You nailed it right there. This guy really doesn't GET IT.
There was a research paper published back in 1999 (I think) that did say exactly what Akin said, so he thought he was giving correct information. Turns out the study was wrong, but he didn’t know that.
I do think it’s an uproar over nothing, but it’s a very damaging situation. I don’t know if he can survive it, but I understand why he wants to try.
The U.S. Senate is all about speeches and debating... he is obviously over his head when he cannot coherently speak about an issue that he claims to care for so much!! The other side will use him endlessly until the election :(
He is certified STUPID and IDIOT.
Oh he gets it...he just believes its his providential calling to stay in this election on the basis of his “principles”
He really comes off that way
I’m gonna send Akin a check. I hope he stays in.
LOLing the keywords.
listening to him live and he is stupid than I thought. He will give McCaskil the election.
Well, now we know why McCaskill and the Democrats put 2 million bucks into the GOP primary to get Akin as their opponent.
Rep. Akins is so full of himself. He just does not care.
Hannity, usually quick to point out he is not a Republican but a Conservative, is now pulling the Establishment Republican....’Akin, you better do what the RINOS want or we will lose everything’...Akin needs to stay in, stay conservative, and admit only that he inartfully used the word legitimate....the dems jumped on it and seized it, and now....the RINOs are dancing to the liberals tune. Stay in Akin, and win the state. Don’t apologize anymore. You have apologized for misusing a word,...move on...when asked, just tell them you have addressed that question. Stay in and win Missouri.
“I understand why he wants to try.”
He’s been trying for 2 days and all he’s done is make things worse. It is time for him to throw in the towel.
And the IDIOT stepped right onto that third rail.
LOOK, purist zealot, the idea is to convince the center, the moderate Republicans and Reagan Democrats to vote for our side.
You don’t do it by going out there and getting played like a Steinway.
And face it...this election is about jobs and the economy, NOT abortion or who’s zoomin’ who.
Do you want to win or not?
Did you listen to him? DO you *really* want him to stay in????
He seems quite oblivious to the fact that it was his "the female body has ways" statement that brought this sh1t-storm down on him.
I've noticed that some of his most vocal supporters on FR seem to have a similar blind spot. Is the "no conception from rape" theory some kind of Creation Science for fundamentalist pro-lifers?
I'm so damned angry with throwbacks like Akin and King right now. You stupid, stupid b*stards.
Damn - keep missing his interviews... Gotta hear what this guy sounds like firsthand.
I hate to play it this way, but the GOP needs to play hardball with his staffers. In as indirect way as possible, suggest to them that they have no future in the GOP if they stick with him He needs to be isolated both financially and from any type of support.
