Denizens, I’m not sure what to make of the Akin brouhaha.

Yeah, what the guy said was dumb.&#160 Incredibly so, in fact.&#160 Now, I understand the line of reasoning – you tell me who among us, sans&#160 the necessary training, performs well under extreme pressure.&#160 (And I don’t give a shit if the study he’s quoting was&#160 commissioned by the Nazis – if they proved it, they proved it.)

Nor am I saying the “science”, if you will, is 100% guaranteed to work all the time.&#160 30,000 rape pregnancies per year (at least, that’s the number I remember reading) puts the lie to that.

I do concede that the way&#160 he said it was very, very stupid.

But what irritates me is the way that all the conservative high muckety-mucks in our society – from the Mizzou political bigwigs, to Malicious Malkin, to Hannity, to Krauthammer, to – yes, even Limbaugh – are throwing this guy under the bus.&#160 Despite the man’s obviously conservative voting record in Congress, he’s now a fucking GOP pariah.

It’s the one advantage the Demoscum have over us.&#160 Biden makes a crack about Republicans wanting to put Americans in “chains” (and spoken with a faux Southern accent, at that) – the Dimbulbs come to his aid.&#160 Bambi says something stupid (a daily occurrence nowadays), the Donks circle the wagons.

Why don’t we ever go to the mats for our people?&#160 Why do we cower in fear when one of ours commits a bon mot?

Pisses me off.&#160 We’d throw Christ Himself under the bus if he said something controversial these days.

And if we continue to run away like ball-less, dickless wonders, is it any wonder why we lose elections all the time?

    Darth, we have been having this same discussion for years. Our political system does not encourage people with big brass ones to run for office. Our system encourages the poll driven wuss’s. This is true for Democrats as well as Republicans. The only difference is that the Democrats have the media openly on their side.

    I believe that Aken made a complete fool out of himself, but he has apologized. The mart thing for the Republicans to do is for them to grow a set and move on. My guess is that they will not do so.

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
