The problem is, and its posted by me above in prior comments above this, that he said this stupid thing at EXACTLY the wrong time for us and the perfect time for the libs.
The poster thinks that more defense of him would have saved the day, but Akin just gave libs everything they need to put so-cons opposition to abortion and the birth control mandate in the context they prayed for. That :'conservatives HATE wimmin'.
Now compare with :#41
Lets promote what wins, promotes what makes them lose the issue instead.
Akin seemed to be trying to argue that most wimmin who use the rape exception are lying, but that’s a very dangerous argument to make in a POTUS year against Obama and worse its suicidal when you are also fighting a popular birth control mandate at the same time, with the Rush unhelpful comments.
But take this years House abortion bill that gives a exception for rape as long as a police report was made.
Witness Blackburns answer to that setup question.
Its brilliant. Its a winner. Teach all GOP candidates how to win their issue.
