“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.” –Todd Akin, Republican Congressman from Missouri who is seeking the Senate nomination

Dear Democrat,

Mitt Romney and other Republican leaders calling for Todd Akin to resign his campaign need to take in more territory starting with Romney’s VP candidate and including newly minted right wing darling Ted Cruz. The only distinction between Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan and Todd Akin is that Akin put down the dog whistle and stated the policy out loud. Akin’s disgusting rhetoric matches the policies of the Republican Party.

Have you seen John Cornyn Dressing-Up as a Cowboy?

Let's look at the other ways he's pretending:

• He voted himself a pay raise, but voted seven times against raising the minimum wage.
• Cornyn is ranked as the 81st (out of 100) most effective Senator.
• Cornyn voted against troops' body armor and to cut veterans' benefits.
