Romney says Dems using Akin flap to discredit GOP

[DFW]

9. Does Romney's right eye discredit his left eye?

Akin is Ryan, and Romney, no matter what the reason, chose Ryan.

Akin's statements are linked to the GOP because Akin IS the GOP. They can discredit him all the want, but he still has plenty of financing for his Senate run, and that means the GOP is still behind him. Maybe Akin won't speak in Tampa, but Huckabee will, and Huckabee is 100% behind Akin, and the GOP is proudly inviting Huckabee to speak at their podium.*

If Romney thinks that is ugly, well, he's spot on. It IS ugly. His party is ugly. His running mate is ugly. His party's platform is ugly, and this country will be one ugly place if he gets into the Oval Office, because Ryan, and therefore the Kochs would be whispering in his ear, telling him what to do for four long, dark bleak years.

*Interesting on its own: The Republican convention has Fox commentators speaking at their party podium. How many MSNBC commentators are speaking at the DNC? Is this the final cessation of the pretense that Fox is not the media propaganda arm of the Republican Party?
