people in echo chambers think everyone agrees. they don’t realize that the 2-3% that believe in the magic uterus , that think pregnant rape victims are liars can win an election.
Instead of discussing how Politically inept Akin has shown himself to be, we have people here using statistics in an effort to prove the idiotic unnecessary comments he made are “technically” true. They aren't, but I digress.
People don't care about whether Akin had a point, the Voters really don't care. Akin sounds like a Nut with his RAPE theory, and most people don't Vote for Nuts. (well, not Republican Nuts anyway)
All they know is Akin attached RAPE to the PRO LIFE position and he lost. He has damaged the Pro Life cause and he doesn't even see it.
This topic wasn't a blip on the Radar, now it will be a noose around every Republican Candidate's neck. It isn't fair, but it's the world we live in.
I'm not in an echo chamber. I'm in Pennsylvania near Philadelphia and hear people singing the praises of Obama and Obamacare every day. When you mention you're Republican or believe in a conservative position here, people just stare at you, totally confused and don't know what to say.
And talk about people not realizing stuff. You're not going to win anyone over by claiming Akin said pregnant rape victims are liars. That's a false smear, utterly absurd, and sounds like a talking point you picked up off of the Rachel Maddow show. He said NOTHING REMOTELY even close to that.
