Tea Party Republican Richard Mourdock: Go Away and Quit Embarrassing our State

When will Tea Party Republican State Treasurer Richard Mourdock finally go away and quit embarrassing the State of Indiana?

• First, he tried to bankrupt Chrysler, which would have cost tens of the thousands of Hoosiers there jobs. 
• Then, he defeats Sen. Richard Lugar, one the most respected members in the history of the U.S. Senate, in the Republican primary, with the Tea Party Republicans in Harrison County leading the way.
• Next, he said  that pregnancies resulting from rape are "something that God intended to happen," despite the "horrible situation" from which they derived.
• Now, Mourdock, who did serve in the military, despite turning 18 in 1969, during the height of the Vietnam draft, is now saying the U.S. is going the way of Nazi Germany. Really? One day after honoring our troops who landed at Normandy 70 years ago? 

Indiana Democratic Chairman John Zody called Mourdock's comments "ugly." "I have an important lesson for Richard Mourdock. Your exit as a publicly-elected officeholder in Indiana couldn't come any sooner," Zody said. "Not only has your Party endorsed your candidacy in the past, your ugly words don't belong anywhere in the Hoosier political dialogue and should be derided by Gov. Pence and our state's leadership immediately."(Link to Indystar article)

We agree with Chairman Zody. Go away Richard Mourdock. Quit embarrassing our state. But don't count on him going away. His deputy, Kelly Mitchell, won the Republican nomination for State Treasurer. Add to that, the Tea Party holds a firm grip on the GOP.
