“we do not shoot our wounded. if gaffes excludes you, why is biden still vp?”

You don’t even have to look that far. The issue Akin spoke on is a relatively minor one. He did not say he would vote to retain ObummerCare, did not say he would vote for trillion dollar deficits, did not say he would vote to confirm leftist judges, etc. Yet he was lambasted and hounded by his own party elites. Meanwhile, Romney keeps saying he is proud of RomneyCare and sees a lot he likes about ObummerCare. Romney’s statements are 1,000 times more anathema to conservatives than anything 97+ ACU rated Akin has ever said. But I did not hear Preibus, Rove, et al. demanding Romney step aside.

He never made any such statement.

Right - the issue of rape is "very minor."
