It's a complicated, republican thing. You'll have to ask one of them to explain it. I don't really get it myself.
your name is on that statement. It belongs to you.
I'm not surprised that repugs are now pretending that the idiotic statement about legitimate rape was never made. Todd Aiken (R) of Missouri made the statement a few years ago.
And you like to pretend he speaks for the republican party and members because it serves your partisan purpose to do so, not because of any truth to the claim.
does it ever occur to you that it is odd you have to spend so much time and energy being dishonest, to score any points against your ideological enemies?
if the truth is not on your side, then you really need to ask yourself if you are on the right side.
