I know, I know, more Republican bashing; but they make it so damned easy!
Please, go ahead and try to show equivalence on the Democratic side.

And here’s the email: http://www.progressnownm.org/RogersEmail.jpg
But she only agreed to meet them so her staff could shoot them from ambush!
That’s gotta be satire, right? Something from the Onion that made it into the “real” news?
Also, who or what is the “JAJ” referred to in the first line?
I imagine there must have been a crisis at the RNC when the delegates realized there was one remaining voting bloc the party hadn’t managed to alienate yet.
Janice Arnold-Jones, she’s running for a Congressional seat in New Mexico.
So… let’s see if I have this right:
According to a Republican National Committee member Pat Rogers, a Governor of the State of New Mexico should not attend an annual New Mexico state tribal leader summit - a meeting which she is required by law to attend.
The reason she should not attend, according to the Republican, is that by attending the summit (which she is legally required to attend), she would be showing disrespect to a General who lived over 130 years ago, a General who was killed in 1876 by Lakota and Northern Cheyenne Indians in what is now the state of Montana.
This was a General whose field strategy field strategy was to use noncombatants at the encampments at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He intended to capture women, children, the elderly or disabled to serve as hostages and human shields
That General Custer.
Looks like Rogers definitely went off the reservation on this one!
The Republicans can’t find a Democratic equivalent. They can’t find an equivalent to the Akins idiocy and they can’t find an equivalent to the Lubbock, TX retardation.
I just hope more throwbacks keep exposing their let’s-go-back-to-the-good-ole-days philosophy. Maybe it will enervate the cynical and the apathetic to actually vote this November.
So, does this fucknut want to Sioux the Governor, or does he just Hopi she goes away?
How?
Psst…that word doesn’t mean what you think it means.
I do agree with the substance of your post.
You win the double entendre prize for the week!
:blushes and hides:
For what it is worth, I have misused that word in the same manner as you did.
On topic, this seems rather hard to justify from any sane and rational perspective.
Perhaps some denizen from the parallel dimension wherein lie the enormous minds behind the current GOP can appear here and explain how this makes any sense whatsoever.
Defending Custer?
Really?
You dishonor Generals by calling Custer one!
Custard is dishonored by Custer.
Bumper sticker from the 60’s: Custer Had It Coming.
I know what you mean. Lately I feel like at some point I somehow woke up in the universe depicted in the Onion.
OK, I’m going to have to pray this was a really egregious case of “words in an e-mail can’t convey that you’re winking and laughing as you say it”. Because otherwise WTF? The Governor’s a REPUBLICAN – and a woman and a Latina. So you got those segments besides the Native Americans getting hit. Way to *&^%$# go, Rogers! Keep adding votes!
