The consequences of one Republican’s stupid idea is now oppressing the freedoms of patriotic Nevadan voters:
Man, you give ONE guy a bad coupon…
Presumably those wearing chicken costumes were the most anti-Lowden.
This is a good thing. It makes it more likely that this insane bitch is the Teabagger nominee. Then she can go ahead and explain to everyone how her $100k RV gift is something any one of us could have, if we knew someone who wanted to give us a $100k RV.
Ayn Rand on display right here, folks.

To be fair, the chicken thing has been hilarious. It’s been a lonely bright spot in the Nevada primaries, which have mostly consisted of Republicans making loud, vitriolic comments about Harry Reid and trying to distinguish themselves as the most conservative but least crazy candidate: “Vote for me! I loved Ronald Reagan, but I don’t want to force gay illegal immigrant Mexicans into drug rehab at taxpayer expense! When I’m in charge, those faggot wetbacks will pay for their own damn stay at Promises!”
Since it’s doubtful we’ll have that level of discourse, I’ll take the chicken trading comment with all of it’s fallout. I wonder if they’ll turn me away if I show up in my gorilla suit, tho?
Everybody knows it’s just a ploy by the gorilla suit companies to sell their products.
Acme[sup]TM[/sup] gorilla suits; the only gorilla suits worn by gorillas.
I’m pretty sure this was Mrs. Lowden’s own doing, but I’m admittedly going to try and use it to raise awareness of National Gorilla Suit Day.
And Robot Arm, please: everyone knows the Acme Gorilla-Suit Company and the Ajax Gorilla-Suit Company are both owned by the same man.
This week we have campaigning for king of stupid Republican ideas(he has a lot of them) we have J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ), arguing that ‘the United States did not formally declare war on Germany in World War II’
Not even a runner up but deserving of honorable mention is Vaughn Ward(R-ID) saying that “he had a problem with extending statehood to any other country” the other ‘country’ he was referring to was Puerto Rico…
Reading a history book or even looking at a map, just something beyond their capability.
Fuck, dude, if they’da just gone to wikipedia or google you can come up with that info in seconds.
And are you willing to testify before the Senate Anti-Trust Committee against the Acme and Ajax gorilla suit manufacturers, Mr. Bestertester?
Who is number one?
Porto Rico? Sounds Mexican to me. And I hear they’ve got terrible gang problems. And sharks everywhere!

You did not even mention the best part about Ward. When told that Puerto Rico was not another country, but in fact a U.S. territory (shocking isn’t it?), he responded that he did not care.
Republicans - never let a fact get in the way of a good talking point.
Didn’t you mean a bad capon?
Crude oil’s got the electrolytes sea life craves!
Methinks someone has confused hydrocarbons with carbohydrates.
The Atkins diet is far more effective if you eliminate petroleum distillate from your daily intake, you know…
Well, heh heh, it’s kinda technically neither - it’s a commonwealth, something kinda sorta halfway between a territory and a country. Not really the best thing to nail the guy on.
A distinction the US State department does not recognize (PDF):
Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the US, regardless of what it calls itself.
Virginia also bills itself as a commonwealth. In any case, Puerto Rico is unquestionably part of the United States.
