They're doubling down on stupidity...

Loyalty begets loyalty. The Akins owe nothing to the GOP Establishment, which made a serious mistake in not supporting a colleague who made a verbal gaffe and had apologized. The gaffe was made on Sunday followed almost immediately by an apology. On Monday, the GOP unleashed the Hammers of Hell against Akin demanding he withdraw by Tuesday, cutting off all money to him, and disinviting him from the Convention.

The GOP didn't count on Akin standing firm and refusing to get out of the race after winning a hard, tough primary. So now Romney and Ryan are running on a ticket with Akin and will be asked everytime they show up in Missouri whether they still want Akin to withdraw. And that only helps McCaskill and divides the MO GOP. The GOP is not called the Stupid Party for nothing.

— over his false assertion that women who are raped rarely get pregnant —
***********************************************
Only one problem here , it’s true , in fact pregnancy following any single sex act is pretty rare... these people have been bitch slapped by the very people that should have supported them ... the original statement was explainable and technically correct... it’s understandable that they are “flustrated” by the GOP ,, we have a lot to learn from the rats.

It’s official, to many mirrors in their house.

Wow, this was truly a match made in heaven. A staggering achievement for Mr. and Mrs. Akin to both be so politically tone deaf in regard to the R-Word. "Doubling Down" is right. When will they learn to keep their mouth shut about this particular topic? They must be trying to lose.
