But, remember, how people on this board excoriated Rick Santorum when he said in 2011 or 2012 that we sometimes “have to take one for the team.”

But, remember, how people on this board excoriated Rick Santorum when he said in 2011 or 2012 that we sometimes “have to take one for the team.”

Those are the same FReepers who sadly do not live in the real world, where words mean things, actions have consequences and voters do not select candidates purely on principle but have to be carefully wooed and won. Sometimes in the real world the biggest hero is the person who is willing to throw himself on the grenade to save his friends.

Akin is no hero.
