Exclusive: Janet Porter joins pro-life leaders as they stand with Rep. Todd Akin
Want to know why the Republican Party is in such trouble? I believe it comes down to one word: courage.
When Democrats misspeak, we make them vice president. When Republicans misspeak, Republicans are the first in line to throw them under the bus.
When Rep. Todd Akin stood for protecting all innocent human life in a recent interview, he used a word with more than one meaning. He used the word “legitimate” before the word “rape” to mean “real,” “forcible,” a tragic event that “really took place.” Anyone who doesn’t think false claims of rape can be made should check with Norma McCorvey, the “Roe” of Roe v. Wade. The infamous abortion case, based on her false rape claim, has resulted in the deaths of 55 million innocent human lives.
But because “legitimate” could also modify the word rape, some in the Republican Party are practically writing Willie Horton ads about it, pretending that the congressman is “pro-rape” and wants to let rapists out on furlough. This “interpretation” of the congressman’s words doesn’t resemble reality, and everyone knows it.
If Republicans love their country, they will quit using fiction to shoot their own and focus on the real enemies of life: Democrats Claire McCaskill and Barack Obama, who stand for legally sucking the brains out of half-born babies in a procedure called partial-birth abortion.
In America, we shouldn’t kill people for the crimes of their father. And in politics, we shouldn’t kill statesmen for a badly worded sound bite.
Thankfully, there are men and women of courage who stand with Rep. Akin, beginning with the founder of National and International Right to Life, Dr. Jack Willke, who said:
“Congressman Todd Akin remains a strong and courageous

A time for choosing.
Stand with a man who said something stupid but means very well or stand with someone who supports abortion.
IBT ‘run in circles scream & shout’ crowd.
He lost the election with his stupid comment. If he really cared about anything but himself he would have withdrawn and made way for available candidate.
Make that a VIABLE candidate.
No - a REAL test of courage would be whether the Party is willing to dump Romney and replace him with a real conservative.

Akin poisoned his chances... he’s not going to win. If he has a modicum of love for America, he’ll override his own ego and step aside.
But he won’t. He’s enjoying the attention too much.
“Stand with a man who said something stupid but means very well or stand with someone who supports abortion.”
How about his replacement that isnt a moron?
I don't see why it has to be either or. There are plenty of other Missouri Republicans who are pro-life, replace Akin with one of them. That way we get someone who is both pro-life AND not stupid.
The endless measure of conservative stupidity just astounds me.
The only way Obama is going to be defeated in November is if Jesus comes down here and defeats him Himself, because the only pepople republicans can defeat is themselves.
If you want to replace Romney with a real conservative, champ, then replace him with Akin.
Oh wait...
Alas, I read his statement over and over and without the screaming from the press and (moderate) republicans I just can't see why there is such ado because of it.
The guy has a VERY impressive voting record as a conservative.
Legitimate rape means something different to the Demobrat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) -- and the convention will feature women Bill Clinton raped..
examples of legitimate rape..
apparently legitimate in the sense of "being in accordance with established or accepted patterns and standards" of the Demobrat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party), the MSM, universities, Hollywood, NGOs, U.N., civil rights industry, much of the ruling class, the "nonpartisan" radio and TV, transnationals, and all the Right People.
Also to show religion compassion and understanding the convention will feature Islamist "temporary marriages" that are also in accordance with established or accepted patterns and standards of the aforementioned pukes.

Todd Akin has fallen behind Sen. Claire McCaskill by double digits in the Missouri Senate race, according to a Rasmussen automated phone poll released Thursday.
The survey taken Wednesday shows McCaskill leading Akin, 48 percent to 38 percent, among 500 likely Missouri voters. Nine percent preferred another candidate, and 5 percent were undecided.
And THAT, my FRiend, is the *real* test of courage. Will conservatives and Republicans ever get serious about running the MSM blockade and start bringing this message to the people - airing the Democrats' dirty laundry - even if it means the MSM attacks them as "mean-spirited" etc.?
