RedState: Go All in for Mourdock and Akin

Well, Republicans have decided that they no longer care about "appearing" to be moderate and are all for the War on Women. Here (WARNING: LINK TO REDSTATE) noted Republican / Conservative commentator Erick Erickson (proprietor of the RedState blog) illustrates just WHY Republicans should flip Women voters "the bird" and support anti-women warriors Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock under the Headline: "If You Want to Repeal Obamacare, Support Akin & Mourdock."

Erickson states:

Even if Mitt Romney wins, it will be for naught if Harry Reid still controls the Senate. That is the reality. That is why Republicans must rally to two gentlemen who are committed pro-lifers, but who said things in defense of children that others have decided to beat them up about..... Honestly, you can be a pro-lifer and be offended by what they said. But at least they spoke up and tried to defend a position many in the GOP run away from. We should, however, be ashamed of a pro-life community that does not have these gentlemen’s backs now. (vb1 emphasis) We need them in the Senate to repeal Obamacare. We need them in the Senate to take a Senate majority.

So what exactly did these "two gentlemen" go on to say that were in "defense of children".... 

Here is Todd Akin on "Legitimate Rape" and on how Women's bodies can actually stop them from getting pregnant from rape.

Well you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well how do you, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question. First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.

And here is Mourdock describing that "Rape" is part of "G-d's plan":

“I just struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize: Life is that gift from God that I think even if life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen,”

and then when explaining it;

"I believe God controls the universe," Mourdoch told reporters, who asked if he thought pregnancies resulting from rape were God's plan. "I don't believe biology works in an uncontrolled fashion."

(On the ABC Link there is audio of Mitt Romney saying: "This fall I support Richard Mourdock") then in the way the Republicans are STILL trying to sell "Mittmentum"... Erickson says the following:

We need the Senate. We need Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock to get the Senate. Oh, and you want to know the punchline? They really can win. Mourdock probably will. Akin is close.

Just for information sake and to fact check Erick I went to TPM Poll Tracker to find out if this was true. Here is what I found: 

 

Missouri:

McCaskill: 48.5% Akin: 39%

Indiana: 

 

Shows nothing much from Independent pollsters but has the lead to which ever candidate did the poll.
Nonetheless, this just shows that Republicans will accept ANYONE as long as that person supports their agenda to privatize the Government and destroy the social safety net for those most in need. If that means going to individuals that support the most backwards narrative imaginable regarding Women and their bodies. So be it.

Apparently the War on Women continues with nary a break.
