Patty Murray On NRSC’s Todd Akin Change Of Heart: ‘Absolutely Shameful’

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/patty-murray-on-nrscs-todd-akin-change-of

(snip)
“The statement by national Republicans in support of Todd Akin is absolutely shameful. All Republican candidates across the country are now going to have to answer for their party's support of Akin.”

“Their decision to support Akin should leave zero doubt in anyone’s mind that the Republican Party and the candidates they support are downright dangerous for women.”

“I expected more, but sadly, Todd Akin represents the official position of the Republican Party. All Republican Senate candidates support a Republican agenda that would pose a serious threat to women and inflict Todd Akin’s extreme views on our country.”
