showing he is one point ahead of the candidate. could akin actually win this thing? i think absolutely not. what i would like to offer, thomas, is the political analysis. mitt romney has a problem on his hands as long as the native continues that the republican party, which is mostly white and male has declared war on women. how do you come out of forceable rape and non-forceable rape and date rape? the president has a 15-point lead on the gender gap. i think mitt romney was tepid yesterday in the denouncing of akin. he said it was reprehensible. he needed to stand up like the leader of the republican party and say this is a new republican party.
old, that would be a legitimate question. he s not. he s like 42. to quote animal house , the republicans should be asking themselves what the hell we supposed to do, you morons, because that s how we re acting. can i ask you a question there, joe? no, you can t. the republican party it was 2011. a long time ago. a long time ago. back in the distant past. president obama yesterday stopped by the briefing room making a rare and unannounced appearance to take questions of the press corps. this is what our president said. the views expressed were offensive. rape is rape. and the idea that we should be parsing and qualifying and slicing what types of rape we re
for most women rape is rape. i m sure the plit clal problematic thing for ryan was they co-sponsored a bill that tried to make a distinction between two different kinds of rape. what year was that? i don t know. it was a while back, right? come on, joe, don t. i m asking a legitimate question, mika, just relax! people at the table right now will tell you you don t want to go there. i don t want to know what year this bill was sponsored? no. i m asking what year the bill was sponsored. when did the jets win the super bowl? can i ask that question? when did the germans bomb pearl harbor? can i ask that question? it was another great job belushi movie. if paul ryan was 85 years
when you got to go, you got do go. a group of people fed up with the lack of bathrooms at a beach in adelaide, australia, brought their own and sat down for a while. how is this for a luxury car? this rare 1936 mercedes benz sold for, are you ready? almost $12 million at auction in california. the 540 k roadster, a dozen of these cars left in the world. that wraps up this hour of jansing & co. thomas roberts is next. good morning. good morning, everybody. the agenda next hour is the gop twisting itself into nknots on the issue of abortion? the human rights amendment to outlaw abortion and even in cases of rape or incest. that flies in the face of the romney/ryan ticket. we will look at this and republicans ramp up the pressure
if todd akin said a couple days ago on tv i m against abortion, even with the exception, guess what? we wouldn t be talking about it today because we knew that was his position. and now you ve done this three times. it s a great deflection to ride out the clock here. my point is they had paul ryan call him because paul ryan really needs to separate himself from this guy because he co-sponsored that legislation. never said what you said. never. you re right. he s not dumb enough to say something like that. whether he believes the biological thing is not the point. they co-sponsored legislation that tried to define rape. it wasn t they tried to outlaw abortion in all cases of rape. they tried to carve out and make a distinction between some other form of rape and something they called forceable rape.
