Just heard on MSNBC: Romney Won't Ask Akin To Bow Out of Election

[berni_mccoy]

Apparently, to Romney, it's ok to *think* like Akin does, just as long as you don't get caught saying what you think. Well, that's no surprise. If Romney asked Akin to step down, he'd have to ask the very same of his own running mate, who shares the exact same perspective on Abortion and Rape that Akin does.

Yep, Romney endorses Akin (just not Akin talking about it).

6. Romney has given his implicit endorsement to Todd Akin

and his beliefs.

7. Yep, he basically said the "words were offensive", not the concept. Not the idea. Not the person.

But the words.

8. That will last about an hour until he's told to strengthen that statement,,,,, n/t

9. Romney had better ask the RNC first before he tries to tell the press what he thinks

the RNC will give him an opinion if they want him to have one.

And he'd better LIKE IT!
