Nobody’s Perfect: The Legitimate Todd Akin VS The Legitimate Charlie Crist
Nobody’s Perfect:
Nobody likes to lose their job, and politicians are no exception. This week we have the politician who thinks that there are 57 states in the Union…
No wait. That was our President who got that fact wrong.
No—it was Representative Todd Akin from right here in Missouri who everyone wants to fire: Here’s his big quote that shook the nation:
Rep. Akin, who is running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill in Missouri, sparked outrage when he said in an Aug. 19 interview that “legitimate rape” rarely leads to pregnancy because “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
And of course, the whole world was trying to figure what he meant by “legitimate” even though most of us in Missouri knew exactly what he meant: Sort of like when the black stripper accused the Duke Lacrosse boys of a rape, that never happened. You know…did she say “Yes?’ Did she lie? Or did he knock her unconscious with a baseball bat?
Were you BOTH drunk that night?
As for the other part…some doctors have reported on that. Where’s the science on it? 
So, it was stupid—but not anymore stupid than a President not knowing how many states there are. Atkin is not a doctor.
Dick Morris right away put into everyone’s mind that the Republicans would lose the majority in the Senate and therefore Obamacare would stay, if Akin stayed in the race—He HAD to go.
They are making Akin look like a right-wing nut job. Maybe he is but HEY…compare him to Joe Biden.
When you are running against a President who has by the stroke of his pen, ordered all Catholics (and all the rest of us too) to pay for abortions— You have to wonder—just how stupid they think the people from Missouri are?
(Don’t answer that.)
Obama–a President who has no clue how many states are in HIS union and who hopes his own daughters do not have any legitimate babies… came right out and accused Todd of having the scientific mind of a Nancy Pelosi.
Now…compare Todd’s blunder to Florida’s former Republican governor, Charlie Crist: Another life long career Republican politician who lost his last race in Florida to Marco Rubio, so now he is going to change parties, and go to the Democratic Convention and back Obama.
He just wants to keep making the big bucks. So, he changed parties. Such integrity.
At least Todd Atkin remains a loyal Republican.
What is really disconcerting is that the Republican party, is so desperate to change leaders that they attack a man who made a simple stupid verbal mistake, instead of COMPARING him to the man in the White House, who is fundamentally destroying the country.
Who made the bigger mistake in this? Charlie or Todd?
Nobody Thinks we don’t even have a legitimate President, so it just another day in America, where the American people get ‘legitimately’ raped.
In the meantime: I remain legitimately baffled.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

I was not specifically ‘going into my emotions’, Joy, but I see that emotions are high on this matter. Aiken ought to have been far clearer in expressing his meaning.
I also put not my own detailed view of the complex emotional states experienced by a raped woman (not being one myself and having an imagination holiday), but rather put the thoughts and words of a qualified woman.
I agree that far too often men are accused of rape where clearly no such crime had been committed or even intended.

The ‘words’ used by policians need careful choice. That Aikin fellow is a damned fool, if you ask me, especially with his unsupportrd and clearly refutable view that a woman’s body can differentiate motive all by itself.
But an even more egregious and mendacios proposition one hears continually is the one that ‘allows’ abortion for babies conceived due to rape. The baby’s life is made unworthy.
But a human being is tremendously ‘Capable’. But let mother speak more knowledgably than I:
But the misery doesn’t have to stay, says this rape victim, Shauna Prewitt. In her poignant open letter to Representative Akin, Prewitt writes:
“Although I would not be able to articulate it for months, I was experiencing a most curious emotion toward the life growing inside of me, an emotion that both enlivened me and caused me to experience an intolerable shame. You see, to my surprise, I did not altogether hate the life growing inside of me. Instead, I felt a sort of kinship, a partnership — perhaps the kind that only develops between those who have suffered together — but, nevertheless, I felt a bond.”
Her emotions confused her, she said, since she felt like a “bad rape victim” who saw “light” in her pregnancy, instead of hatred. Why was this? Prewitt mused.
“Perhaps the answer is as simple as this: Just as being raped did not override my body’s natural ability to get pregnant, rape did not altogether override my body’s natural response to being pregnant.”
Though it was no easy decision, Prewitt gave birth to and is raising her daughter, an experience of “unimaginable joy,” she says.
And there’s the rub. Rape is violating because it takes joy out of what should be a loving act. But rape doesn’t have to remove the joy out of a second loving act—the giving of life to another.

Funny, I took his line to mean just what he said. And yet, you and others have gone into their “emotions” on the whole subject of rape and branded him a moron. The subject is a hotbed of emotion. I certainly did not mean that a baby should be aborted because of rape, and I don’t think he was suggesting that. He is a pro lifer. I took him that he meant the word legitimate as in “WAS SHE RAPED OR WAS SHE NOT?”…So many men are accused of a crime that they did NOT commit…I think you would agree with me on that. Most every one else thinks he meant the word as the baby was not legitimate if it was conceived of a rape. Hmmmmmm…you say tomato, I say toMAto…which did he really mean? Logic. Logic. I don’t know, I haven’t heard the WHOLE interview. Jaco is a Wacko liberal, and no doubt, like most liberals try to corner a man into saying absurd things. I haven’t read too much of the other opinions floating around…not sure if that means I’m less inclined to “emote” or I’m more ignorant to the “truth” …mm……. As for the science…sure a woman CAN get pregnant from a rape. BUT…a woman can also be so upset at the horror of the violence of a rape, that her body produces chemicals that would abort the child due to mere shock. That’s science. That’s been observed in science. Lots of women lose babies to emotional trauma, and not just rape. Getting pregnant to many women is very hard…believe it or not. Some can just pop them out at random, others suffer greatly from not being able to carry a child to term. I know women like this. The human body is a wonder of chemicals that all must work precisely. I think that is a recorded fact. To support this line of thinking, for the whole clock of humanity, a gay person was thought not to be the ‘norm’ and now, according to all your experts…they are. Normal. The same. It all depends on the way the “science” is written doesn’t it? Same goes with history. Myself, I think the economy now plays more into the whole mess of abortion than anyone wants to admit, it costs thousands to bring a child to it’s adulthood and most women don’t want to bear that expense alone, unless of course the state pays for it………and that’s why abortion will always be around, as much as a horror it is. No matter how much a man is told to pay BY the state, it only covers half the cost most times. We might not like the world as it is…but utopia is not going to come to us any time soon. It’s a sad state all around. The liberals, who are atheists at most, love to use this shit as ammunition to cut conservatives down as being “ignorant” in the “stone age.” They MUST get rid of any sort of religious thoughts. It’s the communist book of play. What’s worse? The old time bible “Thou shall not kill?” or the NEW STATE “Thou shalt kill for the good of the whole?” By keeping on the subject…they assure his defeat. It’s a strategic mistake. The democrats would NEVER do that insanity, but the conservatives just tie the noose around their neck and hang themselves. I did not vote for Akin. But he IS pro-life. Compared to all the other dimwits on the scene, he is no worse than the rest. If he meant what I thought he meant…he is less of a criminal than Obama, and that’s the point I was after.
