Because the conservative and GOP movement is letting them. Simple response is for the both the GOP and the Conservative movement to quit obsessing about Akin and get back on message”
I think you have that backwards. The Dems nationally have made Akin the issue because he is in their rhetorical War on Women wheelhouse designed to distract from the economy and the Republicans nationally are forced on the defensive. Do you think the Dems are going to let go of this gift Akin has handed them?
Yes, because like many in the GOP/Conservative movement you need to stop focusing on what they are doing to us and start focusing on what we are going to do to them
You are letting them distract you, stop it.
