And then deport the sun!

She’s already forced to teach high school math. What could be worse than that?

\*Now \*I’m bookmarking this thread for the next round of librul hypocrisy.

(I taught high school biology. I know just how awful the punishments math teachers endure.)

I’m not going to post links, because it is dumb. But many in the liberal blogosphere were all up-in -arms about Romney cheating during the debate, citing video showing him puling out notes, which were illegal. Except, it was a hankie.

I’m not going to post links, because it is dumb. But this morning many people claimed to see a flock of pigs fly over, and they were towing a banner saying ‘Liberal Hypocrisy’. For variable values of “many”. And “pigs”.

Oh, and it’s a handkerchief. Does my pinko vote count?

I’m not sure that this is the right place for it. The stupid in question is officially a Democrat but is hardly liberal. In any case I submit for your approval the case of before you the campaign of [Mark Clayton Democratic candidate for Senate](http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/decision2012/2012s-worst-candidate-with-mark-clayton-tennessee-democrats-hit-bottom/2012/10/22/77da926e-1b8a-11e2-a146-ccabc9c85c53_story.html?hpid=z9) from the great state of Tennessee. Whose main qualification seems to be having his name begin with a “C” so that he was at the top of the Democratic primary ballot.

Regarding his campaign:

> [@](#):
>
> The Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Tennessee has no campaign headquarters, a fundraising drive stuck at $278 and one yard sign. Not one type of yard sign. One sign. And with the election just days away, he has not actually put that sign in a yard. Instead, it resides inside candidate Mark Clayton’s pickup. “VOTE FOR,” the sign says. The rest is hidden by the seats.

but this doesn’t bother him because as he says,

> [@](#):
>
> Jesus did not have a campaign staff. And he had the most successful campaign in human history, … Jesus didn’t even have pictures or a Web site.

Regarding his political views they are not quite boilerplate Democrat

> He is unusual in opposing abortion rights and same-sex marriage, but he’s downright exceptional in saying that the Transportation Security Administration “mandates [transsexuals] and homosexuals grabbing children in their stranger-danger zones.”

and

> During Clayton’s failed Senate run in 2008, his Web site suggested that the U.S. government might be replaced with a “North American Union” and that Google was working against him at the behest of the Chinese government.

Yeah, Clayton was the reason I was forced to vote for Green Party candidate for the first time in my life. :mad:

I was deprived of the ability to vote for a Democrat in my senate _or_ House race. Grrr.
