I know, I am pissing in the wind at some folks here, and in my younger days I probably would have been one of those purity uber alis, but I’ve learned purity uber alis equals no seat at the table.
Reality is, no one other than political junkies knew who Akin was a few weeks ago, now folks around the world know him as the Rape candidate.. he’s done. The verbal Gaffe of “legitimate rape” probably could have been overcome, even though it evokes a eviceral reaction, but the follow up after that, that a womans body will stop it from getting pregnat if raped, is so insanely ignorant that the guy truly has no business being anywhere near a law making body.
Now you can’t look at the news and see this fools name, he’s a distraction, and he’s hurting the overall cause. The fact he’s sticking around just proves how utterly ignorant and politically tin eared this guy is. He is proof that politicians are by and large a stupid bunch of people.. no one with more than a brain cell or two working would remotely think they can overcome what he’s done.
He could disappear and return in a few years to fight again and maybe do something, but this election cycle, he’s a millstone that will cost his party close races. Idiot.
Bitching and moaning its not fair that he’s being treated one way, and a pedophile homosexual democrat isn’t or whatever doesn’t change anything, its a legitimate gripe, but it DOESN’T CHANGE ANYTHING. We all know the news is biased to the left, which is why, idiots like this guy should never be put up by Republicans.. one idiot like this puts a millstone around every other republican running.
“one idiot like this puts a millstone around every other republican running.”
He is the poster boy now for every pro abortion group out there.
He is the “Mark Foley” for all who want to categorize Reps as neanderthal in their view of women.
He is the laughing stock for all left wing political comedians.
He is generating a large amount of spill over into other campaigns.
It just goes on and on.
