“Worst of all is the Republican Party’s unified acquiescence to this illogical, unjust and amoral equivalence. In fact, without the GOP’s lockstep, take-me-to-your-leader obedience to the Democrats’ rigged rules, the pitch of this controversy would have died down already. Without the Republicans’ vigorous enforcement of the left’s double standards, Akin would probably still be facing favorable odds of winning the Missouri Senate seat. “
More stupidity. Apparently, if we ignore something, it will go away.
Never mind the fact that MSNBC, the DNC, and Team Obama will play up whatever they want to play up. Never mind that if Republicans didnt respond, the ‘silence is consent’ rule would prevail, and the whole Republican party would be complicit in his comments.
Yes, but the conservative punditry is the one keeping this issue alive with their daily ranting about it.
That is stupid and self defeating. The Conservative/GOP movement is fracturing it own base in MO for NOTHING. Rather then getting back on message the GOP machine seems bound and determined to keep picking at the scab to keep the Akin wound open.
Stupid move politically
