The comments are worth a trip over there. Oh, and if you'll remember, Governor Sarah Palin backed Steelman.
Remember when Akin’s opponent, Claire McCaskill, insisted that Obama never said he wanted to fundamentally transform America?
Now how stupid was that?
The Video Claire McCaskill does not want you to see.

When talking about rape just leave it at rape.
To put it bluntly, it’s time we learn from 2010’s few losses.
People like this DO NOT LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES.
He will repeat gaffes in the future, possibly EVEN WORSE. It’s time to Freep the heck out of anybody who can make him change his mind.

Regrettably, it doesn’t matter what Claire McCaskill, or Joe Biden, or any Democrat says—No matter how idiotic or outrageous—Because the media won’t cover it 24/7 like they will when a Republican steps on themselves.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
And thanks go out to Hannity for playin’ along with his fellow Partisan Media Shills.
“Regrettably, it doesn’t matter what Claire McCaskill, or Joe Biden, or any Democrat says—No matter how idiotic or outrageous—Because the media won’t cover it 24/7 like they will when a Republican steps on themselves.”
That’s because Democrats promise government bennies and people who want free money don’t care what people say as long as they get their $$$.
What’s most distressing here is that the candidate is right. Rape seldom (more seldom than one in 400,000 incidents) results in pregnancy. Charles Rice, Notre Dame Law professor, wrote extensively about this (in First Things) during the Roe v. Wade hearings because he was not permitted to testify. Sure, it may have been an impolitic statement, but that doesn’t make it unscientific. (The figures, as I remember, took into account only PROSECUTED rapes. I know pro-choicers claim that many so-called rape-victims dare not go the prosecution-route; but without that stat, the cited figure stands. Further, Prof. Rice pointed out, hospitals throughout the country routinely “cleanse the victims of their attackers” if the rape is reported within 24-odd hours.
I love the prez’s claim that “Rape is rape.” Oh, yeah? Maybe he ought to check with the Duke LAX team.
This guy will cost us the senate because it is close to 50:50 now. Steelman will win this seat, Akin needs to drop out ASAP.
Simply amazing!
DANG . . . I couldn’t agree more! Cowards all.
Yep.
You can stand with Todd Akin or you can stand with the agents of the DNC, MSM, the Obama White House and The NOW who are all out to destroy a true Pro Life Conservative.
A man who doesn’t know which end of the sword to hold isn’t going to be “fighting” effectively no matter how sincere he is about fighting.
This is about competence.

NAILED IT!!!
If we owned the media as well as Dims did it would be a “Biden Moment” and it would be overlooked...
We don’t own the media so we have to be 200% more error proff than the Dims, if that means we have to hold to impossibly hight standards than so be it.
You betcha!
He's probably lost Republican candidates millions of Democrat votes this year by getting into the argument that their taxes ought to be increased.
They don't like taxes any more than we do ~ and there was Hannity doing the heavy lifting for Obama on that critical issue.
I think the guy works for the DNC.
Oh, THAT’s what’s it’s about. Competence spelled play-the-game? Competence is worthless without truth-telling and other prized ethics. Is competence now measured by how efficiently one lies? And how exactly does Akin’s core belief on abortion remotely affect his competence in a thousand other spheres?
Stand with Akin and let Claire get re~elected, that’ll show ‘em!
At this point, standing with Akin is standing with the DNC, MSM, and Obama. Because you are standing with a loser, whose loss helps them. You can make yourself feel good by riding a sinking ship down, or you can actually DO GOOD, and get a republican elected who will vote obamacare away.
