In reply to the discussion: Romney says Dems using Akin flap to discredit GOP [View all]Kalidurga
(14,177 posts)29. So Romney doesn't think we are using what Akin said legitimately?
Well, I disagree Akin looked like he was enjoying himself fine in that interview. Akin pledges to carry his candidacy to term. The GOP didn't at any point try to fight Akin off, in fact many were in bed with Akin when he was writing bills to attempt to make abortions difficult to get. I think the GOP should just lay down and enjoy what is happening, since the outcome seems to be inevitable. I think if the GOP wants to abort Akin they need to prove that his membership to the party was forcible.

Akin is the one discrediting the GOP, all because he thinks like Ryan, Romney, and all the other Rs

well...seems appropriate. Akin's views represent those of Paul Ryan and many in GOP
