Son, it’s how Yankees pronounce “nigra.”
Except, the story appears to be a little bit in error: Lively is running as an Independent, presumably because that will allow him to get his names directly onto the general election ballot without having to futz around with those cussed primaries.
According to the wiki thing, Scott Lively was one of the people involved in the effort to get severe criminal penalties for homosexuality enacted in Uganda. If only we could get him to just stay over there.
I’ll keep an eye on him for us.
Look how many birds we get to kill with one Republican stonehead:

[li]In January, Grothman introduced legislation to eliminate a state requirement that workers get at least one day off per week. “Right now in Wisconsin, you’re not supposed to work seven days in a row, which is a little ridiculous because all sorts of people want to work seven days a week,” he told the Huffington Post. [/li][li][H]e argued that public employees should have to work on Martin Luther King Day. “Let’s be honest, giving government employees off has nothing to do with honoring Martin Luther King Day and it’s just about giving state employees another day off,” he told the Wisconsin State Journal. [/li][li]At a town hall in 2013, he took on Kwanzaa, which he said “almost no black people today care about” and was being propped up by “white left-wingers who try to shove this down black people’s throats in an effort to divide Americans.”[/li][li]He pushed through a repeal of the state’s equal pay bill because “You could argue that money is more important for men.”[/li][li]And he has pushed to pare back a program that provided free birth control, while floating a bill that would have labeled single parenthood, “a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.” Grothman justified the bill by contending that women choose to become single mothers and call their pregnancies “unplanned” only because it’s what people want to hear. “I think people are trained to say that ‘this is a surprise to me,’ because there’s still enough of a stigma that they’re supposed to say this,” he said in 2012.[/ul][/li]Lovely piece of work, huh? They’re just churnin’ 'em out in Wisconsin, aren’t they? What’s up with that state all of a sudden?
So many of them have an obsession with throat-shoving, always one thing or another being shoved down somebody’s throat.
(I know what you’re thinking, you deev. But that’s you thinking, I’m not thinking that…)
All of a sudden?
Remind me one day to tell you about a fella called “Tailgunner Joe.”
A BBQ Pit thread about GOP’s campaign against women points to a stupidity.

“If we truly want women to thrive,” Charen concurred, “we have to revive the marriage norm.”
This … would have the felicitous effect of making women more Republican.
… “women need feminism like a fish needs a bicycle.” Said Charen: “Women know … that they need protection and support. … Feminism disdains this natural urge.” Feminism also, Charen said, creates college campuses “where hooking up is considered normal and date rape is difficult to prevent.”…
“Rather than try to ban words like ‘bossy,’ let’s try to promote real leadership skills, like developing a thick skin,” she said.

The punch-line of stupidity comes from the end of the article:
This clearly is a group of bicycles lamenting the fact that there were no fish around to hear how much they needed bicycles. Antique bicycles, too.
Women need protection and support from bicycles.
My boy, Representitave Steve King [R, IA], is at it again (warning, lefty website)
http://cdn.crooksandliars.com/2014/04/rep-steve-kings-warns-patriotic-dreamers. The man is just death on foreigners unless from Germany or the Netherlands. Looking at this and at the good Congressman’s other public utterances on this and almost any other topic, it strikes me that you could hear the same thing at midafternoon in almost any small town tavern – that being the place where the ignorant and uninformed with nothing useful to do tend to gather.
The shame is that until Iowa loses enough population to reduce it to three congressional districts the guy has a safe seat.
You know, I agree with this"
“Rather than try to ban words like ‘bossy,’ let’s try to promote real leadership skills, like developing a thick skin,”
I could get behind it, if I didn’t believe that by “thick skin” he meant “don’t get your panties in a wad when you’re insulted, demeaned, oppressed, and ridiculed.”
With regards to the former activity, does that include Alexander Hamilton?
GA candidate for Senate uses a fake Obama in his campaign ad.
Luckily for the world he needs to win a primary against a long term entrenched Republican, Tom Petri. But if he wins that, he’s a shoo-in for Congress. And Petri is getting old.
Worse yet, I hear one of the incumbent’s former staffers has been dishing on Petri.
No, he and Burr fought with pistols. Hamilton had better things to do with his cock.
I see what you did there. Good retort.
Clearly, a man of culture.
Quite true.
WTF?!
