Stupid Republican idea of the day

We don’t stone adulters in Muskogee
We don’t chop a hand for a felony…

We do see the irony, but who the hell are we gonna send? That nobody Alvin Greene? Truly, South Carolinians simply don’t care. And for that, they deserve that rat bastard DeMint. It kills me.

That would be fine if he was only fucking over SC. But in the Senate, he’s fucking over ALL of us. And WE don’t deserve that, dammit.

and considering the state of politics in South Carolina currently, do you honestly think Alvin Greene could make things worse for you? :smiley:

If Alvin Greene sits, never says a word, and never votes in the Senate, he will be an improvement. A BIG improvement.

There IS another candidate against Demint. Tom Clements of the Green Party. He’s got my vote. No way I’d vote for either Demint or Greene, and Clements would be a fine senator - metric miles better than Demint!

It’s our own fault, really. South Carolina ASKED to be let out of the club, but we said no. I blame the Republicans.

Fake pimp from ACORN videos tries to ‘punk’ CNN correspondent

Christ this guy is a bag-o-douche. He was going to ‘seduce’ her? Who does he think he is? Leon Phelps?

Nobody ever wants to throw THEIR bums out, just everybody else’s bums. And South Carolinians have a long history of political idiocy (see Thurmond, Strom).

I say let 'em secede. We’re better off without them, and I say that as a native. Just let me get my family out first :slight_smile:

Fair enough. And whom do you think is actually going to be the senator from SC next session?

Clements has got a better shot than Greene… Unless there aren’t any more election machine malfunctions again.

With this, I cannot argue.

I’ll look more into this. If he’s not a bumbling idiot or a corporate or religious stooge, he’ll have mine as well.

IIRC, the SC Democratic party pretty much endorsed Clements. Of course, their by-laws prohibit them from outright endorsing him or giving him money. But any time someone asks, they mention Clements’ name, and mention that they cannot officially endorse him.

Sarah Palin spends all day making a Face Book post.

Fucking endorsements, how do they work?

From Todd Palin’s email:

So if I’m parsing this correctly, Todd is asking Joe Miller to climb into a cup of coffee belonging to one of Sarah Palin’s shoes?

We have a few recently that should be included you for completeness

Multiple Republican candidates coming out against minimum wage. A policy 80% of Americans support.

Add to that the Republican party chair Micheal Steele didn’t know what the minimum wage was when asked.

Jim DeMint has once again come out against gays or single women teaching in our schools. It was a really stupid idea last time he said it but I guess he needed to reiterate it just before an election.

Lies lies and more lies. The random untruths the candidates this time around they think they can get away with. If you are recorded saying something it’s pretty provable that you are lying when you claim later you never said that. It’s getting really sad. At least in the past all politicians would at least defend themselves saying ‘that’s not what I meant.’ Now we have people simply claiming I never said that despite the video’s showing otherwise.

Ok, I’m not getting this. The comments you cite are stupid and offensive and bad policy, but lies? Why aren’t they simply truthful, evil, idiots?

Sorry I didn’t take some time to provide specific examples of the lying.

Incidents such as Sharron Angle. who has been the biggest offender being caught on film. claiming she never said they should privatize VA benefits when she has been films saying exactly that.

The others just lying in general.

Paladino claiming he has information about his opponent having extramarital affairs when he can’t produce any because there is none.

Christine O’Donnell claiming she has secret information on China planning to take over the US.

Allen West claiming he has higher security clearance then the president of the US

Fair enough, except for Christine O’Connell. She has been very careful to keep the voices in her head secret.

Let’s not forget Jan Brewer and the headless corpses in the Nevada desert.
