I am not talking about GOP strategy - I am talking about an interview. It was clearly a question Kelly was thinking of - she asked it! A couple times! But she let Ireland talk over it. It was a perfect "teaching" moment to those low information voters to be instructed on what is really going on with this issue.
So, I don't give Kelly the credit to think she was leading Ireland into ambush. She had conceded arguendo the right of the woman to decide; setting up Ireland to specifically address the real issue - why should someone else fund it. She had Ireland in her sights - dead on; and she blew it.
As to 2012; tactics is always one thing, and certainly one can speak to ones strengths amongst the wider electorate; but if Republicans are not going to ultimately be about principle, then the Republicans be damned.
I, as one conservative at least, do not want a government which feels it has the power to compel one to act against one's conscience on such a fundamental issue.
It is absurd to blame Rush. The democrats will always raise the 'war on women' thing; the 'race card', etc. They don't need Rush, you, or me or whoever to do that. It is what they do, and who they are. What is needed is a honest public debate to begin dispelling the lies and distortions. We had a chance at that last night - and Kelly blew it. This is not Rush's fault.
Megyn’s rightful focus was to shine a light, from which the goblin queen of the NAGs surely wanted to escape, on how she and her minions could possible justify including these kind-hearted nuns in their list of the “dirty 100”. Any other topic, like the one you raise, would not only be a distraction, but also a welcome one, as Her Ugliness would surely prefer to move to a topic on which the country is more evenly divided.
Megyn’s job was to stick to the Dirty 100 topic, since once explained, that is a “choice” that NOW made that very few will support.
And Megyn did a GREAT job.

Not just Rush, Akin and a couple others.
They dont ‘use the WOW against Republicans who don't let them, like they cant use it against Kelly. She owned the segment and the issue. They only use it against the dumb ones.
A number of months back the MSM was trying to trap Marsha Blackburn on a house bill that banned abortion but had a rape exception only if they filed a police report.
The libs were all upset about that bill and even More-so when Blackburn replied to a question about it with “We need to track down all these rapists”.
It was a home run and yet a whiner here pings my thread whining about that bill, 'There should be no exception of BABLABLA'.
Some just want to lose.
