MoDo reminds us Crazy Uncle Todd was not all wrong.
Make no mistake, his comments on Sunday would make the Devil himself facepalm. No, Ms. Do looks at what he said as he tries to keep running for Senate in the state of Misery.
There’s something trying about an unforgiving man suddenly in need of forgiveness.As reprehensible a person as Crazy Uncle Todd may be, he stands with his ideas, if not with his words. Unlike Mitt the Twit and ZEGS who are running away as far as their chains will let them, for they are eternally chained tothose ideas.
Yet Todd Akin is right. He shouldn’t have to get out of the United States Senate race in Missouri simply for saying what he believes. He reflects a severe stance on abortion that many in his party embrace, including the new vice presidential candidate.
“I talk about one word, one sentence, one day out of place, and, all of a sudden, the entire establishment turns on you,” Representative Akin complained to the conservative radio talk-show host Dana Loesch on Tuesday as he spurned pleas from Mitt Romney and other G.O.P. big shots to abort his bid. He continued: “They just ran for cover at the first sign of any gunfire, and I think we need to rush to the gunfire.”
He’s right again. Other Republicans are trying to cover up their true identity to get elected. Even as party leaders attempted to lock the crazy uncle in the attic in Missouri, they were doing their own crazy thing down in Tampa, Fla., by reiterating language in their platform calling for a no-exceptions Constitutional amendment outlawing abortion, even in cases of rape, incest and threat to the life of the mother.
Akin is right in saying this race should be about “who we are as a people.”
It should also be about who they are. They are people who want to be in your life, deep in your life, even when they say they don’t.
