Akin Tells Hannity That Romney Exploited Rape Controversy For Political Gain

[TroyD]

“Let me ask you this,” Akin began. “If you were in Romney’s position, don’t you think that he may have bid this thing up and made a bigger deal about it than he needed to?”

“Why couldn’t he run his race and I run mine,” asked Akin. “If things really look like they’re getting in trouble in Missouri than maybe — but he has just assumed.”

6. And yet.. Ryan will be welcomed with balloons and confetti. Oh the hypocrisy.

Akin should crash that convention. Have the Republicans learned NOTHING from their scorched earth hypocrisy? Those people they banish tell tales....
