Wingnut 1 - Oh dear lord...Romney invested in a company that disposes of fetuses?

Wingnut 2 - Oh my, this doesn't fit within our ridged pro-life world view. What shall we do?

Wingnut 1 - It is indeed a conundrum.

Wingnut 2 - Wait, is Obama still a black man?

Wingnut 1 - Why yes, he is!

Wingnut 2 - Problem solved!!
