Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign said on Wednesday that they disagreed with Indiana GOP Senate candidate Richard Mourdock’s statement that pregnancy from rape “is something that God intended to happen,” but the former Massachusetts governor still supports him. Mourdock said during a debate Tuesday night that he did not support abortion in cases of rape or incest. “I believe life begins at conception,” he explained. “The only exception I have for to have an abortion is in the case of the life of the mother. I struggled with myself for a long time but I came to realize life is that gift from God, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape. It is something that God intended to happen.” Romney has endorsed Mourdock and recorded an advertisement personally encouraging voters to support him. Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s super PAC also donated $5,000 to the tea party-backed candidate in June. In August, Romney appeared at a campaign event with Mourdock in Evansville, Indiana. “This is a man that I want to see in Washington to make sure that we cannot just talk about changing things, but actually have the votes to get things changed,” Romney said. Democrats have called on Romney to rescind his endorsement of Mourdock and immediately pull the advertisement. But Romney campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul insisted on Wednesday that the former governor still backed Mourdock. “Gov. Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr. Mourdock’s comments do not reflect Gov. Romney’s views,” Saul said in a statement. “We disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest but still support him.” For his part, Mourdock held a press conference on Wednesday and said his comments had been taken out of context. “I made a comment that I made, quite honestly, from the deepest roots and the greatest base of my faith,” the Senate candidate told reporters. “I’m a much more humble person this morning because so many people mistook, twisted, came to misunderstand the points that I was trying to make.” “I spoke from my heart, I spoke with my principle, I spoke from my faith, and if others wish to turn those words and somehow use them against me, again, that’s what’s wrong with Washington today,” he added. “Anyone who goes to the video tape and views [it] understands fully what I meant.” “I don’t think God wants rape, I don’t think he wants that at all because rape is evil. I abhor evil. I want to assure every woman who sees this and reads the story that I abhor it and I’m confident God abhors it.” In a conference call with reporters on Wednesday afternoon, Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz connected Mourdock’s comments to Republican Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin’s claim that women could not get pregnant through “legitimate rape.” “Unfortunately, these types of comments have become part and parcel of the modern Republican Party’s platform towards women’s health,” she said. “Congressional Republicans like Mitt Romney’s running mate, Paul Ryan, have worked to outlaw all abortions and even narrow the definition of rape.” “Try as he may to distance himself, Mitt Romney has demonstrated time and time again that he is a part of the extreme right wing of the GOP with the likes of Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin, especially when it comes to issues effecting women and their bodies. Just this weekend, Romney endorsee Steve King questioned whether birth control is even legal. There is definitely a pattern here.”

LOL... 'Crickets chirping' from you knuckle-dragging mormon cult worshippers.
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Then Michelle should have had 2 more abortions. The low class negro is getting kicked out of the White House.
So now you advocate abortion? You really are a despicable piece of shit and of course you know that.
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Obama should have been aborted. If your mom had one you wouldn't be missed either. Just saying.
Die you mother-fucker and delete my account you coward. I'm finished here...
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Well you wouldn't. You would never had been known. You must be upset because you know your guy is going to lose. You are going Matthews on us now.
You join the list of little pussies who couldn't hack it here.
See ya fool. Best find someone else to move topic in this joint. Never again shall I post on this forum...I swear to my Lord on that.
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... A proud and honorable list, indeed!
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Never again shall I post on this forum...I swear to my Lord on that. Take care Brian. Thanks for posting the articles. I enjoyed many of them. Sorry if it got a bit out of hand tonight. But you drew the first "blood".
Ok I looked back over stuff. For what it is worth I shouldn't have said some of the things I said. Sorry.
I've scuttled all my ping lists and I'm finished with this joint. Was fun for a bit but when you start advocating the 'abortion' of the Obama girls, well...there is no more. Now you make sure you go in and edit all the shit you said to cover your ass...coward that you are. Wouldn't want anyone to know (like they don't already) what a vile person you are. Find a decent Church to repent in...you need one, seriously. Carry on...
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... So Obama can advocate murdering people with drones? Abortion on demand? But when I joke and say his daughters should be aborted you get all upset. I thought it was something wonderful. That is the way you liberals describe it. You know a god given right. You're a hypocrite. You are voting for someone who actually makes millions of real abortions possible.
You're both pu$$y's, who can dish it out, but not take it. BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!! The aholes you worship ain't worth shiite!!! LOL It always gets crazy around election time. Get a grip, you dips and vote third party!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Now you make sure you go in and edit all the shit you said to cover your ass...coward that you are. Wouldn't want anyone to know (like they don't already) what a vile person you are. Find a decent Church to repent in...you need one, seriously. Carry on... No decent church will have him. Those with borderline personality disorders tend to have word obsessions. 'Abortion' and 'baby killer' are Stone's.

The Christian Taliban diocese of Ohio might give him a chance.
TBL has become Neocon central. I can't believe how the posters there were suckered by that foreign poster who was also moderator, but then they should be used to it as they are sure being suckered by the GOP.

Yes, the Confidence man from England expose' was quite eye opening for lots of those folks. I was taken in by Deep in the Hurtgen Forest circa 1998 and refused to believe he was a fraud for a few days until it finally sunk in. Mittwit's advisors are mostly Neocons too.
Why do you hate babies. Did one spit up on you when you were holding it or something. That is no reason to kill them. Me I love kids and babies. I don't care for murderers.
Me I love kids and babies. I don't care for murderers. See, I told you so. And Stone.... you need to stop being a liar. You do not love any form of humanity or animals. You love the power and control you think you have over them.

president plague - aids - poison ! To: governsleastgovernsbest Obama and Biden were in Dayton on Tuesday and the local media has ... studiously avoided giving an estimate of crowd size --- in it’s reports. The venue chosen required parking downtown, difficult to access and expensive, then hopping a shuttle bus to the venue. The photos posted on the newspaper’s website showed three buses with perhaps 30 people in line. In another photo, it appeared that a mere three portable toilets were provided for the crowd. The venue itself would not hold more than 1000 people comfortably. It is also the local homosexual hangout. 26 posted on Thursday, October 25, 2012 4:48:29 AM by Wiser now (Socialism does not eliminate poverty, it guarantees it.) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2949962/posts
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
They probably thought that the Con in his/her name stood for Conservative. He appeared to be a likeable chap but he put forth one too many heroic tales and once he had a bunch of them hooked............. ......He created that last scenario which made no sense to me. He really knows the Tea Bagger mindset, especially the ones that have been through the FR propaganda mill. And put it on the internet for all to see.

Oh crap, don't tell me the best lib here has departed. I'm going to miss you, Brian, you appear to be a good man.

A poster on what has become a Neocon website, who was able to con the Romney supporters there.

Making such a statement infers that you know this "Tea Bagger mindset" as well... So please, do enlighten us with your intellect, and explain this "mindset."
Accepted. I don't believe for a heartbeat you are a bad person but we all let our forum voices overload our ass's. Besides, there is too much fun to be had in the next 2 weeks to not play... OK, it might be the peyote button talking but...life is good. See you on the top side Stone, you put up with a lot from me, and it is appreciated. See you in the morning.!
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Have a good night.
Every night that I see the morning is a 'good night'...
