“A time for choosing.
Stand with a man who said something stupid but means very well or stand with someone who supports abortion.”
****************************************************************
Do you have the intelligence and insight to realize that the stars have perversely aligned in such a way that standing “with a man who said something stupid but means well” (i.e., Akins) has, as a practical reality, truly come to be equivalent with standing “with someone who supports abortion” (i.e., McCaskill).
Who would have thunk it? Keeping Akin on the ticket (i.e., standing with him) will now result in the election of McCaskill). And while it’s a very painful and sad reality, IT IS THE REALITY FACING US.
Of course, not everyone here lives in Realville (as Rush puts it) and thus not everyone here is capable of recognizing this truth.
I rather think the difference is between those who are conditioned to react to a perceived reality and those who think that tomorrow's reality can be shaped by todays words and actions.
