"Step in the right direction?" Exactly how far is that "step" going to take us? Because I don't think comments online from Freepers are going to affect Akin's chances to beat McCaskill at all.
What you're really doing is trying to squelch any discussion/analysis as to how Akin's comments affect his chance. As if all of us shutting up about Akin will magically make this issue go away.
Remember that McCaskill is the one saying he should stay in the race. The Democrats are the ones who spent more than a million to help him win the nomination. So when you try to shut down discussion from conservatives as to whether he is actually the best candidate, you ought to consider the motives of those with whom you are in agreement.
I can't stop you guys from any discussion here, but it would go a long way by letting this not get waaaay bigger than it should be.
Akin may not be the best candidate at this time, but you have failed to get him to leave the election, and as a consequence, you're helping the Dim Dems.
And for your information and the rest of the self-defeatists, Romney has figured it out to shut his trap about giving ammunition to the enemy rats. Only the Dummies keep this up.
