>> About what. From what I hear he's been on the offensive taking on obama's policies and those that endorse them. What more would you have him do?
> It was a major foul up statement but it is the past.
>> It was a 'major foul up? Are you kidding me? It is only a major deal because you're making it so. It doesn't come close to being the "foul up" of not vetting obama. So many rinos are running around bashing Akin for one little misspeak and not saying squat about what obama is doing to our country. People that are being so easily distracted by the left's propaganda shouldn't be allowed to vote. My opinion.
> I am still pissed at him simply because it played right into the left’s hands and gave them the Macacca moment of the campaign.
>> You cannot be serious. You are not going to support Akin because he is pro-life? Are you also going to blame him for all the woes this country has been suffering during obama's tenure as Der Fuhrer?
Praise be to God we have one more "real" Conservative with the character to stand up for good Godly principles. We need 534 more just like him if you ask me.
It has nothing to do with him being pro-life. It is about marketing. His statement was stupid and it played into the ‘war on women’ narrative. Worse was how he handled it. He could have taken an aggressive approach after he made that err and not only apologized, but gone on the offense with the media ignoring worse statements by Dems such as Biden and Frankin but also pointing out that he is the one for saving a life versus murdering the baby due to the rape.
It was poor PR and changed the discourse of the campaign. There is no denying it. It isn’t just about being right on the issue, it is also about being able to control your mouth and win people over to your side.
