I have been posting here since 1999, and I was not aware that saying that women who get pregnant while being raped must have been asking for it was a social conservative position. I must have missed that somewhere...
I don't think that Todd Akin's entire career should be defined by one boneheaded comment, but given that he stepped in, we need to figure the best way to win in this environment. The best way for Akin to win is for Romney to win big in Missouri. The best way for Romney to win big in Missouri is to keep the focus on the economy and foreign policy, and not let this "War on Women" thing get off the ground.

Akin did not come, in any way, near saying “that women who get pregnant while being raped must have been asking for it”. Where in L did you get that idea? From McKaskle?
“I have been posting here since 1999, and I was not aware that saying that women who get pregnant while being raped must have been asking for it was a social conservative position.”
Me neither. Stupid has no political limits, is what that statement showed.
Support Akin, but dont make the mistake of saying this comment wasnt a dumb one. If McCaskill does get re-elected, she can have that comment to thank for it.
You wrote much better than I was able to. I agree with you 100%.
