Louisiana Republican Flees Interview When Asked About Obama's Birthplace

A Republican congressional candidate fled her interview with a major election-forecasting group after being asked why she believed global warming was a hoax and whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States, according to a new report in The Washington Post.

Awesome.

See what we did there?

Classic GOP.

On Wednesday, House Republicans sued President Obama for acting on his own without approval from Congress. On Thursday, House Republicans told President Obama he should act on his own to fix the border crisis.

The buried headline in that story is "Mittens definitely not running in 2016". One ass whipping was enough I guess.

Louisiana Republican Flees Interview When Asked About Obama's Birthplace

finally got around to watching her 4+min video, where she denies what *is* (nevermind it *was before*, which is usually an indicator it could happen again), and answers with effectively "if i were in charge, i would economically destabilize the ME, russia, and EUR, b/c usa! usa! usa!..."

what a twat

Wow. I had to watch it after you mentioned it. This is a funny article that has the video as well.

The most frightening candidate I’ve met in seven years interviewing congressional hopefuls

So Perry and Christie are going to run ? This could be a comedic gold mine. The bloviated and the bloated.

Whitney has only raised $123,000 to date (fourth in the GOP field), but she has sought to boost her profile and appeal to conservative donors with a slickly made YouTube video entitled “GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX” (84,000 views so far). In the video, Whitney gleefully and confidently asserts that the theory of global warming is the “greatest deception in the history of mankind” and that “any 10-year-old” can disprove it with a simple household thermometer.

a rectal thermometer?

Out of Touch GOP Rapidly Seals Fate With Majority of Ordinary Americans

Right now, GOP hopes for victories do not rest on their ability to appeal democratically to the majority of voters. They hinge entirely on successful gerrymandering and voter suppression policies that reduce the turnout of ordinary Americans. That means their hopes for political success in the future rest on very, very thin ice. And -- amazingly -- they seem to be doing everything they can to make the ice that separates them from complete political marginality thinner and thinner.

She would first need to remove her head.

As a white man, I feel really oppressed in this country. Easily getting job offers and taxis, not asked to show ID when I vote, never getting pulled over by the cops, being told I am smart not well spoken, barely able to scare senior citizens. This sucks.

his whole argument was a red herring to the original question

"And I said, 'I need to take a couple more bites and we'll do an interview,' and then I was told we had to leave and I had to do the interview. So actually I stood about 10 feet from those people who were doing sort of a kamikaze interview and I stood 10 feet from them and did another interview."

I guess it sounds better than "I had to drop a deuce".

The "Welcoming" party.

 

[jimmydean]

She should be making him a sandwich.

For months, Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell has accused his Democratic opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes, of engaging in a “war on coal,” casting her as an outright enemy of one of the state’s most vital industries.
But while McConnell presents himself as a defender of Kentucky coal mining, a member of his own family who serves as a key campaign surrogate is taking a role in an organization that funds one of the most aggressive anti-coal campaigns in the country

McConnell’s wife, former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, sits on the board of directors of Bloomberg Philanthropies, which has plunged $50 million into the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal initiative, an advocacy effort with the expressed goal of killing the coal industry.

While I do not doubt the noodly power of the pasta pirate, I think it would require a real effort on his part to grant Teddy Teabag the opportunity to get donkey punched by Clinton's (really) old lady.

Having said that, the list of potential GOP presidential candidates seems every bit as bleak as it has for the last 2 elections. IMO, someone like Joe Huntsmen could present a legitimate challenge assuming he could navigate the burning hoops of extremism in the primaries and build a big enough war chest to challenge the Clinton machine.

But as it stands, it looks like the GOP will continue to be a local party only and have no real shot at the white house.

Rick Perry Was Just Indicted In Texas. Here's Why.
An Austin grand jury just hit the governor with two felony charges.

And the felony will likely steal more from the taxpayers:

too flimsy for even this liberal

"bites the dust"? looks like just an indictment to me

funny how you object to his defense using tax dollars, but not to others of non-R stripes. how about this: loser pays. deal?

 

[dante]

Yeah, it's not like a sitting governor of Texas has ever been indicted for vetoing funding in the state budget as political retaliation before...

edit: By the way, intent has EVERYTHING to do with whether something is illegal or not.

I can fire a woman for no reason at all.
I can't fire a woman because she refused to sleep with me.

Vetoing funding is fine. Vetoing funding after threatening to do so unless the person did what you wanted is, well, illegal.

 

[jimmydean]

Nice, the taxpayers pick up the tab. I hope they lock his ass up.

The grand jury met for months before handing down its indictment, and Perry's $450 per-hour defense attorney was paid using state funds. Buzbee said the public will continue footing the bill for the governor's now-pricier legal team, though he said a private foundation could eventually be established to handle some of the costs.

Did you know blacks can write books?

“I am going to try to encourage everybody I can to buy a book written by a black journalist. His name is Jason Riley. He wrote a book called Please Stop Helping Us, talking about how all the handouts to blacks have kept blacks in the poorhouse. And I’ll tell you what, I am going to make it my task to buy 15 to 20 copies of that book and hand it out to some black leaders to read.”

Read this WaPo article this morning and was pretty depressed/shocked reading it. Thanks for letting me know that that's just a fiction and that it's all really the fault of the darkies.

Incidentally, Beverly Hills, Missouri has a population of 571. Its City Hall and police station share a building with a pharmacy. Yet in 2013, the town handed out 3,250 traffic tickets, and issued another 1,085 citations for violations of non-traffic ordinances. Total revenue generated by the town’s municipal court: $221,164, or $387 for each of its residents.

 

[jimmydean]

I hope this sticks...

Looking at the Rick Perry case, some key take aways that might point to him going down for it.

The indictment was not brought by the Tavis County DA. Nor were any other Democrats involved. It’s worth quoting at length from Smith at the Texas Tribune:

Not a single Democratic official was involved at any point in the process, except to recuse him or herself. That’s what the victim of Perry’s “offers,” Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, did. So did District Judge Julie Kocurek.

Kocurek referred the criminal complaint to Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield, a Republican and Perry appointee. Stubblefield could have dismissed the complaint. Instead, he assigned it to Judge Bert Richardson, also a Republican. He, too, could have dismissed the complaint. Instead, he appointed conservative, well-respected former federal prosecutor McCrum as special prosecutor. Republican U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison once recommended McCrum for the job of U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas. McCrum could have dismissed the complaint. Instead, he took it to a grand jury.

This is still my favorite part of this mess.

Maureen McDonnell, wife of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R), told Ann Romney that a drug from the company run by the man she and her husband are accused of taking bribes from could help cure her multiple sclerosis, McDonnell’s former campaign manager Phil Cox testified on Monday.
