The sky in the world in which I live is blue. I recognize political reality and what is possible to accomplish. None of the things that you believe are important to this nation will happen if Obama is elected. With Romney, some of the things will happen. We are unfortunately stuck with him. Let’s try to change him. We can never change Obama.
Most of us are able to recognize the political reality of the damage Akin has done to himself, the pro-life cause, and the chances of taking back the Senate. Supporting him surely leads to the victory of a pro-abort. That means more babies die, not fewer. That is something you do not want but it is the result if Akin stays in the race. Please be intellectually honest enough to admit he has blown it and will not beat McCasKILL. Other pro-life Republicans can beat her. But an intransigent, selfish, and arrogant man stands in the way.
The purpose of a political race is to win. If you don’t, the other side gets to set all the policy. Unfortunately, sometimes there are compromises in order to win. Take the victory and use the influence you can have with your side to try to make the changes you want.
Someone who always stands on principle would have never gotten in bed with Stalin in WW II. Of course, had we not done that, we would not be having this free discussion.
