This. It was an unforced error of the very worst kind, making Republicans look like a bunch of misogynist's from the Dark Ages. They were interviewing some Democrat consultant/talking head on television yesterday on FOX and he basically said "Christmas comes early this year" in regards to Akin's comments.

People are not abandoning him because he simply misspoke, people are abandoning him because what he said was so utterly stupid and ridiculous that he just committed the equivalent of political suicide. He's way down in the polls and McCaskill hasn't even begun to run her campaign yet. He's toast, and people don't want to see that seat get wasted and Obama Claire wind up with another 6 years.

...what he said, is TRUE.
even the NY TIMES said so, in old articles.

‘’Last year, when the Pennsylvania Legislature modified the law to say it only covered rape or incest reported to law-enforcement authorities, the number of publicly funded abortions dropped from 35 a month to 3.’’

...just as it is truth, that there are 10’s of thousands,
of FALSE accusations each year. (according the the FBI!).
...NOTHING he said was false.

I say Akin was right; and AIN’T I A WOMAN?**

...Ryan CO-AUTHORED that bill with Akin, that attempted to define “legitimate” rape. if you throw Akin under the bus, eventually, Ryan will go too!
=
WHY do you attack Akin so hard, instead of Ryan, or “legitimate” rapists, like BILL CLINTON ?
Cicero’s comment in #15, was brilliant.
=
...if the libs take Akin down now,
conservatives will NEVER be able to raise these issues again.
(and, it’s odd... how even good FReepers,
who KNOW not to believe liberal polls,
are RELIGIOUSLY citing the new poll showing Akins down by 10.)
