You are misconstruing what you see as an ‘oversample’. If more folks who were polled said they were Republican than Democrat, then that’s what happened.

Yeah, and I think Missouri just MIGHT lean Republican in its total voter count. Conventional wisdom has become conventional idiocy when it comes to analyzing polls here. Having exactly 50% Democrats and 50% Republicans in a poll is NOT the definition of an accurate poll.

“So should Romney withdraw too?”

Yes, if Romney had indicated that women were routinely using rape as a means of acquiring an abortion, then yes, he would have to step aside.

How would you punish those who commit the murder of innocent babies.

That is a legit question that you have yet to answer.

If you TRULY believe it is murder, than if you do not punish those who commit it, YOU ARE a hypocrite. I just wonder how you intend to punish them.

Abortion is MURDER. Murderers should be put on trial for murder. I realize that leftists such as yourself relish nuance, but many things really are as simple as they seem.

My pro-life views are hardly a secret. I'm quite sure that if you ask the others at any of the other leftist/anti-FReeper online cesspools you frequent they will tell you all about me.

Webster has about five definition for legitimate. One is actual. In that context he would be talking violent as opposed to statutory.
how do u defend Romney’s support of gay boy scout organization?

“Having exactly 50% Democrats and 50% Republicans in a poll is NOT the definition of an accurate poll.”

Look, Rasmussen has him down by 10 in less than a week, at 38% and McCaskill hasn’t even started her negative campaign against him.
For all you Akin supporters out there tell me where is Akin going to make up 12 percentage points to win this election?

If you think Mo is made up of 50% conservative voters, and all that is needed is for all good conservatives to get behind him and he will reach 50% you are delusional.

If he is still at 38%, he does have the great majority of the conservative vote already with him.
So tell me where is he going to make up the difference?

Anyone? Any answers?

Funniest thing is i am also an outspoken opponent of abortion in all cases, including health reasons or in cases of rape or incest.

I favor the death penalty for abortionists. I favor the death penalty for rapists.

I also oppose embryonic stem cell research, and think the First Amendment requires the government to provide each member of the militia with a weapon comparable to standard issue military equipment, and that would be up to and including tracked vehicles, artillery, drones, fighter bombers, and whatever else a military might need. (At the same time I think hunting wild game should be restricted to shotguns and shotgun slugs), and I am opposed to any increases in taxation and spending.

If i Were a U.S. Representative, I"d beat his petty little 96% ACU rating every time. BTW, the NRA would fear me. They do not defend arming the populace with the big guns.

Now, tell me, why should I buy into this clowns BS when it comes to accepting Democrat party help to run against real Conservatives?

You people are glossing right over that part.

Who do you claim did say that women were routinely using rape as a means of acquiring an abortion?

Good question ~ obviously the RNC should drop Romney right now for defending insertion of gays into Boy Scouts.

You are ignorant of the facts !

From your link:

Each year in the US, 10,000–15,000 abortions occur among women whose pregnancies are a result of reported rape or incest

Whose pregnancies are a result of reported rape or incest. Reported by whom? The women? Are their statements cross-checked with police reports, or do they just answer 'yes' to the question in order to get what they want?

No, I am not 'ignorant of the facts', I just choose to come to a conclusion based on facts, not just listen to a single organizations word on the issue

Just like a great man once said, trust but verify. Of all people, Reagan69, you should know that.

Sure I did. Probability went down from 3-5% to 2-4%. That’s a 25-33% drop.

Playing the victim is the sign of a desperate man.

Akins is dangerous in and of himself ~ he voluntarily allowed himself to be interrogated by a very well known leftwingtard extremist.

Doesn't he have advisors?

You want to run for Senate there are people you stay away from!

Again, courtesy ping

Much appreciated. Decorum seems to be a lost art here sometimes!

Ya know guys, if Akin’s 1/2 the man I believe him to be, God isn’t going to let Akin’s mouth get between him and a Senate seat!!Especially given the present opponent.

“For all you Akin supporters out there tell me where is Akin going to make up 12 percentage points to win this election?”

How’s it feel to be a useful idiot?? So far, I’ve seen you assist the media in blowing this man’s comments WAY out of proportion, stuffing words in his mouth that he actually didn’t say.

If you’re so worried about how Akin is going to make up the 12%, then I suggest you stop actively campaigning against him. I suspect, though, that that will never happen because you are a pro-abort troll.

“Who do you claim did say that women were routinely using rape as a means of acquiring an abortion?”

akin used the word legitimate rape, meaning there must be a category of illegitimate rape.

So it is up to you to defend illegitimate rape.

I will agree with you there. He fell for the famous liberal trap: the abortion exception.
