Akin made a campaign error blown out of proportion by his enemies in both parties. But the people of MO nearly always get it wrong. They thought Harry Truman was wonderful too.
That’s exactly it. Blown ALL out of proportion. His record was fairly solid on conservative issues. Romney’s was anything but.
But SOMEHOW we had to kill off the conservative and elect 2 liberals to promote conservatism. And when one of the Akin hate squad presents a logical argument for that I’m all ears.
Of course there IS NO LOGICAL argument for that. But there are still lots of people trying to self-justify for their ... actions.
