I acknowledge your perfection and you take it as an insult?
OK, you are better than perfect.
How’s that?
Great post.
Years ago I was willing to go along with the rape exception, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that it was a completely unjustifiable position.
The children of criminals, no matter how they were conceived, are not criminals themselves. We consider barbaric those societies which both today and historically have punished entire families for the crime of one person.
(Why? We are stuck with Akin so might as well try to win. If Romney and the other establishment types would learn to STFU, it would have been much easier to win and all this would have been forgotten by the time the hurricane is a few days out. It wasn’t the dems that turned this into a national circus.)
A good point indeed. Akin is a true conservative and has proven reliable but so many liberals rinos eat their own and throw conservatives under the bus whenever they can. It is why I lest the other liberal party to become an independent conservative.
You seem entirely incapable of understanding how the political blunders this man has made will have reverberations.
I am not on television making stupid comments that
affect whether or not the prolife party wins the seat.
You can be very smug about how you have now seen the (obvious) philosophical incoherence of “rape” and “incest” allowing for abortion. That has been clear to me for 40 years. There is the little matter of persuding the many, who think very shallowly about these things to move in the direction of the truth, reducing as many abortions as possible, until, the whole reality of abortion is seen for what it is.
Now, however, the left has been handed a gift by the clod from Missouri who will stay in and lose. Oh, well, at least you have finally figured out that a child killed for the reason of “rape” is just as much a child as one killed for any other reason.
My prayers, encouragement and support have been and will continue to be heading in Akin's way.
I would much rather have a Senator that occasionally misspeaks then repents and apologizes than have a bumbling fool for vice president that blurts out one asinine gaff after another and is too stupid to even know he is chewing on his own foot.
JMHO
Thanks. We will just agree to disagree. Akin can and will strike back. The GOP should stop attacking him and provide him the financial support he needs to fight back. He can still win this race. Romney and Ryan should have stayed out it, but their condemnation of Akin makes it just that more difficult to go forward. The Reps have just formed a circular firing squad and are only doing damage to themselves, not just Akin. It is any wonder the GOP is called the Stupid Party?
WTF? We're now evoking the name of soros? Why don't you call Akin Hitler or racist or..... Sheeeesh. There is almost no discernible difference between the rinos that are infesting this forum and the liberal assclowns in the 'mainstream' media.
Akin is a good, honorable, Christian, Conservative man. The only thing anyone has found to criticize him on is one little word in one little sentence and now you all are going to throw him out the window with the bath water?
Keep this stupid s*** up and obama will win again.
Anyone that loves Missouri and America will vote for him in November. PERIOD!
You do know that Huckabee endorsed Dewhurst in the Texas primary, not Ted Cruz, right?
In what way is a member of Congress like Akin,who served six terms and had the backing of the Missouri GOP for the Senate, not a part of the "GOP Establishment"?
Oh, and by the way, Akin is having a positive effect:
Rasmussen: Missouri - Obama 47 Romney 46
for Claire McCaskill and Barry Obama.
Akin is so caught up in his own "mission", encouraged by the Hucjabee and his followers, that he may wind up putting Obama back in the White House. That'll show the GOP Establishment, eh?
That last sentence is supposed to read, "Anyone that loves Missouri and America will vote for Akin in November."
tonyinohio - You do know that Huckabee endorsed Dewhurst in the Texas primary, not Ted Cruz, right?
WWWTT - I do and if you read and understood my post you would know that I am not a Huckabee fan but that does not preclude him from being right from time to time.
tonyinohio - In what way is a member of Congress like Akin,who served six terms and had the backing of the Missouri GOP for the Senate, not a part of the "GOP Establishment"?
WWWTT - Romney is "GOP Establishment". He is pro-death, pro-obombacare (he authored it for crying out loud), pro-bigger government, etc. Akin is not and his "six terms" in the House supports this conclusion. If it didn't you would be attacking his record and not just one little word in one little sentence from one, not so well thought out, interview on some obscure little, dying cable network.
tonyinohio - Oh, and by the way, Akin is having a positive effect:
Rasmussen: Missouri - Obama 47 Romney 46
for Claire McCaskill and Barry Obama.
WWWTT - Of course the polls are reading this way. They don't want to be sued by obama's DOJ the way Gallop is being sued for not carrying the administration's water.
Is that why you are posting the poll results tonyinohio? Because you want to carry obama's water?
It's tough knowing what a real conservative is isn't it tony? You are surrounded by liberals up there and well.... being lukewarm is just easier eh?
Me... Well I'm of the mindset, like Akin is, that there is NO REASON to EVER murder a child and I too, like Akin, am tired of rino and liberal asshats throwing all their red herrings into the discussion (i.e. no abortions 'except' in the cases of rape, incest, life of the mother, etc.....)
It's all bullcrap and I, like Akin and other pro-lifers are sick of it. You want to endorse pro-deathers? That is your prerogative but don't drag us down with you.
tonyinohio - Akin is so caught up in his own "mission", encouraged by the Hucjabee and his followers, that he may wind up putting Obama back in the White House.
WWWTT - That's it tonyinohio... Live the coward's life. Be afraid of what a few little loudmouthed occupiers will say about you huh?
Shame on you. If Akin doesn't win it will be because people like you are so petty that you won't do the right thing and vote for the best person for the job. You would rather have someone that has a closet full of dead men's bones hidden from everyone's sight than a good, honorable man, whose entire life and his mistake are out in the open for the whole world to see. Why is that tonyinohio? Do you get a thrill from the hope that the clowns you support won't get caught?
Akin is a good, decent, principled man with a good conservative record.
tonyinohio - That'll show the GOP Establishment, eh?
WWWTT - The only way Akin will lose is if people like you don't grow a spine, learn to forgive and forget and end up casting your vote for a liberal.
If you lived in Missouri I'd ask you "what you are going to do" but since you don't I will simply laugh at you k? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA H.....
Huckabee is not usually someone I support or Champion because of his lack of honesty about his own spotty record where limited Government and support of Illegals is concerned, however, in this instance, he is spot on.
The GOP has done their best this election cycle to move left, and try and lie about or obfuscate that move.
The end result of a possible Romney Presidency will be the loss of the GOP as a home for conservatives.
By supporting this turd of a candidate, at any level, we as conservatives have sold out the most precious of issues, especially from a Conservative perspective:
1. Abortion
2. The Gay Agenda
“I figure Willard loses in November and even if he doesn’t, I suspect that in the end Obamacare will not be repealed. That’s really the bottomline for most conservatives in this election cycle.”
Yup. It’ll be like the balanced budget amendment in the 80’s and 90’s. It’ll become “just too difficult to do” once the gop is elected.
“I’m convinced the ballot box has become a worthless lost cause.”
Depends if you’re talking at the Federal or state and local level.
Huckabee has blemishes like any politician, but I’d far rather have him heading the GOP ticket right now than Mitt. At least Huckabee has a years long record as a social conservative with fiscal conservative leanings. I’ll grant you that he was looking for some kind of green card program for illegals, but that’s better than Romney who just keeps hiding his position.
But Romney is out as pro-gun control, pro-homosexualism, pro-choice, pro-tax/revenue enhancement, pro-Romneycare, etc.
So, Akin, Huck, or Mitt. I could vote for the first two, but not ever for the last.
It’s at all levels in my state.
