Yes, I was kind of WTF when I read about that, too. However, I think Akin was simply differentiating between actual rape and consensual sex reported as a rape by a regretful woman.

Please let me know if there is someone capable who can replace Akin. As I recall, in the 2004 U.S. Senate race in Illinois, GOP candidate Jack Ryan had to bow out due to a scandal, and his replacement lost to a Democrat state senator. If you think about this unfortunate event, you’ll realize what a world of hurt we’re in because Ryan’s replacement was so inept.

Your interpretation is one of more than a dozen (maybe even two dozen) interpretations by Freepers on what the guy said. Nobody really knows what he was trying to say, including himself. When he tried to explain it on Hannity, it was more confusing and convoluted than the original statements.

Nobody gets what he's trying to say. He has to go.
