Nothing I say will satisfy your inquisition.

Since you brought up Sarah Palin....were you aware that she did not support Akin in the primary?

Instead, she came to Missouri and campaigned for Sarah Steelman. I voted for Steelman because of that support. It turned out Sarah Palin was right in her choice. I doubt we would be having this controversy if Steelman had won.

Then, after Akins blunder, Sarah Palin said he should withdraw. Look it up.

So far, that's all you've said in answer to my question: nothing.

You've parroted the democrat talking heads. You've tried to divert attention with irrelevancies (Palin's support). You've noted Akin is keeping a low profile (as if convincing democrat shills on his own side is a worthwhile endeavor). You've claimed I'm intractable.

The one thing you haven't done is given the requested "substantive reason" why this gaffe is fatal to his electability.

It wasn't theft. It wasn't corruption. It wasn't racism. It wasn't lying. it wasn't influence pedaling.

It also wasn't the "sound byte" being used to "summarize" his remarks.

So what is it?

Sarah’s opinion is her own. She’s only human and not always right. Indeed, I did follow her recommendation and voted for Steelman. However Steelman did not win and Akin did. I will be voting for Akin. I don’t give a rat’s ass what the Democrats (or you) have to say about this.

The Republican Party response has struck me as cowardly and beneath contempt.
