I have no need to. What I was discussing in the post you have replied to had nothing to do with him or his campaign.
But, since you brought it up, I personally hope Aiken stays in and is not run off because of a mistatement on his part that has been blown whoolly out of proportion IMHO.
The fact that the left is so anvious to see him gone tells me that he is probably someone they fear. He made an honest mistake, expressed his sorrow for it, and is now ready to move forward and defeat a liberal in the Senate.
The left wants him in the campaign, but they will also use him to beat up other Republicans as long as he's around.
I Abide by a higher principle ~ to wit: In a nation of more than 300 million people there are plenty enough highly qualified candidates of the right temperament, intellect and ideological connectivity to suffice for anyone or any group.
Accordingly, when we are still in a legal position to deselect a candidate who failed in some matter, and pick another one with some legal process, WE SHOULD DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Aikin created a situation you never want to be ~ he became an internet target. Whatever the MSM seems to be doing is nothing compared to what the internet has done and can continue to do FOR YEARS ~
I hope you understand that my concerns with Romney fall in the same category ~ he failed to RESPOND to questions of HIS and HIS LIEUTENANT"S INTEGRITY regarding last minute rule making that benefited only him and hurt all the other candidates.
That to me is terminal failure ~ imagine this dude in charge of the nuclear football ~ this is the kind of guy who'll take to the secret underground atom bomb proof chamber first, before letting the rest of us knew the Balloon Is Up.
It's not too late there either. Maybe uncomfortable, but do you want to win? And when I say "Win" I don't mean just get yourself in charge of White House barbeques (like Obama) but also to take effective command of American power in a dangerous world.
I much prefer a commanding figure whose spent his life examining the world at large than any Chicago street hoodlum.
Please find us a candidate who can fit the bill while there's still time.
INDEED!!
First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
Since Akin was responding to an ABORTION question, it is OBVIOUS to me that he merely left out a word: "CLAIM".
... If it’s a legitimate rape CLAIM, the female body has ...
He may have been wrong MEDICALLY, but just how many women CLAIM to have been raped when they find out they are in trouble?
