It has all to do about stupid comments by a politician.
Wrong. When a warrior has fought hard on your side for a decade you don't abandon him over one error. Akin's history is totally relevant to how he should be treated now. He's got a career and a record we can look at. Even from a political standpoint, that's something he can point to in the rest of his campaign. It's not like this comment is the only thing he ever did and the only thing he have to judge him by.
Likewise, the Romneys and Roves of the GOP and their subordinate lapdogs Ryan and Rience are all too eager to throw Akin under the bus because he actually stood up to the party establishment to fight for conservative principles that they were abandoning during Bush's tenure. I can guarantee you if it was McCain who made this gaffe, the party would not be throwing him under the bus, but would be happy to give him a second chance.
But the warrior abandoned YOU with his backpeddling of his own words. You are literally posting from under the bus where you've been thrown by that same "warrior".
I stopped there. I don't see where Romney, Rove or McCain fall into this gaffe since I'm not a Romney or a McCain supporter.
“When a warrior has fought hard on your side for a decade you don’t abandon him over one error”
So the man is more important than the message? This will cost the conservative movement a senate seat, and that is too high a price to pay for an “error” as you call it.
He is now the poster boy for all those who want to categorize pro-life supporters as backward, neanderthal, redneck, Bible thumping, ignorant fanatics.
Thanks Todd.
Morality plays have a different sort of judgment.
