So why give them an opening?

Akin 98% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union. He had to be taken out. We can’t have conservative representatives.

I agree. This has to be fixed now. The Professional Right usually shoots first and asks questions later. This time they got it right.

I'd love to only have only perfect conservatives and politicians who never make a verbal gaffe. But the idea that anyone who makes one must be thrown under the bus is functionally insane. That would mean we'd have to get rid of Reagan, Gingrich, Romney, Santorum, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc. Where is the Republican who never made a gaffe that gave the opposition an opportunity to attack them? We'd be doing a lot better if we didn't show fear in the face of attacks like these. This just makes us look weak.
