Just because one is a Christian does not mean you will be a good politician or even a good candidate.
I do not want someone running who is sooooo ego driven that he cannot understand a death inducing gaffe when he makes it. Politics may indeed be a dirty game but when one’s ego says I am the only one who can properly convey the message then you are so out of bounds as to be not useful.
Aiken’s loss was self induced and he was too ignorant to see it
This is the reason young men won’t follow you. You never say anything that is not politically correct. You all are knee-jerk enforcers for the wrong side.
“Political Correctness is Marxism, with all that implies: loss of freedom of expression, thought control, inversion of the traditional social order and, ultimately, a totalitarian state.”
I live in Missouri. There is no one more more upset than I was by Akin's words to a known liberal reporter. Akin's words were recorded and no apology was going to unring that bell. The haughty Coulter/Rove Romney of the GOP-e sure would not let those words leave a ring around their collars.
But I could make the same case about Romney. While I voted for his ticket, strange is it not after all the money he spent in Florida bashing Newt in the primaries, he was rejected by the voters of Florida.... Romney never used his wins in the primaries strategy against liberals. Some things just will not go unrewarded.
