Oh My Gawds! He thought something! Exactly what holier-than-them higher standard are "we" holding ourselves to here anyway, hmm, since what the man said, and thought, is merely moronic and not something bad he's done or said? Are "we" in the business of enforcing the politically correct standards of the Left now?
Fine, then. I predict this sort of nonsense will bite in the end. And now that I've said my piece, I'm done with it.
By saying he "thought" something, I intended to indicate that he more than simply "said" something - he uttered what he believes, and what he believes is moronic, and demonstrates (to me at least) that he is not the man who conservatives should support for this office at this time. The stakes are too damned high.
I'm not enforcing PC standards of the Left. I simply want our candidate for Senate against the moronic Claire McCaskill to not be a moron. I want the best chance to beat her. Akin ain't it.
ETA: If we had heeded the warning signs in 2010, with Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell, we might not have ObamaCare to undo right now. I don't see why we ought not learn a lesson from those mistakes. In my opinion, we have to support the most conservative candidate who can win. Akin just sent up a flare that gives us a glaring warning.

This is nonsense. I am NOT a Republican, I am a conservative. i vote with the Republicans for lack of a better choice, not because I think they are so great. This man was solidly pro-life, What he meant was clear from the tape. it had to be twisted and turned, and clipped and commented on, to make it appear what it was not. What he said was TRUE. Trauma DOES affect the chances of a pregnancy. He said it badly. Tough. It happens. He was giving an interview, and yes, he could have been better. I have seen Karl Rove say stupid stuff too, when thinking on his feet. (NOt that it was stupid, but it left room for a leftist to twist it!) That is all that happened to Akin. Defending against the attacks on life and liberty cannot take a back seat to a leftists immediate happiness. I will support him even if I have to send him money my self. I do not trust MY money to the RNC anyway. This man is not my enemy, but Claire McKaskill sure is. She HATES me and all that I stand for...freedom....hope...faith....and the US Constitution. These things are her enemy and all that will stand against her.
Btw, this is my first post on this forum. Let us NEVER form circular firing squads. Take out Claire. let her find a nice lobbying job, but get her OUT of the Senate and SUPPORT Akin!
