There is a reason the GOP is called the Stupid Party. This election will be one of the nastiest and divisive this country will ever have. Obama and his thugs will pull no punches and spare nothing to win. They are bare knuckle street fighters intent on destroying the opposition.
If the GOP conducts the 2012 campaign like it did in 2008, it will lose again and continue to lose. No personal attacks on Obama. No questions about his associations with terrorists and communists. No attacks on his personal narrative. I guess the GOP can sit back on its smug high standards and feel superior in defeat. The only problem is that if we lose this election, it is game, set, and match for the country.
What Akin basically said was that any woman claiming her pregnancy was due to rape is lying because if it was a "legitimate" rape, her female body would have found ways to prevent the pregnancy from happening. I don't know, maybe Akin thinks the female body produces some sort of "sperm-killing" bacteria or something.
No matter how you slice it, this is kooky stuff and not something conservatives need to be defending for the next 11 weeks when they should be focused on building on their 2010 victories and taking this nation back. Akins can spout his nonsense on Art Bell while we put a responsible adult in charge of winning the Missouri senate seat.
