They could explain it until they're blue in the face, but if the media ignores the explanation and Democrats want to exploit it, what good does it do?
Do you think that Democrats like Elizabeth Warren (who already has a radio ad quoting Akin) are going to air Akin's words, then include a comment that what he meant was "violent as opposed to statutory"? Of course, they won't. They'll play Akin and leave it at that.
All we can hope for now is that Democrats overplay their hands like they did at the Wellstone memorial.
So what you are saying is that Political Correctness trumps the Truth.
That is a reality. But is anyone willing to stand up and speak the truth? Or are we all going to cower in the corner and hope that the democrats play nice with Akin's replacement?
I'm all in for Akin. He committed the cardinal sin of not being politically correct. For that sin most of the Freepers here are ready to hang him.
Sad. The fact of the matter is that Akin is one of the most solid conservatives in Washington. But he gets no pass from Freepers who would prefer another Olympia Snowe to Akin. I don't recognize this forum anymore. We all stood up for Sarah Palin when she blew her interview with Katie Couric but Sarah Palin didn't bother to wait even 24 hours before throwing Akin under the bus.
It appears that too many conservatives are cowards. That is why Romney is the nominee. We were so afraid that Newt or Bachmann or Santorum would lose to Obama that we threw in with the RINO with the colored hair and the used car salesman smile.
We will get the government we deserve come November. It is not going to be pretty.
We will not be victorious because we don't seek victory, we seek appeasement.
We will get an unprincipled government because we don't honor principles.
