Jeff Flake, U.S. Senate Hopeful, Chastises Congressman Todd Akin Over "Legitimate Rape" Comments, Yet He Co-Sponsored Legislation with Phrase "Forcible Rape"

I've been to Flake's office about 7 times in the last 2 years,  he is never available when he's in town. He doesn't do town halls, except the one time I was aware of he was charging people to go to them...we pay his salary, when he comes home we should have access to him by appointment or by town halls and neither is available to his constituents.  I have written him countless times with questions; no response. I have emailed countless times and all I have ever gotten was a standard robo-response that doesn't even mention what I was talking about.  He is useless to the people of Arizona and does not support his constituents. He is out of touch with us and definitely not a supporter of women's rights.  I don't care for John McCain's political views either, but at least McCain does hold town halls, will answer questions, will listen to your concerns.  Flake has never done any of those things.

Let's make a change for the better in Arizona!

The real irony is a village voice blogger is chastizing anyone for semantics regarding rape and exploitation of women and girls when they work for a company that profits from the sexual exploitation and rape of women and girls on their backpage ads.

Flake is another Republican who lies, flip-flops, and prefers to ignore the will of the voters.  Like other bona fide right-wing GOP-ers, Flake endorses policies which are anti-American in nature and anti-democracy in essence.  Like his fellow party members, Flake is devoid of humanity, clearly lacking in morality, and needs more than a few lessons in humility, compassion and empathy.  

While Phoenix New Times has yet to address this issue, here's a solid indication what Flake thinks of his constituents, the Arizona voters.

Was this guy High when he made this Remark honestly  would you what him to represent, any thing? 

Akin: "It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. You know, I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child."

The "legitimate rape" comment is disgusting, but its a red hearing.  The real meat of his quote is the end of the comment.  It is clear from the last sentence that he feels that an exception for rape is not appropraite because "the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the [embryo or fetus]."  This is consistent with Ryan's position on abortion and the recently adopted Republican platform - it doesn't matter how conception occurred, the moment conception occurrs the resulting zygot (later to become an embryo and then a fetus] has become a "child" in the eyes of the Republican party and deserves protection. 

The Republicans were quick to jump on Akin in the hopes that the independent voters would be distracted by the "legitimate rape" portion of the quote and not notice the last sentence, which they hope to keep their little secret.

Paul Ryan in an interview earlier this week said, "I’m very proud of my pro-life record, and I’ve always adopted the idea that, the position that the method of conception doesn’t change the definition of life." in answer to a question of a woman's legal right to an abortion if she's raped.

He basically said that rape is just another form of conception.
