“This is highly offensive. I hope he steps down. We have to have this seat.”

What a bunch of weaklings we have in our midst. Ready to fold like cheap tents the first time the smallest zephyr comes through.
Akin misspoke and he has already quickly apologized. He meant to address the issue of pregnancies resulting from forced rapes as contrasted with pregnancies resulting from statutory (but “consensual”) rapes. Pregnancies from the former are relatively rare but from the latter not at all rare. He should stay away from the abortion issue as much as possible.
In any case, he needs to focus his campaign on economic issues and the McCaskill/Obama record of non accomplishment.
Unfortunately, his un-artful choice of subjects/words can be used against him if he and his campaign are not more careful. And they will be used against him not least by those in this forum who just may secretly hope that McCaskill is reelected. Come on folks, you know you’re here and we know (by their works ye shall know them) you’re here.
Let’s not join the liberals’, the mainstream media’s and their useful idiots’ lynching parties! Let’s not form into circular firing squads.
Akin has already provided his firing squad with more than enough ammo. It’s over for him. You’ve got to know when to fold ‘em. Bob
“Unfortunately, his un-artful choice of subjects/words can be used against him if he and his campaign are not more careful.”
Yeah, I think I could see that possibly happening.
*sigh*
THis isn’t small. This is HUGE and without excuse. I don’t want this pea brain anywhere near the Tea Party.
I am sorry, but a gaffe of this magnitude shows we have a real moron on our hands, and people like this DO NOT LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES.
He will repeat gaffes in the future, possibly EVEN WORSE.
