Certainly, it is politically unwise for this guy to be having this conversation after the beating he's been receiving over his earlier comments. First of all, these women sound like idiots, and no politician should be caught having a sensitive conversation with idiots. Other than that, I actually kind of wish that more politicians actually had convictions AND stuck by them and were not afraid to speak TRUTH.

Think of it this way: 50 years ago, anyone saying things that these women are saying would have been laughed at as simple-minded fools, and what Akin is saying would have been seen as simple common sense. Nowadays, it is exactly the reverse, and that is precisely because everybody is scared to go against the politically correct nonsense. If people would stop being scared of saying truthful things, we wouldn't have to go through this pain every time someone speaks the truth.

That said, yeah, I recognize that the media will crucify Akin for this. My question is WHY ARE CONSERVATIVES HELPING THEM DO IT?
