I imagine open primaries are not good. I’ll go along with you on that. Do you feel Akin is too conservative on the life issue, in fact a bit extreme, and McCaskill is capitalizing on that? Or do you think he is a poor politician (not a conservative) all around? Because there’s nothing really wrong with someone being extreme on pro-Life. Surely our Christ is, correct?
It is not whether he is too conservative. It is all about being able to articulate a rational thought and convey it without sounding like a blithering idiot. I’ll use Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz as a prime example. The other failure on his part was if it was a verbal blunder, why was he not able to detect that during the interview and correct it on the spot? He had no idea until the media and blogs went wild and that is why he doubled down on it using other excuses to obfuscate what was in his heart and head which is a far cry from reality.
I mean, really, is this someone you would want representing you? From all accounts, Brunner and Steelman passed the conservative acid test on this issue as well so it is not the issue of who was more conservative, but has everything to do with the stunning stupidity of open primaries.
It is his judgement that is in question and somebody in the Democrat party knew this. Why didn’t someone in the Republican party know this as well?
I doubt Christ would have been so foolish as to let one’s enemy choose one’s representative. That’s the issue here. Quit being foolish and acting like Akin is the only pro life candidate in Missouri. He’s not. He’s just the worst of them, a stupid career politician.
Nothing wrong about extremism in support of life.
Akin’s problem is he told women rape victims (and thei families) who happened i get pregnant that they did not
suffer a “legitimate rape”. They pulled a Bobby Knight “lay back and enjoy it” number.
