[Just mythoughts]

What Akin said was plain stupid. Akin needed those so called independents to beat Claire. And IF all that got reported, and played over and over, was ‘legitimate rape’, rightfully or wrongly painted him as a lunatic cave man. I live in MO and I still voted for the idiot, but, hello.

I remember that. That was a stupid comment. I don't get some of these politicians when they are being interviewed by the liberal press. The liberal press has an agenda and it seems a lot of Republicans get caught making really stupid comments. When it comes to abortion, why can't they just state they are Pro Life and move on. No need to get into the hypothetical what if scenarios. Unfortunately abortion is legal and a Senator/Representative will have no power to change that, at least with the current SCOTUS make up. So just stay away from the issue or at least stop trying to dance around the what if scenarios to appease a certain audience....
