Mitt Romney to Anti-Abortion Doctor Behind Akin’s ‘Legitimate Rape’ Claim: ‘We Agree On Almost Every

Mitt Romney to Anti-Abortion Doctor Behind Akin’s ‘Legitimate Rape’ Claim: ‘We Agree On Almost Everything’ | Even as Republicans try to distance themselves from Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) and his explosive comments about “legitimate rape,” more evidence has emerged linking Mitt Romney himself to the controversial doctor and anti-abortion activist behind Akin’s discredited claim that rape does not often result in pregnancy. Dr. John Willke, one of the founders of the anti-abortion movement and Akin’s source, told the Daily Telegraph today that he had a private meeting with Romney in Cincinnati last October. Willke said that Romney thanked him for his support and told him, “we agree on almost everything.” It was revealed earlier this week that Romney had also touted Willke’s support during his 2008 presidential campaign, even referring to him as an “important surrogate.” The Romney campaign declined to comment to the Daily Telegraph about Dr. Willke’s comments.

"Legitimate" rape?? 

Hey-  It’s the same thing that Ryan has proposed, time and time again,

with his “forcible” rape legislation. And now... he’s trying to run from it.

If the Republicans win, the rich will rape this COUNTRY...."legitimately".

If the Republicans win, the rich will abort Medicare .

If the Republicans win, the rich will abort Social Security,

If the Republicans win, the rich will lower their own taxes EVEN MORE,
and screw the rest of us.

Cause Lyin' Ryan and More-mon-ey Romney
are the Conservative Caviar Candidates. 

They're the DREAM team for the super-rich. 

And apparently they don’t have enough in this great country  - they want it ALL!  

But they're the NIGHTMARE team for seniors, the middle-class ,

for women’s rights,  for students receiving Pell grants,

and for all the rest of us who are struggling 

.....while the big corporations send jobs and profits overseas, 

and the super-rich like Romney avoid paying their fair share. 

Romney-Ryan have billions from their buddies for non-stop ads.

They can fool some of the people some of the time.

But no more. Cause we’re ON to you guys!  And we vote.
