“In Illinois’ 2004 Senate race, when the popular conservative Jack Ryan looked certain to win on the issues, the left attacked him for having grasped at straws to save his marriage and avoid a divorce.”

Well, that is certainly one way to rewrite history. For those who may not be aware of the details of that situation, the “grasping at straws to save his marriage” amounted to (allegedly) trying to cajole his wife to go to sex clubs and engage in public sex acts in the presence of (and maybe with?) strangers.

Admittedly, Akin’s comments were sophomorically stupid and ill-informed. No doubt an appeasing attempt to pander to the left by offering some excuse other than a simple “I am against abortion because it is just plain murder of a human soul” and then to stand by that assertion.

This brouhaha against him is just the “Foleyization” of this election. The more it is discussed and argued the more ittakes away our edge in bringing Obama’s miserable failure on the economy and jobs.

You cannot reason with liberals or fight them with logic- you defeat them utterly at the polls by ignoring their bleats. Accepting defeat on some predicated moral high ground only fuels them further.

This is much ado about nothing.

Thank you for posting. Interesting.

He used the word “legitimate” correctly, meaning “real,” or “properly identified”… but the left has twisted his statement to ridiculously imply that he believes some rapes are acceptable, proper, lawful. A completely different use of the word than he intended, as is obvious to anyone with sense. But because the word could be taken a couple of different ways, the media ran with the deception.

Yep -- and a whole lot of "conservatives" fell into that net and the liberal media reeled them in.

MaKaSSKill is target rich. There is the National Debt, the Downgrade, the fact that the Reid/MaKaSSKill Senate has not passed a bill in over three years, ObamaCare, unemployment, etc.

The Idiot apologized. Period.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time to carpet bomb Missouri with ads that focus on what people are worried about, namely jobs, the economy, and the national debt and (did I say)jobs. Let us get on with it and win the damn war.

I have give credit where it’s due and commend willard, inc. for their masterful handling of this whole sordid affair. Within 24 hours willard, inc. successfully threw the socon under the bus, burnished their pro-abort credentials, demonstrated what happens to conservatives who step out of line, and did so with the tacit approval of the so-called conservative base. And for a bonus, they demonstrated that they would be able to silence the conservative Paul Ryan on an issue he has to date been a vocal on: the cause to end infanticide.

Gotta hand it to them. willard, inc. makes Machiavelli and alinsky look like a couple of pikers.
