A couple things: First, Mister Mourdock is a Republican. Second, he did all of us a favor by introducing his opinion with the words, "I think." That does take the edge off, doesn't it? Perhaps not. After the debate, Mourdock further explained his comment. "Are you trying to suggest somehow that God preordained rape, No, I don't
think that," said Mourdock, according to The Associated Press. "Anyone
who would suggest that is just sick and twisted. No, that's not even
close to what I said." Or maybe that kind of statement is open to interpretation, not unlike the stories and parables of the Bible.
It certainly does make one wonder why the rest of the Republican party hasn't taken the lead from their man Mitt. If you get a lead, or something close to it, keep your mouth shut and smile. Of course, this doesn't make for very interesting debates, unless you're a fan of horses and bayonets. Or maybe that's in the Book of Mormon.
