Akin has made no bones about his pro-life beliefs, he clarified his attitude to show that he does care about victims and that he takes sexual crime very seriously - so why the shock and outrage? Reading the "comment section" after some of these Akin stories has been amazing - with each poster trying to trump the one before, as they screech their outrage - the end result sounds like immoral insanity - or a new headline for liberal media! <br /><br />Did Akin state what he believed? He did - because he had the conviction to do so. Did the PARTY throw him under the bus? They sure did! WHY? Well, a liberal knows where they stand on abortion. The Republican Party (mixed with conservatives) has decided to not discuss the subject - therefore there are no talking points. The Republican Party has totally abdicated it's leadership and position on this issue, resulting in a real squishy stance. <br /><br />For me, I'm looking for leaders with depth of character that are willing to stand for what they believe. I'm not looking for a PARTY - I'm looking for leaders. <br /><br />There is a stark difference between Akin and McCaskill. If you are a voter that doesn't realize the differences between these two people - please do your homework before you go to the poll.notforsalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110452830549763859noreply@blogger.com
