Ok then. To quantify the idiocy of the statement, I give it a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I hope that is helpful to you for me to reduce it to a number.

Did you even watch the video? The only idiocy here is yours!

You pose like he was making a catagorical statement when what he was doing was (rather diffidently I might add) trying to dissuade from making "rape" the trump card justifying abortion.

And then people like you have the unmitigated gall to accuse him of harming the pro-life cause by staying in the race.

If the guy was advocating burkas or chastity belts you might be justified, but as it is you're just carrying water for team McCaskill.

His argument was idiotic and based on ignorance.

One need not, and is idiotic, to suggest that people born of rape are so rare, while inventing a biological mechanism to prevent it, that one need not deal with the issue.

All that needs to be said is that punishing a child for the crimes of the father is an outdated and barbaric practice.

But Akin had to be an idiot. And now his wife on the campaign payroll has to talk about rape? She is a moron. As is he for hiring her.

So support him. I am not trying to stop you. Campaign donations to Akin go to pay his wife and son and they apparently need the money. So pay up!
