Does it seem suspicious?

[Catherine Vincent]

That comment by Akin is so far off. How could anyone say that? It has me wondering if he said something so absurd to get everyone to focus on his comment just to take the heat off of Romney. No one is talking about releasing income taxes or Bain anymore.

1. Honey, there are more assholes in DC than GOd or nature ever intended.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. As for the Romney response-duplicitous as usual.

2. Nothing they say surprises me anymore.

They don't just say it, they put their ignorant views in platforms. I am more amazed by how they usually get away with it without much fanfare.

3. No, they really ARE that stupid.

4. Oh dear.

So they concoct a conspiracy which makes the party look like a bunch of loonies, to divert attention from Mitt's record???

Plus, Akin legislatively connects to Ryan on similar issues, Mitt's running mate?

Surely, this is just a trial balloon. You cannot be seriously considering this.

5. You need to consider that this is a nightmare for Romney/Ryan.

They would much prefer to be hammering Obama on the economy right now, but they can't because all the loonies in the Republican Party are grabbing the spotlight. This is a good thing.
