Dr. Dobson is confused. This has nothing to do with Congressman Akin’s political views, nor with his overall decency. This has do with some very ill advised remarks that he made that have placed him in the unelectable category.
Conservatives will vote for Akin, even if they think that his remarks were wrong and politically stupid. Republicans only enjoy a 2.3% advantage over Democrats in Missouri and that includes Republican leaning independents. Akin is going to take a bigger hit than that from true independents and from women on election day. He can’t win. His foolish behavior will likely cause us to fail in our efforts to win control of the Senate.
He can’t win
.....well, he sure can’t win with the likes of you and KSGirl in the mix. Too bad you can’t be enough of a Repub or freedom lover to support a conservative who didn’t say anything wrong unless you’re a metrosexual mainstream media puke that attacks any conservative...and that includes Pudgeboy Rove and Fat Haley... with Repubs like you guys DemRats don’t have to work very hard, just propogandize you folks with boobbait for the bubbas. congrats on backing the wrong team!
ymmv
Nonsense.
Recent polls put him about even with Clarabelle. That's better than most of the GOP Senate candidates that the NRSC and Rove PACs will spend millions on knowing in advance that they are the really lost causes. The GOPe are just stuck on stupid and stubborn.
His remarks regarding legalized murder of unborn babies may be politically stupid and may prove to be suicidal to his chances of retaking the Senate, but he is certainly not wrong in his condemnation of legalized child murder. I don't know much about either his political or moral principles, but if he is sincere in what he said I would not desert him even though he may be politically incorrect and incapable of winning a Senate seat.
Although I realize that retaking the Senate would go a long way toward ameliorating the disastrous results of another Obama term in the White House, and that Akin's political gaffe may be our downfall in re the open Senate seat, but I can't in good conscience condemn him for speaking the truth on what I believe to be the most important issue in regard to the continued existence of our nation. I'm afraid that Roe v Wade may have already earned for our formerly God-fearing nation the wrath of Him who according to His infallible Word both establishes and disestablishes governments and rulers.
