Then again, Sanchez may just generally have insensitivity issues. She started off her Senate campaign by insulting Native Americans: > **[Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez Insults Native Americans While Talking to...](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-rep-loretta-sanchez-insults-native-americans-while-talking-n360271)** > > Sanchez, having just entered the race for U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Barbara Boxer, put her foot in her mouth Saturday with a racist gesture. ---

And she’s in danger of losing her position, which _proves_ that Dems are intolerant! No such bigoted intolerance exists in the Republican Party, she would be welcome! ---

Okay, stupid liberal thing, said by a liberal (one presumes) and posted here by a liberal, so nobody gets to cry “hypocrisy.” The link actually points to an ACLU web site, so nobody gets to say, “They’re hiding this.” [Loring Wirbel, board member of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Colorado chapter and co-chair of the ACLU’s Colorado Springs chapter stupidly said that anyone who was going to vote for Trump should be shot before they can vote.](http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/10/colorado-aclu-board-member-shoot-trump-voters-before-election-day/) Yes, this was a stupid thing to say, and contradicts the ACLU’s actual values. ---

To be fair, he’s not saying the _government_ should shoot them. Perhaps he’s (badly) endorsing the exercise of 2nd Amendment rights. 😛 ---

Some things are so obviously just talking shit that it’s not even really stupid. Only things people might actually mean should count. ACLU lady gets a pass on my authority. ---

The other guy at least had a realistic shot at being elected president. “Cruz” is a word that means those flecks in the santorum. ---
