If NARAL has a man of the year award, it should go to Todd Akin.
Not only did the newly minted Missouri Senate candidate express his position on abortion in the most discrediting way possible, he threatens Republican hopes to take the Senate. By throwing away a winnable seat, he could preserve a Democratic majority that will sooner desecrate the American flag on the Senate floor than restrict abortion in any manner.
Predictably, the Akin flap has created a feeding frenzy. In recent days, the national political debate has seemingly telescoped down to the question of whether abortion should be legal in cases of rape and incest. The Republican platform is silent on these exceptions, while Paul Ryan opposes them, stoking Democratic attacks and media analysis about the renewal of the fabled “war on women.”
The Democrats and the press habitually travel in a pack, but never more so than when a social or cultural issue is involved, especially one touching on sexual morality. Then, it’s not a matter of mere partisanship or a rooting interest. It’s personal.
From a strictly down-the-middle, neutral perspective, if one side of a debate is “extreme,” the opposite and countervailing side is equally “extreme.” It would never even occur to the media to apply this standard to abortion. Under the guise of upholding abortion rights, Barack Obama could favor denying legal protection to babies after they are born and the press wouldn’t bat an eyelash. In fact—he did.

I hate unfinished sentences.
Ah yes, yet another attempt to hijack a thread critical of 0 with a completely irrelevant “HATE THE GOP” screed.
So which Leftist propaganda bot outfit do you work for?

You’re so right, but unfortunately the fact doesn’t make Akins any smarter.
It is entirely possible he is too stupid to serve. Certainly he overates his own value, at possibly the expense of the nation, and has brought all hell and distraction down on every Republican contender across the nation. Another desperate narcissist who will not be dislodged, no matter whom it hurts nor how many. Imho.
Denying a baby life saving treatment after it’s born. I can’t believe people don’t want to hear about this. This should be reminded to everyone everyday between now and the election.
Ah yes, the same old same old every election season. Leftist propaganda bots race around here pretending to be “uber conservative” while doing nothing but trash talking the GOP on every thread critical of their Democrat candidates.
Your posting history betrays you. Either you are a Leftist pretending to be conservative or you are a useful idiot for the Democrat propaganda machine.
Which is it?
You caught me. I’m a leftist propagandist who has been posting hardcore conservative views here for twelve years just so I could undermine the real conservative, Romney, this year with one sarcastic remark. I don’t know how you figured it out.
Truly extremist in the most murderous of ways.
I remember when some people tried to pin Obama in '08 on his partial abortion actions as an IL State Senator and got nowhere. The MSM considered his views a blip and refused to tell the public how extremist he is.
Obama was solely responsible for not letting the ban reach the Illinois senate floor. He is a truly evil person.
