Joe. My. God. points out this interesting bifurcation in GOP politics: Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) has done the only thing a self-respecting Republican can do in the Todd Akin situation:
"As a husband and father of two young women, I found Todd Akin's comments about women and rape outrageous, inappropriate and wrong. There is no place in our public discourse for this type of offensive thinking. Not only should he apologize, but I believe Rep. Akin's statement was so far out of bounds that he should resign the nomination for US Senate in Missouri."
Meanwhile, Tom McClusky, Vice President for Government Affairs for Family Research Council, tweeted:
Conservatives would be much better off if Scott Brown and Ron Johnson resigned. I prefer my senators with loyalty and backbone
Ho. Ly. She. It. If your politician gives any lip at all to the Family Research Council, they're giving leeway to an organization that is ... well ... I'm not sure "blatantly endorsing rape" is much of an overstatement.
The worst part? There are people voting for Akin.
