Thanks to the upward mobility that our economy once had, even sociopathic white-trash dumbasses with deficient cognitive skills and the IQ of a wet fern can become congresscritters.
Rumor had it that he was hand-picked by Carl Rove. If I remember correctly, he defeated a popular former sheriff while having barely established residence requirements. I worked for the Dem who ran against him who had a run of hard luck going up to the election. He was not considered strictly local.
14. My bro-in-law had a McHenry sign up in his front yard
This is the BIL who cranked off rounds with his assault rifle the afternoon I returned from the county fair & told him I had signed up 8 new Democratic voters. No need to ask me if I miss living in the country! Happily back in NY where I DO NOT get allergic smelling hay. :hi:
15. yep - the astonishing thing is just when you think they can't
come up with more outrageous finger-pointing bullshit, they extract more from their collective ass...I think we're watchin' the collective death throes of the scumbags that stole Congress from America...
AND I hear he's in the closet. He's been said to be "dating" Susan Ralston, the Rove assistant who just resigned. From what I hear, it's just a cover story.
25. he's doing it again on CNN right now, they are still acting as though...
anyone & everyone has to cow tow before their panels and answer questions they themselves would never be able to, i say republicans are shitting down both pant legs in the process of understanding...their feet are made of clay
32. Once again the GOP over-reaches... makes me think of the theatrics
around Schaivo. They were so sure that their pandering antics would sell to the base - and it did but only to the most extreme - meanwhile they alienated the more centrist part of the gop base AND independents. They don't seem to get that they need every last single vote of the moderate gop AND a big chunk of independents to win - and that overreaching has a way of biting them in the #ss.
I say this as one from another 'red' state - and have watched the tide turn against the GOP starting with the Schaivo theatrics. Have watched longtime GOP folks grow uneasy - and then disgusted with the GOP. So much so that our 7 R- 2 D congressional delegation appears to be about to shift to a 4 R - 5 Dcongressional delegation.
