Republicans disavow Todd Akin and his views?


On the one hand, the Republicans were quick to bail on Todd Akin and his viewpoint on rape and conception for women last week, sure. They quickly disavowed his statement and pulled money to and support for him.

Nearly immediately.

But what did they do today, at their national convention in Tampa?

At 2 p.m. today, Republicans they voted on their party platform -- officially adopting Todd Akin's no-choice-with-no-exceptions position on abortion.

Apparently, it's okay to take this stance, you just aren't supposed to go public with it and tell anyone.

Bloody hypocrites.
