Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Sunday that Democratic efforts to tie him to Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-Mo.) controversial comments are “sad” and he reiterated that he adamantly disagrees with the congressman’s recent remarks about rape and pregnancy.
“With all the issues America faces, for the Obama campaign to stoop to such a low level — they understand and they are are wise enough to understand that people like myself — who have asked Todd Akin to get out of the race — are doing so because we vehemently disagree with what he said. And believe it hurts our party and I think is damaging to women.”

Democrats, including the Democratic National Committee, meanwhile, have tried to connect Akin’s remarks to the presidential ticket. Romney on Sunday called Akin’s remarks “outrageous” and “uninformed.”
Democrats also have raised the issue of Romney’s offshore accounts. Romney said Sunday the attacks have come because the Democratic campaign ”is not about the big issues America faces.” He added that ”all the taxes are paid exactly as owed and there are no tax savings by virtue of having that vehicle.”

Another pants-on-fire moment for Mittens.
Dems need to mention Romney's bragging about being endorsed by Dr. John Willkie every time he tries to squirm away from being associated with these crazy anti-choice views.
And his claim that there were no tax savings from his offshore accounts should be easy to shoot down, too.
