Republicans insist on illustrating their reputation as the STUPID PARTY and I am not talking about Akin. Akin said something that were it worded as most of the time instead of it is he would have said a true thing. As it is it would have been a three day hoo ha and been over except for the Republicans who were aghast that Akin had said something that would cause Hannity and Schnitt and Boehner, etc., even Levin, and I assume, most of the rest of them to be senred at by their Democrat friends at the Wasington Leftie cocktail parties. Now the whole republican Party and all the Conservatives are campaigning to keep LEFTDEMOCRAT McKaskill in Washington for another term to show their LEFTY friends that they are have just as much politically corectitude as any Democrat. I have no more hope for the Republicans OR FOR THE SELF PROCLAIMED CONSERVAIVE LEADERS. They would all rather lose an election than be sniffed at by the left high society.
Akin would be a Conservative senator and would vote with the conservative Republicans in the Senate. His analog on the left would elicit a chuckle or two and NO opposition from his own party. In fact the Êmocrats have a lot of them and they all vote reliably with the Democrat leadership. Republicans cannot turn this sinking ship around. They are far too concerned about showing themselves to be nice guys to the Left
