Oh, dear! That is the limit! the Karl Rove and the GOPe would rather lose ten times over than elect a candidate who speaks too much about Jesus!
Akin spoke out ONCE incautiously. But he had a very strong conservative record, and I was very disappointed to see how many Freepers swallowed the liberal line.
Who would you rather have in office, a pro-lifer who commits a harmless gaffe, or a baby-killer who never saw a kid he didn't want to kill? If the Republicans hadn't all jumped on Akin as well as the Dems, but defended him instead, he probably would have won.
That is correct. Akin was leading before the comment and Missouri went for McCain. Women were persuaded by the GOP -E to dislike him and not vote for him. The grassroots got into verbal squabbles. Some conservatives wanted him to quit instead of helping him win. Talk about eating your own.
I meant Missouri went for Romney. Ha. I get them both confused, not hard to do.
