He made the idiotic statement and then apologized for it--several times. Did he commit a crime or an indiscretion? Is one verbal gaffe reason to throw your nominee under the bus publicly? The RNC announced they weren't going to fund his campaign if he stayed in. They piled on along with some of Akin's congressional colleagues and George "Maccaca" Allen. The MSM and the Dems have whipped up this hysteria and gullible Reps follow along like mind-numbed robots.

Take a look at Akin's record--97.24 lifetime ACU rating--and his exemplary personal life. A good Christian, father of six with two sons in the USMC.

I hope Akin stays in and wins. He needs our support, not our disdain.

“He made the idiotic statement and then apologized for it—several times”

You apologize for meaness, or deliberate things, not being dense. If he said the moon was made of green cheese, but apologized, does that make it all better? No, it means he’s a NICE moron.
