The problem is if we're talking about "stress infertility" instead of "USA fiscal infertility", we've lost. As long as Akin is around, the press will distract all campaigns with this crap. This is not the issue for our Country in 2012!
Just imagine the questions for Romney at a future POTUS debate, tell us about "legitimate rape". If Akin withdraws, so do the questions.
If Akin weren’t around, the press would come up with something else. For the press to allow an accurate discussion of the economy is impossible.
There’s only one way to fight against the lies, distortions and political correctness of the left. The way to do it is to call them out on their BS and then we take the ball and move it downfield.
Next time a candidate’s words are distorted like this, our response should be to circle the wagons and ratchet up funding and support for the candidate across the board.
That is absurd. Snuffaluppagus didn't need a Republican to do anything before he asked the Repubs if they supported banning birth control back in January. The idea that the libs will not try to smear the Repubs because Akin withdrawals or for any other reason is just ludicrous. The notion of being more afraid of Akin than of the liberal press is absurd.
This! One thousand times over!
The Democrats sure as hell don't want to talk about the faltering economy and lack of jobs and thanks to idiots like Akin, we're not. Every candidate running with an (R) after his name is going to have to field questions about "legitimate rape".
A simple "As my voting record reflects, I'm 100% committed to life. Let's move on." would've been sufficient. It's an answer countless other elected officials have given. But no, Akin stepped in the minefield that McCaskill laid out for him. She certainly got her money's worth.
