He is conservative through and through. Missourians will decide, not the drive-by media. Why would an incoherent comment change anyone’s mind to not vote for Akin and for the hated McCaskill who is joined at the hip with the weakest, worst President since before Carter?
Really? You can't see by now that the guy is politically dead? Are you this politically tone deaf?
You can't go on TV and spout some ridiculous, half baked idea about women not getting pregnant via rape because their bodies magically shut down, and expect to remain a viable candidate in a statewide general election. And don't post me a bunch of garbage about how his statements are sorta, almost, kinda true. They are absolutely ridiculous. For a large scale example of just how ridiculous, one doesn't need to look any further than the conquering Red Army's rape of masses of German women and the thousands upon thousands of pregnancies that resulted from it. Akin himself has disowned his dopey theory, attributing it to some article he read in the past.
He is conservative through and through.
So is my neighbor. He's a great guy and terrific conservative. Unfortunately, much as we all like him, he can't win a statewide election for Senate. So we can go on liking him forever, just not as a candidate for Senate.
Missourians will decide, not the drive-by media.
You really don't know what is going on here do you? I mean, you haven't got a clue. Akin's statements were so utterly stupid that virtually every conservative will have to walk away from him. That means no money from the party or conservative PAC's. This means he can't compete. And yes, the drive-by media does, unfortunately, shape elections. There is a double standard. It's not fair, but it is what it is and until we've taken over the mainstream media we are playing under the left's rules. A conservative can't say the stuff Akin did and survive a competitive election. Maybe he could hold his own House district, but he isn't going to win statewide in Missouri now.
