I think all decent Progressive Americans should be on their knees thanking the Almighty for Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin....
The one and only reason the GOP hierarchy (and their mouthpieces) are in such a panic trying to shove them out of the spotlight (and under the bus) is because they know all-too-well that they are a living, breathing, "Picture of Dorian Gray"... exposing the putrescent soul of the republican party for all to see.
They didn't count on this.
Their statements weren't 'gaffes' nor are they some 'fringe' elemenst expressing views contrary to their values.... they are the QUINTESSENTIAL right-wingers.
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANISM INCARNATE.
Unwavering dogmatic ideological cultists willing (and seemingly able) to bring them all down.
And they are now PETRIFIED that their agenda has been laid bare prematurely... before they (and their "masters" could hornswoggle the electorate into, once again, placing them into positions of power to finalize their true agenda.
Hopefully, the women in their Party (as well men who still respect them) will rethink their loyalties before election day and make sure, along with the rest of us, to relegate the lot of them into the cesspool of history where they belong forever.
.. and we all must work as hard as possible to make that happen.

(18,541 posts)What they lost is the (formerly) undecided vote and those who still think for themselves (aka, the non-Fox, Rush Limbaugh crowd).

(11,087 posts)and Inhofe and Santorum and Ryan and Romney. Some previously faithful have told us they can't vote for Romney. They've reached a breaking point and will no longer forgive this much stupidity. It really hurts them. They feel sad, but soon feel liberated from the burden of trying to justify the unjustifiable. I really think the Republican party is destroying itself.
