Mr. Elder, please pay attention. There has been, there is... and there will ALWAYS be a double standard. Please, get over it. It is the cross we wear... because of what we stand for. And that's why we police our own. To defend a candidate who is clearly not qualified to be a senator is not lack of courage... it is a lack of common sense. To defend a candidate who threatens the rejection of Obamacare, leftist Supremes and the avoidance of a certain fiscal train-wreck is not lack of courage... it is sheer stupidity. You want courage...??? Assemble a tsunami of election volunteers from coast to coast and send this community organizer back to where he came from. And trolls... don't even bother.

Todd Akin Was Never Accused of Rape -- Unlike Bill Clinton

Which is worse, Rep. Todd Akin's, R-Mo., ignorance about human anatomy -- or the way Republicans jump, run and hide when the Democrat-media complex decides they should?

Akin is the Republican candidate for a crucial Senate seat in Missouri. In an interview, he said that he believed that pregnancy following an act of rape is "really rare -- if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down."

Incredibly dumb. The married father of six, including two daughters, apologized the next day and then recorded an ad apologizing yet...
