOP candidate running.
His *inexcusable* lack of preparation underlines the fact that he is a bad candidate. After all, what conservative politician isn’t aware that the media will try to trip him up on the most controversial social issue of our time, and prepares for it accordingly?
This was a careless, self-inflicted wound. He is already a casualty by his own careless hand. He should not be allowed to create more GOP casualties during the most crucial election in our history!
“...the media will use this Akin issue to drown out the entire convention message. A huge waste of an unique opportunity.”
Well, I think conservatives should welcome a convention pro-life message. The GOP Establishment might have a different idea however.
