I know.
"That’s the problem."
How so?
"It was an easy, obvious, common, predictable question that he was too dumb to handle."
Really? He was too dumb to handle it? I don't see it that way. I think he answered it perfectly. He made it clear that rape, in his mind and the minds of tens of millions of other Americans, is NO LONGER going to be accepted as an excuse to murder children. He was making it clear that that red herring wasn't going to fly. He also made it clear that pregnancy caused by rape is extremely rare (less than 1% of all rapes result in pregnancy) and he made it clear that not all rapes are the variety associated with violence and no consent. Many rapes are statutory in nature and charges are brought by pissed off parents because their daughters decided to have sex with their boyfriends. Calling Akin dumb because you are ignorant is a bit of a stretch don't ya think? Or are you simply shilling for the GOP establishment? Run Akin off because your most favored candidate couldn't cut the mustard and convince the Conservatives of Missouri to vote for your guy?
Shame on you.
"Maybe he was just having a bad day, but there’s no way to spin it as anything other than stupid. Even he has admitted that."
He admitted that he could have said the same thing differently. Sometimes educated people in the Republican Party forget that most of RINOs, like their lib-tard friends in the demoncrap party, are uneducated and ignorant. He apologized for not taking into account that some RINOs wouldn't understand what he was saying. He never said that he was wrong about what he said. Well... I will take that back. He did back off a bit because some lesser educated in the party couldn't wrap their minds around the fact that pregnancies caused by any rape other than statutory rape is extremely rare. All the anti-Akin crowd could hear was 'women do not ever get pregnant from being raped.' He never said that.
"I certainly hope he does better than that in future interviews and debates, but based on this performance, let’s just say expectations have been lowered."
I agree. He really needs to take into account how successful the liberal run public school system has been in dumbing down his constituents. He has got to realize that there are some really stupid people in our party and he needs to stop giving them as much credit as he has. It's what obama does with the dips**** in his party. ;-)
How so?
Because he's the one who brought it up. Why change the subject away from the important issues? Why bring up a topic nobody asked you about? This is pretty basic stuff. Like it or not, the ability to effectively communicate matters in a political campaign.

He did no such thing. He blabbered some barely coherent sentence about how pregnancy from rape is rare, which is utterly irrelevant to the point you think he made. You can describe his answer in many ways. "Clear" is not one of them.
Even he doesn't defend his statement. Why do you?
