If Akin has no chance I would like him to step aside and give somebody else a chance.
But if this is how we’re going to let the dims play the grievances game, we’re going to lose no matter who is the candidate. The loss in the polls is probably different factions trying to leverage for a particular candidate other than Akin. Maybe they’ll succeed; maybe not. But when we’ve got the final candidate we’re going to have to play for keeps, and that’s going to be hard to do if we don’t learn to recognize the political agitators and their methods.
Women have always been the squishy voters. They are always targeted for these kinds of crappy games. The people who are wheedling about Akin warring against women are the same people who side with the Arab Spring, in which Christian women are kidnapped, raped, forced into marriage, and forcibly converted to Islam, where husbands can rape their wives without penalty their whole life long and can have them stoned to death for adultery without any evidence.
At some point we have to get real. Women have to stop being suckers and see both the trees and the forest. I say that as a woman. There is compassion, and then there is just stupidity. For a lot of women it’s harder to see the difference because we have such a tendency to compassion. But I would be crazy to be so “compassionate” to raped women that I deliver them from the likes of Akin in order to hand them over to Huma Abedin’s father and mother.
I totally agree with you and as usual your logic is impeccable.
I think on your take on women going for obama we have just been out strategized by slick con men.Axelrod is so adept at astroturfing people into believing anything and has complete control over the media. We are just getting to the point where we can counter him,it aint easy.
One problem we have is that the rats run for office 24/7--365 while we run only at the last minute and then try to stick to the issues while they are tearing us apart on non-issues before we even get started.
Fortunately for the most part we getting wise to how they play the game.We realize they will use any diversion to keep from talking about the real issues of the campaign and if we cave to those issues, as you say, we are falling into rat trap # 728 of 10,000 that are out there.
In this case I see your point of sticking with Aikin to the bitter end but I really think he just beat himself.He fell into rat trap # 729 and his numbers are showing it.
My biggest worry is not for us to let them have a national issue from a local race.
