Yes, it`s unfair, but EVERY GOPer should be fully aware that no one on the right ever gets a mulligan for an idiotic, horrendously worded statement, regardless of the intent. It`s the dynamic under which they have to operate, like it or not.
He should`ve kept his response to the question broad, e.g., “I believe in the sanctity of innocent life without exception.” Apparently thinking he was brighter than he is, he tried to apply some “expert opinion,” and with that, sank his chances of winning that election, the GOP`s chances of gaining control of the Senate, and quite possibly Romney`s hopes in Missouri.
If he loves this country more than the desire to boost his own ego, Todd Akin will step aside.

Then the conservative cause is a lost cause if this is how you feel. If you do not want to step up and fight for the cause, then stop being judgmental of other’s. He made a mistake, apologized and is moving on. He is 100% pro-life.
Such is life. *sigh*

Agreed. When these politicians (both sides) try to expand so much in order to sound smart ... they just end up sounding dumb. Keep it simple.

And soon so that a replacement can begin a campaign against the inept Dem candidate.
