GOP Senate Candidate Rob Simmons Boasts Of Adding A Tea Bag To The Constitution

[ccharles000]

Speaking to a group of right-wing activists recently, former congressman Rob Simmons (R-CT) — who is running for the Senate in Connecticut — demonstrated his commitment to the “tea party” movement by showing that he has added an actual tea bag to his copy of the Constitution.

Although three of Connecticut’s leading newspapers denounced the tea parties for promoting “insulting drivel” and “mindless thuggery,” Simmons told YouTube user “AndersonScooper” he has never see anything offensive at any of the tea parties he has attended:

SIMMONS: This state and this country needs people like you. <...> I’ve made it a habit over the years to carry my Constitution in my pocket as a reminder of what this country and what this country’s government is all about. But more recently because of the participation of many of you, I’ve added something to my Constitution. I’ve added a tea bag.

1. Simmons is going to have to bring the crazy

just to be remembered through the primary campaign. Up against such notable fucking nutcases as Linda McMahon and Peter Schiff he's going to easily get lost in the noise.

I know it's early and Chris Dodd has done some really stupid shit but unless there's a dead girl or a live boy coming out I don't think he's got a lot to worry about.

The puke primary, could provide some really interesting moments.

2. Remember

Dodd has gone up In polls,and let's remember New Jersey.Christie went from a double diget lead to now
a deadheat with Corzine.The More Simmons attacks Obama and his agenda and Dodd reminds people He Is
on their side.And If health care with a Public opotion passes he will survive.
