GOP: The Party of “Legitimate Rape”
You remember when Missouri Republican caveman Todd Akin made his weird and disgusting comments about “legitimate rape,” and all the GOP bigwigs fell all over themselves to condemn Akin and call for him to drop out of the Missouri Senate race?
“Oh, this is just terrible!” cried the bigwigs.
You remember how incredibly obvious it was that they were just doing it for show, because they thought it might hurt Mitt Romney’s chances of being elected?
Well, yeah, it was a clown show, all right, and they’re not finished beclowning themselves yet: NRSC Takes a Fresh Look at Todd Akin.
With the deadline passed for Todd Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race, the National Republican Senatorial Committee says it’s taking a fresh look at the contest.
“There is no question that for Missourians who believe we need to stop the reckless Washington spending, rein-in the role of government in people’s lives, and finally focus on growing jobs in this country that Todd Akin is a far more preferable candidate than liberal Senator Claire McCaskill,” NRSC Executive Director Rob Jesmer said in a statement. “As with every Republican Senate candidate, we hope Todd Akin wins in November and we will continue to monitor this race closely in the days ahead.”
