    I wouldn’t care if he insisted that Space Aliens made him say stupid shit – I’d still vote for him over McCaskill.

    Watch Akin do a Charlie Crist and turn independent. Of course, THAT would allow the party to select a replacement candidate, but Akin’s loyalists would stick with him and hand the election to McCaskill anyway.

    What to do?

    So with all the indignation, does this mean that Bill Clinton, an accused rapist, is *still* speaking at the Democratic Convention?

    Watching Akin implode and Mccaskill get re-elected is like being an involuntary bystander forced to watch bloody auto crash.

    You know, like living through 3 1/2 years of Obama’s Presidency.

    The only reason Akin has to go is because of the LSM….he has apologized for his poor choice of words…but because we have a biased media in the tank for all things liberal (read: no morals) they will make sure he’s unelectable….and people are too lazy and stupid to search the truth.

    @Unslung Hero — I think the one for men can be called The Male Reproductive System According to Barry. One line points to the penis and is labeled “Pocket-Pool Cue” while another points to the anus and is labeled “Man’s Country.”

    He was actually on to something but leave it to the left to exploit this as far as they can:

    Are assault rape pregnancies common?

    No, they are very rare.

    Are there accurate numbers?

    The Justice Dept., from 1973 to 1987, surveyed 49,000 households annually, asking questions on violence and criminal acts. The results of those reported were:

    1973 — completed rapes — 95,934

    1987 — completed rapes — 82,505

    The study stated that only 53% were reported to police. Accordingly, the total numbers were: 1973 — 181,016 : 1987 — 155,667 The Washington Times, Jan. 14, 1991, A-5

    A significant emotional shock can temporarily affect the functioning of the brain and can lead to dysfunction of the hypothalamus. However, this is not as common as people might think.

    Akin should have been ready for questions like that. Frankly, whether he mispoke, didn’t make himself clear or actually believes what he said isn’t the key issue here. The issue was that McCaskill was extremely vulnerable and that would have been one seat closer to pushing Harry Reid to the backbench. Now the infamous undecided vote which would have probably swung toward Akin (well, more to Romney and the GOP in general) will now rethink their vote. Nobody wants to be accused of voting for someone who says something so far out of line that the press turn him into an object of ridicule.

    I think what he should do is make way for a different candidate and make sure that people know he’s doing it for the good of the country as this election is far too important for one man to risk over one misjudgment.

    Anybody remember Bill Clinton’s justification for stem cell research, that they weren’t using “fertilized embryos”? Biological ignorance knows no party lines

    and to return to “legitimate” rapes, Jane Roe(Norma McCorvey) was not gang-raped by circus workers. She lied about that. She got got pregnant by a man she thought loved her.

    After three days of exposure to this self-serving,intractable ,walking brain fart and listening to clips of today’s bizarre interviews with him , I don’t think he should step aside-I think he should be institutionalized.

    The putz is certifiable.

    I don’t care how socially conservative anyone is; we have a republic to save this election! He is a dumbass and should have kept his mouth shut. He just lost us a much needed senate seat. Abortion will never be illegal, unless we elect an abortion freak dictator with no respect for the rule of law like Obama. If you are against abortion don’t have one, if you are against gay marriage don’t marry a person of the same sex. Social issues lose independents. Live your life as you wish, and let others do the same as long as it doesn’t infringe on your rights. We have governments telling us what to eat, and a Senate candidate making stuff up about reproduction. I hope for the best this November; but optimism is tough in this climate.

    @frosteetoes
    If I’m not misunderstanding you are trying to justify this idiot? The right call out those who are wrong. An incomplete rape is as stupid as a legitimate rape. Would you have a problem if you got half-raped and half-pregnant from it?

    But enough frivolity, I have a two questions:
    1) Why does the baby have to die?
    2) Who is only known ‘adult’ to argue out loud, on the record, and in public AGAINST the born alive infant protection act?

    hint- His name is not Todd.

    If a condom is used, is it still rape?

    Ok what about a broom handle?
