My point is that Akin is damaging the pro life cause. He cannot win and he will give McCaskill, an abortion queen of the first order, another six years in the Senate. My other point is that some in the pro life movement are not all that they seem. They cloak themselves in the rhetoric, but they are really in it for themselves. This is true for any issue or cause, you have to be able to recognize the type and respond accordingly. Those types rely on the naive and unsuspecting to sustain their little scams.
no point arguing with fanatics who believe in the magic uterus. these clowns make normal lifers seem like pitchfork wielding yokels.
This race brings to mind a quote by Richard Nixon. In the fall of 1963, South Vietnam's president Ngo Dinh Diem was under fire in the Western press as his government faced an impending coup. Nixon remarked that the issue was not Diem and someone better but Diem and someone worse--and he was right.
At this point, the issue for Republicans is not Akin and someone better but Akin and someone worse. I don't follow Missouri politics, but I can't think of a candidate better than Akin who can ride in on his white horse and save the day for the GOP.
