TAMPA, Fla. Republican leaders may want to turn the page on Rep. Todd Akins comments about women and rape, but Democrats won't let them.
Phone calls started Monday in 20 congressional districts held by the GOP, linking the incumbent lawmaker to the six-term Missourians suggestion that pregnancy rarely results from legitimate rape. Akin is running for Senate, in a close race against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill

Romney SUPPORTS homosexual leaders,
for our boyscouts. true?
Romney has supported abortion in the past! true?
-
but right now, Romney can win, in a landslide...
however, if he (and people like you!),
keeps showing there is little moral ground difference,
between Obama and Romney,
a lot of social conservatives may still find it impossible
to vote for Romney, and stay home instead.
The LA Times, Politico, etc., would like nothing better,
than to drive a wedge between Romney and conservatives voting their conscience.
...is what you WANT?
because frankly, the person you are helping the most...
with all your many articles and posts about Akin...
putting FALSE quotes in his mouth, etc.,
is McCaskill.
It is simply unrealistic to think that IF Akin dropout that that would be the end of it. Every republican running for Dog Catcher On has denounced his statements, As well they should, However I believe that was is really hurting the Republican party right now isn’t this. It is the lack of unity, They keep pushing for his withdraw. I think a better strategy would be to For the Party to say “Look he said something really stupid, He realizes it he has apologized for it.” “This does not define who he is or his respect for women or his voting record in Congress or his ideas about how to fix this country, Its time we get back to the issues.” If the Party would unify in this manner I think People everywhere could rally around this. But what the party is doing now is Giving a message that they “Eat there own” no mistakes will be tolerated. If it is fair game to go after one for a slip of the tongue Then why not go after Romney For donating to Plan Parenthood or His choice to force Catholics to adopt the Mass health plan?
Yes, people like Sarah Palin.
the person who is beating the dead horse is Todd Akin, through this whole charade he been berating the GOP establishment, and not Claire McCaskill.
If he was truly running a campaign against Claire McCaskill after his stupid remarks, he would be criticizing Claire McCaskill, but it seems that Akin's real enemy is the so called GOP-e, and to the detriment of such things as the repeal of Obamacare.
If the Dems keep this up it’ll eventually reach the point of diminishing returns and be seen as carping.
Smart Republicans will be able to capitalize on that by reframing on why the Dems are so preoccupied with some moron in MO instead of on bread and butter issues like the economy. “I want to talk about Obamas high gasoline prices, and unemployment, why is it my Dem opponent wants to keep talking about Todd Akin?”
What lack of unity? Before Akin made his stupid remarks, he had full support.
Now the question is to you, should we support a Joe Biden gaffe conservative like Todd Akin.
Just to clarify the discussion could you explain why a supposed “conservatives” like yourself is spending all your time here shooting your own side in the back day in and day out instead of doing something useful to defeat O and his progressive fascist followers?
Yes, it certainly is odd, and it certainly stinks of democrat to me.
I hear cookoos singing in the cookooberry tree
///
yes, and i wouldn’t be surprised,
if you also hear voices...
=
but fact is, while certainly women can become pregnant from rape
(especially repeated frequent rape, as in Berlin by the Red Army - instead of a SINGLE violent assault in the USA.
...huffington post types, love to misrepresent statistics),
it has LONG been common knowledge and medical fact, that severe stress can delay a woman’s period, reduce the chance of conception,
AND CAUSE MORE FREQUENT MISCARRIAGES.

...if you are capable of honest research and understanding,
you can easily verify this.
and even the NY TIMES reported, that when PA changed the abortion funding rule, to REQUIRE a law enforcement report of the rape... the number of requests went from 35...
to 3 !!!
...maybe you can figure out why ?
I'm not shooting, just nipping it the bud(as Barney Fife would say).
Akin is not ready for prime time, but if you want a conservative gaffe prone Joe Biden, so be it.
How about this, instead of spending all your time and energy being so worried about things out side your control like Akin, how about you try focusing on things you can effect?
When this issue first broke a week ago Sunday, the Akin backers insisted it’d all be buried after the 3-day news cycle dried up.
Others knew better.
Meanwhile, Todd Akin merrily bops around parts of Missouri, still thinking he’s winning over voters.
They’re laughing AT you, Todd... not WITH you.
>This is 100 percent the fault of the Republicans.
There are no words to describe this delusion.
>The media never would have noticed had it not been for the loud mouth Republicans.
Yeah, the rats would have let slide the best chance they have to keep the Senate seat they were losing until akin opened his ignorant pie hole.
Keep telling yourself that after akin drags the party into the lose column.
Nope.
Think about your answer.
Who do you serve?
WHOM
Hey, I am not the "professional" who says such things as that a woman's reproductive cycle shuts down during rape.
Why I am so wrong as a conservative to dare to criticize Todd Akin for his stupid words.
If the liberals had done the same, we wouldn't have Obama/Biden.
Nope.
Think about your answer.
Who do you serve?
I don't serve professional idiots like you do(aka Todd Akin.)
I serve people who wage political war against Claire McCaskill, not people who wage war against their own party, such as Todd Akin.
And now it is the number one priority in your world to punish Akin for what he said.
And if massaging your ego happens to help O and perpetuate the Democrats propaganda attacks well that is just too bad because salving your bruised ego is WAY more important then anything else
You and Akin are merely different sides of the same ego driven coin.
it has LONG been common knowledge and medical fact, that severe stress can delay a womans period, reduce the chance of conception,
AND CAUSE MORE FREQUENT MISCARRIAGES.
are you a physician or a research scientist?
do you have any data to back up your statement?
what is the anovulatory rate in rape victims?
can you cite any reputable journal?
or medical textbook?
do you understand chronic vs. acute stress
or did you get this from the little house on the prairie one room schoolhouse ?
did you know that hookers cant get pregnant because of stress?
