Akins is no idiot.

He was voicing the official opinion of the Republican party.

The Plank Committee for the Repub Convention TODAY voted on and confirmed the position that Akins stated.

As Rush apparently said, the Repubs should stand by their man, and their beliefs.

Quote:
Limbaugh said that he was not prepared to throw Akin "under the bus" as have so many conservative pundits and lawmakers.

He went on to say that Akin's defense of life was noble, but that he went about making his case with "glorious ineptitude."
