"Conservatives will vote for Akin, even if they think that his remarks were wrong and politically stupid."

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.

Akin has done inestimable harm to the pro-Life cause and to everyone who has devoted their life to that cause. He’s undone decades of progress towards the pro-life cause.

I can tell you the footsoldiers on the pro-Life front line (the people who actually put themselves out there for the cause) are not happy with Akin and want him GONE. They certainly do not want him as a pro-Life spokesperson.

Where did you ever get the idea that I believe that he is wrong in his condemnation of abortion? But, your misconception is certainly where this debate has gone. The religious right believes that they must support Akin and that support equates to support for the pro life position. Wrong!

Akin is pig headedly doing more to support the advancement of a pro abortion agenda than you can imagine. McCaskill is an abortion queen and her reelection will advance their cause immeasurably. Six more years of her vile behavior is what you will get.

This is simply about the cold, hard reality that Akin cannot win this race. Please check back with me in November and let me know how it turned out.
