That’s far from stupid. Maybe we do need a “cartoonishly, moustache-twirlingly evil political strategy of the day” however.
Black people can still vote? What is this, 2008 or something?
Shh. There’s a surprise planned for them on Nov 6th.
You know, a whole bunch of them can fucking read! Nice work, race traitor!
San Pablo City Councilman Paul Morris claims he was assaulted, knocked unconscious, driven (in his own car) to a race track five miles away, and abandoned.
I just want you to know, I appreciated this. 
I’m missing the “stupid” and “idea” part of that story. Or maybe this is *The Shitty thing of the day that happened to a Republican *thread?
His story stinks worse than week-old sashimi. And is twice as fishy.
Yup. The thing about his story that seems the most improbable to me is that he was treated in hospital for a “minor concussion” and a bruised tailbone. Yet he says he was hit hard enough on the head for him to be completely unconscious, was somehow dragged/carried to his car, driven somewhere else and woke up sometime later, and was so groggy he had difficulty making himself understood to a 911 operator. IRL (not movies), it takes a significant concussion, likely including a skull fracture, to knock someone out like that.
[Morbo] Concussions Do Not Work That Way! [/Morbo]
Exactly. Had he said he had had a seizure due to some medication, causing him to trip and fall and then general confusion when he came to, this would all be between him and his doctor. Instead he presents a highly implausible scenario which initiates a police investigation attempting to either track down the assailant or show that the Right Honourable Gentleman is full of shit. In the latter case, he sets himself up to being charged with making false statements to the po-po.
Any medical-types give an off-the-cuff prognosis for someone who was knocked out for an hour and a half?
Is there some local context I’m missing? He’s anti-gambling? The parking lot is a mecca for Marxist hookers? He just happened to have a box of files that were recently subpoenaed but are now “lost” to a robbery? He’s a narcoleptic in a staunchly anti-narcoleptic district? What’s missing?
Yeah, I’m not seeing the point of the lie either.
Well, I didn’t say I saw the point of the lie (if there is one). Just that his story sounds pretty strange and implausible.
Not sure if this is a stupid Republican idea, or just a stupid Fox News idea, but one of today’s Cracked columns points out an editorial choice which is just mind-boggling in its stupidity;
[QUOTE=Seanbaby]
FoxNews.com’s style and beauty editor Amber Milt found an article for children, stole it, and presented it to Fox News readers as erotic material.

Erm… only two of the things from the kids’ article are in the Fox one.
Yesterday Marketplace estimated that it costs about a million bucks a day to run the House, and since this vote takes they whole day with grandstanding this crap cost the American taxpayer $32 million (giving the first one to blow off steam.) That’s more than Vegas parties. Shit, they could give some poor deserving rich people a bigger tax break with that money.
4 things were either directly ripped off or altered, either way it’s pretty obvious that she read that article and just re-wrote it (especially obvious considering none of her pranks are at all “spicy” for a relationship):
Glued coin
Gummy worm apple
Putting tape over appliances to make them useless
food coloring in foods
In his federal disclosure form filed as part of his presidential bid Mitt said, "Mr. Romney retired from Bain Capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. " . . .
Yet,
when Romney was running for governor of Massachusetts and trying to establish his residency, his sworn testimony was that he sat on the board of the LifeLike Co., a dollmaker that was a Bain investment during the period, remained on the board of the Staples Corporation and Marriott International, and also noted that he regularly traveled back to Massachusetts on business trips.
Doesn’t it seem as if the man has an extremely expedient view of what the truth is and what his opinions should be depending on the circumstances?
I’m not sure that this can be hung around the neck of the whole Republican party but it is stupid, and a bit strange. In short, the person selected in the primary to run for the seat in the state senate for suburban Cedar Rapids has withdrawn from the election. She says she is pulling out because she has joined an alternative government as the appointed US Senator for the Republic of Iowa – an outfit distinct from the State of Iowa and the United States. Apparently it is this bunch’s position that there has been no legitimate government at any level since 1871.
The remarkable thing is that the ex-candidate was the GOP’s (read Tea Party’s) darling and the great hope to knock out the incumbent , a former TV personality, college professor, smart person and Godless liberal. So, Godless liberals-1, Sovereign Citizen fruit cakes - 0. Likewise, Republican candidate for Senate District 34 - 0.
