I cannot understand how the GOP lets them get away with the crap they get away with. The Akin story, for instance. Akin was not very savvy for using the terms he used, or for letting the other side suck him into debating a point that he could have brushed aside, but the GOP response should have included pointing out that the extremists on the abortion issue are all on the left - including Obama who voted to maintain partial birth abortion. Then, if I were the GOP, I would have surrogates (untraceable to Mitt or any specific candidate) out showing pictures of what partial birth abortion looks like - and saying “who are the extremists”? Then, I would point out the incredible abortion rate in the black community, and ask why promoting the continuation of the killing of black babies isn't racism.
Hit them back. Hit them hard. Speak over them. Make them pay a price for their antics. If someone knows they can keep punching at you, without fear that they are going to get punched back, they will not hesitate to keep throwing punches.
We could have done all those things if Akin had quietly taken himself out of the picture so that the Dems would be deprived of their sound bite. The GOP adopted a good anti-abortion plank this year, but Akin’s behavior (and the fact that even now he can’t seem to shut up) has completely obscured this and moved it outside of rational discussion.
It's uncommon for the American sheeple to elect a regime this crass, thuggish and with no respect for traditional courtesies.
Let them play the race card. We should respond by labeling child abusers and child molesters. Drilling a hole in a baby’s skull and sucking out its brain is the ultimate child abuse. Not content with that, they burn the baby.
