Akin says 'liberal elites' are trying to take him down

Quote:In a new fundraising appeal, Mr Akin claims "the liberal elite" are trying to take down a "pro-life conservative".
He seems to have forgotten his own party is trying to run him out.
When the Republican party wants you gone because of something crazy you said, put a fork in yourself, you're done.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I think the idea is to flirt with crazy...to lure the crazies (and the crazy in all of us) in. Once you've "gone full retard" -to borrow the line (love that movie btw..totally under-appreciated)......that's it, you're done.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If the republican party wants to fix the damage maybe they should adopt a plank foreswearing support for any restriction of a woman's right to an abortion in cases of rape.

Dear Mr. Akin, please stay in the race
and stick up for what you and all your ilk really believes in - that pregnance proves raped woman deserved it or that if a woman "shuts her systems down" during the process, then the rape is legitimate
, even if none of your ilk want to own up to their real beliefs in public.
Also, by all means, speak louder and let the world know just what you think of the honesty and sincerity of your party's candidate, Mr. Romney and his brown nosing prom king of VP pick, as he asks you to leave the race so his party's falsity and real nature won't hurt his campaign.

Why? For political expediency? Or that what he said was contrary to Republican values? Some party, condemn a guy that openly says what the party stands for.
Why should you want Obama defeated in the upcoming election? He is Bush's third term. Really! What's the difference? I'm not just being provacative, what is the real practical and governing difference between Obama and Bush?

Except not packaged in the party approved way. One thing these republicans are usually very good at. The price they pay for getting in bed with bible nutters.

I will defend Mr Akin here in that he is only being honest in saying what he believes. I would reckon there are plenty of Fundamentalist Christians (which Mr Akin is one) who believe much the same stuff as he does. Hell if I was one I would only condemn him for that raped woman wanting to get pregnant thing, which is too far.
People need to know you are dealing with the sort of people who believe say that evolution is an anti-christian philosophy inspired by Satan, or that scientists who argue for anthropogenic climate change are philosophizing.
By the way I have read stuff by what would be considered top commentators and intellectuals in the Fundamentalist Protestant community (such as Bill Muehlenberg and Albert Mohler), what they write about makes for quite interesting, if not disturbing reading.
