Love your homepage and views. That having been said, calling FReepers with a different point of view “Freeper Surrender Monkeys”, along with the visual of them being an infestation for expressing differing views, is quite beneath you.
Todd Akin had two opportunities on Hannity to get his story straight. I kept waiting for him to explain what he meant, but he failed to adequately do it. Had he said that he was trying to differentiate between a legitimate “claim” of rape and a false claim of rape, people would have understood. He and his advisers, his wife and son, had plenty of time to think of that answer. But they were incapable of doing so. The negative impact would have been significantly less. Standing up to a-hole Piers Morgan would have had us cheering. But he was incapable of doing so. How he would have gotten around the biology problem, I do not know.
I don’t remember a drop like he has had since it was learned that Thomas Eagleton had received electro-shock therapy.
Akin’s biggest problem is Akin and his hubris.
In terms of political reality, for those thinking with their heads instead of their hearts, here is where we are:
- Todd Akin has fallen like a rock and cannot climb back
- he is still in denial and believes he can win; he cannot
- he will have very little money to spend to fight McCasKILL
- he is not the only pro-life conservative Republican in the state of Missouri who can carry on the fight
- if he withdrew, the seat can still be won
- he seems to believe he is bigger than the pro-life movement; that only he can carry the torch
- McCasKILL will surely defeat him, and what he professes to support — pro-life — will ironically be harmed because of him
Despite your disdain, this Surrender Monkey, who has been infesting threads here since 1996, will continue to express his opinion.
Akin will be on the ballot with McCaskill. I want McCaskill gone and will continue to support the clear conservative.
