They could explain it until they're blue in the face, but if the media ignores the explanation and Democrats want to exploit it, what good does it do?

So what you are saying is that Political Correctness trumps the Truth.

That is a reality. But is anyone willing to stand up and speak the truth? Or are we all going to cower in the corner and hope that the democrats play nice with Akin's replacement?

I'm all in for Akin. He committed the cardinal sin of not being politically correct. For that sin most of the Freepers here are ready to hang him.

Sad. The fact of the matter is that Akin is one of the most solid conservatives in Washington. But he gets no pass from Freepers who would prefer another Olympia Snowe to Akin. I don't recognize this forum anymore. We all stood up for Sarah Palin when she blew her interview with Katie Couric but Sarah Palin didn't bother to wait even 24 hours before throwing Akin under the bus.

It appears that too many conservatives are cowards. That is why Romney is the nominee. We were so afraid that Newt or Bachmann or Santorum would lose to Obama that we threw in with the RINO with the colored hair and the used car salesman smile.

We will get the government we deserve come November. It is not going to be pretty.

We will not be victorious because we don't seek victory, we seek appeasement.

We will get an unprincipled government because we don't honor principles.

"He committed the cardinal sin of not being politically correct."

You have gotta be kidding me. He committed the cardinal sin of being a moron. No conservative, no matter how strong in their beliefs or how principled they are, can escape being a moron. Its not that he said something that wasn't PC, he said something was in absolute la-la land, that made it sound like he had an 8 year old's understanding of female reproduction.

Rather than help the pro-life movement, he's weakened it, allowing people to ridicule pro-life beliefs by linking them to his ridiculous and indefensible comments.

"The woman's body has a way of shutting that whole thing down."

I guarantee you this man either slept through or never took a single anatomy class in his entire life.

“He committed the cardinal sin of not being politically correct.”

No, that’s wrong. He actually committed two sins...

One is the incredible inability to sniff out a hostile question and respond to it accordingly. That alone makes his candidacy incredibly suspect.

The last is that he has about a 7th graders knowledge of anatomy and sexual reproduction.

Yep -- She was still angry in that interview over her candidate's loss in the Missouri Senatorial primary -- and it showed.
