Akin Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot

Todd Akin sure looks silly in this new story from KWMU about House Republicans' very new outrage with "deem and pass" procedures: 

"It basically takes us down the primrose path of all these sniveling socialist states in Europe," says Akin. "They are struggling economically because they've got the government doing all these free hand outs and are a magnet for all kinds of immigrants from the Third World."

Despite the criticism the GOP is also no stranger to the "Deem and Pass" measure, using the same tactic dozens of times when they held congressional majorities.

How many times did Akin tell GOP leaders like Roy Blunt they were taking American "down the primrose path of all these sniveling socialist states in Europe?"
