“Just make sure they’re not evangelical wackadoos who think the earth is 6000 years old or that a woman’s uterus magically shuts down when she’s raped. A few more of these clowns and we can kiss conservatism goodbye.”
The GOP Establishment sandbagged Todd Akin. Todd Akin said something inarticulately, and rather than focusing on Sen. McCaskell, the GOP pounced on Akin. If the GOP Establishment had supported Todd Akin, he would have won. But that’s my point - the GOP Establishment would rather lose than have genuine conservatives in positions of power.
Concerning the reference to the age of the Earth - millions of genuine conservatives have a Bible-based understanding of the world. Pols like Rubio who foolishly disrespect millions of Bible-believing genuine conservatives do so at their own political peril.
Rush juxtaposed the answer obama gave to a similar question with Rubio's, though they used different words they essentially said the same thing.
The only difference that we're seeing now is the reaction to each one because of who said it.
Rubio's answer was just fine, now his stance on immigration is another thing.
You just disrespected those of us who think the “age of the Earth” is a very, very stupid question that does not impact deficits, spending, defense or any other important issue.
