[spanone]

1. he's B O L D.....

what a fucking wimp....

he was against akin stepping down before he was for it.

[Kalidurga]

2. Still doesn't change the fact that Romney supports Personhood legislation...

or the fact that Ryan co-sponsored Akin's bill.

[Philosoraptor]

6. Also too bad romney, ryan & akin are now co-joined triplets

Strange days indeed.....

[Berlum]

20. Mutant Republicans

Romney and Ryan and Akin are joined for eternity by this ugly Republican rape thingy

The Republican War on Women is, frankly, a massively fugly dimension of they Republican soul. Time to expunge.

[nolabear]

3. Well sure, now that he's said he won't. He's the Barney Fife of the GOP.

With apologies to Barney, who did actually catch a bad guy now and then.

[LibDemAlways]

4. Romney no doubt pays consultants a fortune to determine

which way the political wind is blowing. He's as empty a suit as ever ran for an office.

[progressivebydesign]

13. I thought of designing a weathervane with Romney's likeness on it. Would be a great seller..

.. and perfect for predicting what he'll say next.

[reflection]

17. You know what,

that's actually a great idea. You might look into that.

[snooper2]

5. So when he stays are you going to support him mittens?

LOL

[TwilightGardener]

7. Well, who the hell is he to decide? Don't listen to him, Akin!

[Drunken Irishman]

8. It only took him three days.

Good on you, Mitt.

[reflection]

9. I assume he will also ask Ryan to go as well?

If not, what the hell, Mitt?

10. The huge, dead, rotting, stinking elephant in the room

GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney is calling on a defiant Rep. Todd Akin to step aside in the Missouri Senate race.

Akin, a six-term House member, has been under fire since saying Sunday that pregnancy could be prevented in the case of "legitimate rape" because "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

Akin faces Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill for a seat that Republicans hope will help them gain majority control in the Senate.

"As I said yesterday, Todd Akin's comments were offensive and wrong and he should very seriously consider what course would be in the best interest of our country," Romney said in a statement. "Today, his fellow Missourians urged him to step aside, and I think he should accept their counsel and exit the Senate race," Romney said.

12. Akin goes, 'nope'

Romney would have to ask Paul Ryan to go too, as he is ideologically identical to Akin.

Can't have it both ways, RMoney.

[Cali_Democrat]

14. Don't listen to him, Akin!

Hang in there!

[Philosoraptor]

[Motown_Johnny]

16. 3:08, Romney supports Akin's decision to stay in. 3:09, Romney demands Akin drop out.
