You appear to be having difficulty thinking this through clearly.
“If Missouri voters would rather vote for Obama and all of his policies that have left this nation in shambles economically, i.e., inimical to their own personal interests and lives, because of a verbal gaffe of a GOP senate candidate, then Missouri and the country deserve the government they get.”
Completely irrelevant. Who cares? The only thing that matters is what happens. And it is potentially not just Missouri voters that are impacted by this debacle. I and anyone not living in Missouri certainly won’t have anything to do with not voting for this fool.
“How stupid are these voters? What impact could Akin’s verbal gaffe have on their personal lives? He apologized and explained what he meant. He committed no crime. He didn’t display his private parts over social media, he didn’t consort with prostitutes; he didn’t have sex with interns in his office; he didn’t leave a women to drown in an overturned car; he didn’t lie under oath; and he didn’t run a homosexual prostitution ring from his house.”
Also completely irrelevant as it relates to choosing a course of action given the current facts on the ground. The bottom line is that Akin has become radioactive. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER IT IS RIGHT, FAIR, UNFAIR, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. Learn to deal with the circumstances you are presented with. You’ll find you will be a much happier person if you do.
“My God, what the Hell did Akin do to deserve such condemnation? He has an exemplary voting record (97.24 lifetime ACU rating and an A+ score from NumbersUSA on immigration,) 24 years in elective office at the state and federal level never losing an election; a devout Christian, a former Army officer, a good family man with 6 children—three of his sons have served in the US Marine Corps with two on active duty.”
One.... more... time. Completely irrelevant - see above.
“I blame the GOP for the current situation. They could have handled the situation much better. They could have disassociated themselves from Akin’s remarks, noted that he has apologized and explained his improper use language; and then said we should move on to address the concerns of Missouri voters on such issues as jobs, the economy, Obamacare, etc. Instead, one day after Akin’s gaffe, they launched into a huge blitzkrieg on Akin. The GOP joined into the MSM manufactured hysteria much to the delight of the Dems. The GOP made it a national issue.”
The GOP handled it exactly correctly. You don’t seem to understand the severity/gravity that many people place on his stupid comment. The polls reflect what you don’t seem to comprehend. And it isn’t the GOP’s reaction that has caused the poll results. It is AKIN who is to blame and the liberal media/democrats for playing it up for all its worth and then some.
Are you a democrat?
Your comments are irrelevant. I have no idea how your response applies to my comments. My point is that if such a verbal gaffe is so powerful that it will lead to the voters of Missouri and the US to vote for Obama and his supporters without regard to Obama's policies that are destroying this country, then we deserve to lose. There has to be some proportionality to the impact of a verbal gaffe and actual policies deterimental to our lives.
You don’t seem to understand the severity/gravity that many people place on his stupid comment.
That is a problem isn't it? You seem to be one of those people who believe the " severity/gravity" of his comment. Let's see what impact it has over the next few weeks after the hysteria has died down. I don't for a minute believe that Akin's comments were that earthshaking. Compared to Obama's policies, they are irrelevant.
