To: Evil Slayer

He’s very lucky he made his dumb remark back in August. Gives people an opportunity to react and then have second thoughts.

As opposed to the Benghazi cover-up, which is just now coming out in the MSM. Very bad timing for O.

FWIW, I had also read the bit about rape victims being less likely to get pregnant. Researched it and found out it is apparently just not true.

I also believe his poor choice of wording about “legitimate rape” was meant to convey approximately the same idea as Whoopi’s “rape rape.” That is, forcible rape as opposed to statutory rape, which were valid distinctions for the point each was trying to make. Though in Whoopi’s case an irrelevant point, since the rape at issue was forcible.

Actually, it is true if you adjust for age and birth control use. But it was still a stupid comment. Nonetheless, a good bumper sticker slogan would be:

Akin: Because one stupid comment doesn't erase six years of stupid votes.

Very true. If that comment was made with only one month remaining, he would have had no chance.

I hope he comes all the way back and wins handily.

I think Romney coattails will help him.
