Indiana Republican: When life begins from rape, "God intended" it


By Susan Guyett

INDIANAPOLIS | Wed Oct 24, 2012 12:23am EDT

(Reuters) - Richard Mourdock, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Indiana, said in a debate on Tuesday that "even when life begins with that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen."

So according to GOP candidate Mourdock, these 5 rapes were what God intended? Sick mot***f*****!

The GOP is our homegrown Taliban!

dontcha think?

A Republican that didn't think just lying about it would exonerate him? That's the part that so surprising.
