What about Quayle?


Got lucky to win a crowded primary. Didn't even get 23% of the vote.

not if you're an idiot who has never even anything close to as work a real job or have any experience politically, but have daddy's money and a district handpicked for you that comprises of 2/3 of the registered voters from your respective party.


not that he was popular with most, or even all that many, in his own party


if you are going against a rather large field of 8 and will outspend all of them combined i guess even a complete idiot can win with 21% of the vote. however i would love to actually meet someone who voted for him to at least give me one legitimate reason as to why he would make a good representative. the kid is a joke, much like most of the republican politicians in this state.

in the last 25 years this state proudly boasts.....
fife symington
jd hayworth
sheriff joe arpio
andrew thomas
jane hull
half of the field that ran against quayle
evan mecham


finding a republican candidate without some scandal in their closet is daunting task. even the highly regarded mc cain was involved with the keating 5.

and on the believe it or not file... mr. janet napolitano was actually a decent governor and not the totally clueless fool you see running homeland security.

The LaRouchies believe the insane claims. THey also like to hang out in airports and wear a lot of brown.


True Fact: Lyndon LaRouche was a birthright Quaker who left the society over the formation of the American Friends Service Committee.

It would have been marginally understandable if it was the closing statement and she was trying to incorporate the events of the previous hour or whatnot into a neat 1 minute summary pitch. Giving an opening statement in a political debate should be just about the easiest thing to do in the world.

I'm posting this in its entirety:

From: Jon Morrow <sanduskyinitiatives> Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:14:38 -0400 To: Subject: Tea Party Voter Guide and Questionaire...get your candidates on it
We are a Tea Party Group in Erie County called The Freedom Institute of Erie County and we are preparing a Conservative voter guide and would like help from your candidates. We ask they answer the following 15 questions so that we can more clearly define their position on many items. These answers will be put into our voter guide and allow us to rate, recommend, and endorse candidates. Without these questions being answered we cannot give a full endorsement of your candidate. We have attached a draft of the voter guide along with the questions and a key legend for answers. You are allowed qualifiers to your answers but please keep it short sweet and simple. We intend to distribute this list in Erie County and hope it to reach 1,000+ Republicans and at least 4.000+ Independents that have a history of voting conservatively. The sample ratings in the voter guide do not yet reflect the standing of your candidate in our group. Please also provide our members and voting guide recipients with an email and phone number contact information. While we are not a partisan group we are a conservative group. While Democrats these days tend not to be conservative we do not want to paint them with all with broad brush and we fully hope that Democrats will respond with what their conservative American values are as with any of us even the most conservative person may have some liberal views and vice versa. We would like to have answers back before the end of the first week in September.
We are also inviting all candidates to our Liber-TEA in America Rally to take place October 9th at The Largest American Legion in Ohio (Located in Sandusky, OH) to speak about their conservative view and how they will benefit Ohioans. the event will last noon to 9pm. This has been sent to as many candidates that we have e-mails for. If you have more emails for those that would be on the Erie County Ballot please forward this email on to them.

1. The Right to Life is a Constitutional right, therefore innocent human beings should have legal protection from conception until natural death. If you hold any exceptions please state them.
2. The regulation of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere should be left to God and not government and I oppose all measures of Cap and Trade as well as the teaching of global warming theory in our schools.
3. Marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman, any other type of Union is not marriage
4. Children should not be placed into foster homes where the parents are homosexual, bisexual, or transgendered.
5. Parental consent should be required for sex education that teaches more than direct abstinence.
6. The second Amendment to the Constitution should not be weakened in any way.
7. Only US Citizens should be allowed to vote and a photo ID should always be required to vote. (The Mexican government re-
quires a photo ID and fingerprint).
8. I oppose Ohio’s State Income Tax.
9. I oppose the Obama Health Care Reform and would like to see more affordable healthcare through a competitive, open, and trans-
parent system.
10. I oppose the don’t ask, don’t tell policy of the military and believe that all same sex partners should be banned from combat duty
in the military because of the propensity to transmit blood borne diseases in the theater of battle.
11. I support a law that will allow the people to place on a ballot all collective bargaining agreements of all government associations,
unions, and guilds, for their expressed approval. Defeat of such an agreement would mean government workers would not be immune from the free market system.
12. I oppose card check for voting to implement a Union as this could give Unions an unfair intimidation tactic to implement Union- ization
13. I am not an economic Pacifist. I believe that we need to protect our economic borders in order to ensure free and fair trade. Tar- iffs should be used to stop the wealth and jobs of Americans from leaving her borders
14. The Federal Reserve as it is currently conceived needs to be abolished or at the very least audited.
15. I advocated moving our currency to a debt free supply-side labor based currency.
Possible Answers A = Agree D = Disagree U = Undecided
A* = Pro-life with exceptions of Rape or Incest * = Added comments NR = No Response CR = Incumbents Conservative Rating
Your help in these matters is greatly appreciated. Thanks Jon P. Morrow

the rest of the debate got slightly better, but that's not really saying much, because could have it gotten any worse? she pretty much fumbled the ball on this one. a good showing would have added to her momentum nationally, well this pretty much stopped it. locally though, instead of winning 59-41, she probably only wins 56-44.

This is as far as I got because I just imagined God as a regulatory inspector. Just think of what it'll take to bribe God to look the other way...

I forget the nature of the teabaggers' religious sentiments, but where I'm from Christians all contend with original sin.

In other words, we're none of us innocent.

So there goes #1.

And how about #15? That deserves a whole page to itself.

& lastly I know they're against all things taxes, but they should look into the matter of syntax.

I like 14. The Federal Reserve is a vile and despicable organization that needs to be abolished. No? How about a thorough audit?
