As a Congressman for 12 years, this wasn't his first impression to a lot of Missourians.
He's not dropping out so it's time for Republicans to give him a second chance and vote for the lesser of two evils, Anybody But McCaskill. If Akin flip-flops on the rape issue that still won't make him 2% the flip-flopper that Romney is.
Please, he held a safe seat for 12 years, and most Missourians(and Americans in whole) do not even know who their congressman is. Just look at those famous Jay Leno and Sean Hannity interviews.
Face it, Akin said stupid things and the liberal media pounced on it.
Just think if Akin used his brain, and said that the baby should not be killed because of the sin of the father, rather than going into such things as "legitimate rape".
He wouldn't have gone from a lead to a 9 point deficit.
How come republicans always end up voting for the lesser of 2 evils, while democrats get to vote for the candidate of their choice?
Well I have to say Jedi, that you are not helping his cause...accusing good conservatives on this site of being rinos,homosexuals, illegal drug users , and all manner of libelous crap, just because your man Akin’s screw up has scared the ever living daylights out of everybody that understands the stakes and political realities for this country if we do not win the senate.
In fact, I would say you are a lead weight for Akin’ s side at this point with your vitriol. You are starting to resemble the famous shakedown antics of Jesse Jackson.
Take a break, breathe deep, pray and go after the real enemies of this republic and give your fellow patriots a break.
