Thank you. Sorry for the misstatement. That’s still long enough to prove his consistency.
No need to apologize. I just thought you’d want to be accurate if you repeat the information elsewhere.
Interestingly, Rush’s first day reaction was to state that Akin was probably one of those people who only talk to like-minded people and are lost when they run into other opinions. From that I took it that Akin was new at politics.
Even a day or so later, Rush was casting about trying to figure out where Akin had served six terms, and he decided that it must have been in the Missouri assembly, rather than in Congress, but by that time I’d checked and knew he’d served six terms in Congress.
Had Rush known that initially, maybe it would have influenced his opinion some, one way or another? Certainly a 12-year Congressman is no neophyte, so maybe he’s actually had serious policy discussions about the subject at hand, which was the pro-life position where rape is involved.
