Mike Huckabee probably thinks he has a special responsibility for “Tool” Akin, or “Tooth” Akin, or whatever his name is, because of his “good Christian values”. And it was on Huckabee’s show, where these double gaffes were recited in almost one breath.

But cuss it all, you just can’t fix stupid. Apologize, maybe, but why not at least plead ignorance of up-to-date medical information? There is no “magical” way the complex process of conception is simply shut down because the experience was highly traumatic.

And why does any practicing conservative want to simply GIVE AWAY what should have been an almost slam-dunk win for the GOP?

Maybe Akin is doing God’s work. But does that mean getting Claire McCaskill re-elected to the Senate?

Because that is the effect.

people need to meet politicians in person. Many of them will leave you with the impression that they are “dumb as a doornail”

akin may be conservative, but he may still be stuck on stupid.

There is a REASON democrats paid 1.5 million for him to win the primary. He seems a mental midget which is an insult to little people.

How many other pro-life conservatives in the senate will suffer because of this?

If Akin had not been an idiot, many of the people on the right would be in charge of Senate Committees next year.

Instead, the column on the left will direct things.

You and everyone here that is doing her work attacking our candidate.
