This is so devoid of logic that I don’t know quite how to react. So that is my reaction.

I'll try to simplify it for you : the conservative ABM position is symmetric to the progressive ABO position. What's good for the gander is good for the goose. If Romney is our rascal and we're stuck with him, then it stands to reason that Akin is our rascal and we're stuck with him. It is hypocritical to claim that one must be supported and the other must be sacked. The logic is as simple as the transitive property of mathematics taught in high school. And I do think you are intelligent and do get it, even if you don't want to admit it. Either accept that ABO includes other candidates beyond Romney, or don't be hypocritical in your stance on ABM and refuse candidates beyond Akin.
