For the past few days, there's been much much talk about the stupid comments by Todd Akin. The media, of course, took it out of context (wow...just what they accused of us) and made Mr. Akin sound horrible.
Editor: Anonymous brought up a good point. Let's clarify: Akin wasn't justifying rape. But that's how the media is now portraying it. They have made Akin a poster child for the Dems to tar and feather. Now I really don't think anyone believes there is "legitimate rape". No one. It's not! But I absolutely agree the scrutiny and calls for stepping down are justified. No matter how Mr. Akin meant it. No good for the country if he stays...only for the liberals.
So..let's continue
First thing, candidates...THINK! As one of my email buddies said..."Smile, Grin and shut the pie hole."
We ought to know by now the media's job is to just trip up the right and make us look like fools. Thanks Todd for eating the bait. Hate if for you bud, but please go.
He's lost massive support. The RNC says they won't back him. Romney and Ryan, our President/VP candidates, have asked him to step down. And many many others. Including me. But what did this girl and others get? Oh pretty much an accusation that we had no right to say such.
Excuse me..when this guy puts this election in jeapordy, it IS my business. Every member of Congress legislates over me. But all that being said...here's another "See We told you so." Todd had this in the bag. All he had to do was show up!
Now the latest polling comes out - not some biased one - Scott Rasmussen, one of the best:
New poll shows McCaskill ahead of Akin
The polls are the first since Akin, once the front-runner, made controversial remarks on Sunday saying women somehow can biologically ward off pregnancy after forced sex, setting off a national backlash and Republican Party demands for him to withdraw from the race.
Akin has cited the PPP Poll and his own internal polling which shows him competitive with McCaskill as reasons for him to stay in the race.
Todd, this NC girl says get out now. Put your country FIRST.

In what way was the "legitimate rape" comment taken out of context?
Anonymous you brought up a good point.
I will rewrite what I meant in red. Thanks.
He does need to drop out.
Not according to mike hucabee
I heard last night threat has been made against this man. People, who on this earth has not said things they regret and most of all stupid, look at Biden. Just move on, the media is working overtime on this, that is why folks are so in an uproar because the media is harping over and over on this man. Holder is still in and nothing done to him. Hey that is just my opinion.
The GOP threw this guy to the wolves! It's bull! The GOP should be ashamed for what they have done!
Shelia: You are wrong! Ryan did not ask Akin to step down. At least all the reports say he didn't. They may legislate for all of the US, but they are only representing their constituents. For others to be in an uproar over such a mistake is inappropriate & selfish. You may be trying to save a country, but maybe you should try praying and let God do what you think you can.
If I am so wrong, identify yourself so we can debate face to face.
Or do you have the guts?
Sis, lets just pray for Anonymous. Maybe he or she didn't get the love they so wanted earlier in life. It's easy to see how sad this person is.
Faith without works is dead - James 2:17 prayer even faith-filled prayer wont work alone it takes the actions of faith-filled men and women to change this country.
How true anonymous, how true you are!
Tee-hee. you guys are so funny! The biggest problem you all have with Akin, is that so many in your party agree with him! There's no difference between "forcible" rape and "legitimate" rape, and Ryan's been angling for that kind of language since he was elected. I heard he's gotten some death threats. Unfortunately, the suspect list has only been narrowed down to all women everywhere.
