I’m not in Missouri, and really don’t know much about Akins other than he is on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee and has a 96% ACU rating. He has a degree in Divinity and worked in the family steel business. Not sure if he made that though - lol.
I found this interesting as well. In 1998 Fay Boozman, a friend of Huckabee, said much the same thing as Akin in his Arkansas senate race against Branch Lincoln. Boozman lost, but, ironically, his brother beat Lincoln in 2010. Guess the folks of Arkansas didn’t hold his brother’s ideas against him. Nor will most sensible folks believe that Akin’s ideas represent all republicans. The economy will decide the presidential race.
Another peculiar twist - Fay Boozman was a medical advisor to a crisis pregnancy center. You just can’t make this stuff up.
I’ve heard Huckabee is defending Akins just like he did Boozman way back when.
Thank you for this info.
But, again, we might know what he said, but the ideas which he intended to convey (obviously botched) still remain obscure. What exactly was he trying to argue?
