Two examples, Akin and O’Donnell, the two did irreparable damage to themselves by their stupid statements.

I believe that is untrue. It is when the GOP establishment piles on and attacks a candidate that they become falsely portrayed as making stupid statements.

Karl Rove's most important candidate, George Bush, said lots of stupid things and mangled his words. The Left published entire books of "Bush-isms" compiling all the stupid things that Karl Rove's George Bush said.

George Bush was convicted of a DWI. Bush failed in business after business. What sucess Bush had was from his daddy's connections. Even his mother Barbara Bush lamented that the Bush men can't seem to talk without tripping over their words.

But Karl Rove didn't quit on George Bush. By contrast, at the slightest mistake, the GOP establishment FALSELY accuses conservative candidates, piles on, and dramatizes routine and normal slips of the tongue.

For example, Obama clamed that the US Constitution is 2,000 years old. Why isn't that a stupd thing that should disqualify Obama from winning an election -- twice?

STUPID THINGS THAT GEORGE BUSH -- KARL ROVE'S CANDIDATE -- SAID:

A statement most reminiscient of Todd Akin:

"Too many OBGYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

What do you think of a candidate who says "Too many OBGYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

Bush wants to put family on the food. He wants our wings to take dream. He says there are reports on the internetS.

But George Bush is Karl Rove's kind of candidate, right?

Don't get me wrong, I campaigned for both George Bush and Christine O'Donnell.

But why are George Bush's stupid statements just fine with Karl Rove and the GOP establishment?

Some thoughtful comments for sure.

I’ll respond to your last comment first; you already know the answer, he’s a Dem and has the main stream media providing cover for him (him being Obama).

About Bush, most of what you say has an element of truth in them. However, history will eventually show that Bush, in spite of his Texas drawl, is/was a pretty smart guy. And, by the way, failing numerous times before succeeding is not a sin. Keeping on trying however is an attribute, especially when trying in the west Texas oil patch.

Concerning Akin and O’donald specifically; there are many independents and fiscal conservatives who are willing to turn a blind eye to some of conservative care abouts such as abortion and 2nd amendment issues and pull the lever for the Republican ticket. However, Akin’s comments were so over the top ridiculous that these people couldn’t get them and thereby didn’t/wouldn’t vote for him.

Bush’s mistakes were misspronouncements or just misspeaks. Akin said a stupid thing and then doubled down on it. There is a huge difference.
