My guess is the ad buys are in essence an extended apology to try to stay politically viable in the future.

He's burning his bridges by refusing to take phone calls from the RNC.

LOL, of course you think that beandog, you’re in the oh...about 3% left who still think that Akin wasn’t wrong to say what he did, doesn’t speak too highly of your mental capacity and overall judgment.

Check the dates on the polling...guessing that many of the calls were made before Akin made his idiotic comments on Sunday morning. There is at least one other poll which indicates 50% of Missouri voters believe he should go...I’m with them; if Akin remains in the race, he’s toast, and McCaskill wins re-election. Give her a second term, and you’ve got another Patty Murray in the Senate; a feckless Dim who will occupy the seat until she dies...and you can just write off our chances of re-taking the Senate, too.

Quite a price to pay for Todd Akin’s ego....

“Watch the Presidential polling for Missouri and see what happens, as well”

What will? Nothing. Or at best some dope will pretend that they hate Romney all of a sudden, for some reason no be can ascertain, and in three weeks they will be back to where they were before.

Akins premise on rape pregnancy is a scientific fact. Women under trauma do not ovulate. Here is a very good source http://www.abortionfacts.com/online_books/love_them_both/why_cant_we_love_them_both_29.asp

Now the word “legitimate “ was a mistake. How about revealing the name of the Pakistani Doctor you aided Leon Panetta in directing the killing of the bastard Bin Laden? This resulted directly in a 30 year prison sentence for this hero!!! How about “He is articulate and CLEAN”!From Biden Refering to the first part Negro President or “you have to have an Indian accent to go in a 7 11 here”!! or Ya’ll in chains”

I am sick of the double standard and I am sick of gutless republicrats that run under a rock over words!! What the hell happened to free speech??

Hang in there Aikin. !! Who cares what the Democrats talk about. They sure won’t talk about the economy!!!

“look Akin, you don’t have to go home but you gotta get up on outta here.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

LOL!!! Sounds like what Moe Sizlack (Simpson’s bartender) would say! I like it...can I borrow it?

Another quote to Akin: “Don’t leave angry, just leave.”

Everyone on Free Republic that claims Todd Akin should still run - and that he will still win....

Should now promise to drink a gallon of anti-freeze if Akins runs - and loses

Otherwise - all of your words are bullshirt

I have no doubt that my mental capacity and overall judgment far exceeds yours. I’m smart enough to not trust you. I think you’re a little weasel. I’m also not big on mob mentality.

I love people who pull statistics out of their behind, commenting on other peoples mental capacity and overall judgment.

It is not scientific fact and the fact that you and he would promote this nonsense makes both of you scientific morons.

Did you not understand what he meant? You seem smart to me so I don’t understand your confusion.

I absolutely understand what he meant. It was plain stupid. Sorry, he's got to go. No amount of backtracking is going to help.

“I’m also not big on mob mentality.”

Really, because you exhibit those authoritarian tendencies oh so well. “Anyone who doesn’t agree with me is RINO” doesn’t get too far away from “we need a purging/cleaning of this place of anyone who thinks differently.”

Combine that with your tendency to say ridiculous things and my name for you is now Beandog Biden.

A scientific fact? Are you for real? Is this why studies show that women have about a 5% chance of getting pregnant via rape and that we have roughly about 20,000+ women a year that end up pregnant as a result of rape.

Even in a forced rape, if the woman is at a fertile time in her calender, if the rapist ejaculates inside her, the semen will reach an egg, it will get fertilized and she will get pregnant. Pregnancy during rape is rare because well....getting pregnant isn’t necessarily that easy in the first place, but to say it doesn’t happen.....wow.

Or wait, do you believe like Akin that there’s some magic sperm goalkeeper that the woman unleashes that keeps them outta there?

Excuse me, but Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association understands that Rep. Akin’s statements about legitimate rate are in fact legitimate.

Let’s say you own a business. You have an employee who is loyal and believes in your business 110%. But he is also not very smart and prone to saying totally dumb things for no discernable reason.

Do you send this employee to represent you to get a big contract or new client?

Akin does not help conservatism and does not help the pro-Life cause. No matter how sincere he is about both causes he is a severe liability to both.

No, Akin’s premise is NOT a fact. Women’s bodies do not magically shut down during rape. Even Akin has attempted to take back that assertion. You are attempting to defend junk science that even Akin recognizes now was idiotic. All through history are examples of conquering armies raping their way though the territory of vanquished foes leaving huge numbers of pregnant women in their wake. Just 65 years ago or so the victorious Soviet army raped tens of thousands of German women - massive numbers of whom got pregnant. You sound as ridiculous as Akin claiming this half baked wives tale is serious science.

“Fischer has an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Stanford University, and holds a graduate degree in theology from Dallas Theological Seminary.”

He sounds well-qualified to give his thoughts on a medical issue. Clearly we should ignore all those kooky doctors and medical studies now. If this guy was a liberal you’d be berating him for majoring in BS subjects.
