If by "rassling" you mean "hairspray, makeup, and costume."

22 Personally, I prefer a nice clear choice between the serial liar and the war hero. That didn't work so well for us in 2008, as I recall. Don't underestimate the power of the Democratic machine to rally their base in CT this fall. They're going to view this as a death match, not the WWF, and they'll have their people rev'd up accordingly. For either Pub nominee it's an uphill battle. MacMahon brings a lot of money to the table and perhaps, just perhaps, a fresh perspective that voters will appreciate. Whereas Simmons, while a bonafide vet and war hero, is also 'just another pol'. If he tries to go Tea Party he'll be whacked for that (and whacked for 'where were you before now'); if he doesn't he won't generate much excitement.

I've come to accept that liberals have no sense of ethics or morals as you and I think of them.  The fact that he was lying out of his teeth about his (non) service the entire time simply isn't seen as a problem.  Your average liberal is probably amused that we conservatives are "so worked up" about it, thinking "well, it's not like he did anything really bad, like commit a thoughtcrime."

Hell, the fact that he really didn't serve in a combat zone is probably seen by your standard military-loathing liberal as a good thing.

26 Is there any way McMahon and Simmons can strike some sort of deal? I think Simmons would be a better candidate. But McMahon was, up to now, following the rules and earning votes. Charlie Crist she ain't.

Are you saying the Marine Corp Reserve doesn't defend America?

30 When Connecticut adopted "shall issue" rules for Pistol Permits Blumenthal stated that his department would continue a "may issue" policy. Got slapped down hard by a court on that one. Seriously, his ears are still probably ringing.

His reply was to state that his office would take the maximum permissible amount of time to render an approval. If the law stated that a permit should take no more than 30 days then it would never take less than thirty days, even if the actual check only takes twelve hours.

33 Blumenthal recieved deferments for school and other activities. When his final deferment was almost up he was working for Pat Moynihan in Washington DC. He enlisted in the Marine Reserve and was assigned a duty post at what was considered a cushy posting in Washington DC.

If during the course of a speech I say, " I went to Harvard." And later in the same speech I say, "At Harvard I found a great love of swimming and joined the swim team." And even later in the speech I say, "When I was the captain of the swim team at Harvard...", Can I later go back and say that because I did actually go to Harvard that when I claimed to be on the team and have been it's Captain I "just misspoke"?

39 From the NY Post:

US Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal has been caught yet again insinuating he served in Vietnam when he never set foot there.

The latest embarrassment to the once-soaring Connecticut Democratic hopeful comes from the archives of the Milford Mirror, a weekly paper.

While addressing a crowd at a 2007 Memorial Day parade -- which included the family of a Marine killed in Iraq -- Blumenthal said, "In Vietnam, we had to endure taunts and insults, and no one said, welcome home."

The Democrat added, "I say, welcome home."

In fact, Blumenthal had never served in Vietnam.

State Rep. Nikki Haley, R-Lexington, holds an 11 percentage-point lead over her next closest competitor, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey of more than 900 likely Republican primary voters conducted Monday.
According to the poll, Haley led with 30 percent support, followed by McMaster at 19 percent, Barrett at 17 percent and Bauer at 12 percent. About one in five likely GOP voters - or 19 percent - have yet to make up their mind.
So the conservative who was backed by Palin is now at the top of the list per the Ras.

I don't have a fetish for 'authenticity' or inexperience. I also don't have a love for hacks.

Is it really arguable that an inexperienced candidate is inherently dangerous when it comes to handling the trials of election campaigns? A lot of successful people with attractive stories and positions have wilted under the heat. In somethings, expericence helps. A lot.

At no point did I say it was a deal breaker in and of itself but in this case add it to the unsavory aspect of her company and the availability of another viable candidate (who happens to be ideally set to exploit the major issue that can hurt the Democrat) and yeah, I'm not going to go all gaga over someone just because she's never held office.

83 The words "I take full responsibility" mean nothing without action. Taking responsibility for something means altering your behavior or atoning (through direct action) for a wrong. Blumenthal can't say "I have taken full responsibility" when he has done nothing to show this. In fact, he doesn't even apologize for anything specific; choosing to rely on the vague "I made mistakes and misspoke" phrase instead of coming out and apologizing directly to vets who actually DID serve in Viet Nam. Because of this, it is perfectly fair game to use his lies against him during the campaign. Unfortunately, his Republican opponent won't have the stones to do so.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that, sparky.

I'm kind of disturbed by the results of a special election we just had here in AZ.  I'm not surprised by the outcome but really bothered by the margins.

Basically, it was a proposition calling for a "temporary" sales tax increase so as to keep AZ's government spending line on the hyperbolic track established circa 2006.

So, what am I to make of these results?

Two thirds of the voters in AZ work for the government?

Two thirds of the voters in AZ are fucking idiots?

This was a no-brainer, but despite all of the tea party activism and rhetoric this past year in AZ, the result at the polls was a decisive win for ever-expanding government vs. "grass roots" common sense.

BTW, I hold Governor Jan Brewer responsible for this bullshit.  I know that she has a acquired some cachet amongst conservatives nationwide since La Raza thrust her and the whole state into the spotlight as of late but she's no Chris Christie.

She had more than one budget submitted to her that made the necessary spending cuts.  She vetoed them all.

Before SB1070 came up, Jan Brewer's monomaniacal focus in life was to raise taxes in AZ.

No matter what.

If she couldn't get the legislature to do it for her she would put it on the ballot so that every goddamn government worker in the state could vote themselves a job.

It worked.

Congratulations Jan!

We are soo fucked.

Can I be a Texican?

92 He won't apologize, either.

It's too bad the vid cuts it off, but he kept using an odd construction, claiming that he felt badly about his 'misplaced' words, and regrets 'misplacing' them.

What does it mean that these words became misplaced? That they belonged in the mouth of an actual Vietnam vet? Or perhaps they should have been reshuffled and used to convey a factual statement instead of a lie?

Misplaced words. Incredible.

So I was at this wedding up around Washington Depot and there was guy wearing a green beret sitting at the bar. I assumed he was Special Forces, and he didn't correct me, so I bought him a drink and we got to talking.

He told this horror story about this native shoeshine kid. This guy sent his shoes out to be shined, and when they were delivered back to his hotel suite they were brown. Thing is, they were cordovan when he sent them out.

I think it was Blumenthal. He seen some shit, man.

Sadly, this is the state of the left and democraps, today.  They cannot be counted on to exhibit even the minimal levels of civilized behavior or common sense shame when they are caught in their lies, most of which are so blatant and transparent - see the Indonesian Imbecile - that they are offenses to the intellect.  Even worse, their supporters don't give a shit, either.

Despicable, lying scumbags are what the dems are fully populated with and there is no amount of "negotiation" that is going to change that.  This is why this nation sits perched on such a precipice, with a strong wind blowing it over the edge.

Any bit of civilization that depends on the political individual obeying any rules, traditions, or sense, is gone.  The Precedent, with his Indonesian sensibilities and raping of our American institutions, along with his willing junta of the MFM and the dems, have done their job.  They have broken this nation beyond repair.

103 I hope Simmons quickly backs and campaigns for McMahon.  Let's keep the boot on the throat of this shitbird and take the retiring dickhead's seat.

104

I have mixed feelings on Linda McMahon's candidacy.  On the one hand, Vince has made a shitload of money while being headquartered in Connecticut, so he definitely knows his way around.  No matter what I think of him personally, which is pretty much negative for the shitty way he treats wrestlers, he's been 100% supportive of the troups by presenting free matches at least annually around Christmas time on bases in the Middle East.  I'm sure he's had people do oppo-research to know what to expect on Linda's candidacy.  The main thing that worries me is that he generally loses his ass whenever he gets away from wrestling (XFL, some weird body-building competition he tried and a boatload of really crummy movies; although maybe he ultimately made money on the movies).

Anyway he made his jack on having the public believe that something fake is real, and I can't think of a better description for how politics is practiced today.

105

Fuck, I haven't even started drinking yet.....

106 "Are you saying the Marine Corp Reserve doesn't defend America?" In this instance, technically yes, in fact, not so much. "Also, his service in the reserves isn't an issue..." With that I would have to disagree. After running out the clock with his five deferments, there were three options: 1) getting drafted and probably winding up an 11B (or at least in the Army in some MOS) en route to unpleasant places; 2) signing up for an active component of any service and possibly winding up someplace unpleasant; 3) joining a reserve component of any service and getting virtually to be able to pick the plum CONUS unit of choice and, at the time (not so much now) pretty much being assured that there was near zero chance of going to unpleasant places short of raising a well manicured hand. The issue, therefore, is that there was deliberate calculation to avoid hard service by deliberate choice of easy service - to me making the mendacity that much worse. Before Snapperhead goes all "But Booosh!", to reiterate, Bush did raise his hand, but there was no need for F-102s at the time.

Yeah, because Cheney and Limbaugh go on all the fucking time about how they were war heroes.

Do you think at all before opening your mouth, prostate-slurper? Does irony even begin to register with you? Have you no shame, no decency, no humanity at all?

No, I didn't think so. Now go fuck your mother.

114 As it turned out, my skills were more useful leading covert ops on the ground in super-secret missions everywhere.

The uprising in Stella Doro was brutal, but thanks to my askew negotiation skills and a little dose of Fightin' Joe, we were able to denude the crisis and erect a new dog park for the refugees.  It was a big fuckin' deal.

Anyone willing to bet a lot of money there won't be some sordid stories coming out the day after the primary if she wins? Anyone?

The really bizarre thing will be, if she wins the primaries, if the media starts trying to pin the things which have happened at her husband's wrestling company upon her.  We'll know how badly the press is worried about her winning if all of a sudden we start hearing Chris Benoit's name bounced about again.

116 lauraw, by the way, as someone who is from Ct. do you think the guy gets elected, is he damaged goods or will the voters up there just blindly vote for him anyway despite what he said because he has the (D) in front of name ?

He is utterly undamaged among the wide swath of liberal voters who have long controlled the political fate of Connecticut. There are few places in the country that are more irreverent of military service than our major cities and uppercrust 'burbs, which is where Dems here draw most of their strength from. Yes, his constituency will be unfazed. Of course.

But. It's a different era now, eh? Is it ever! Connecticut conservatives, and some strange weakly right-leaning political beasties that think they are libertarians, are absolutely seething out of the woodwork here. They had been demoralized, staying home for cycle after cycle but that ain't happening anymore. I have never seen this before. We just need someone to get behind and we could make the big cities irrelevant. This is as good a shot as we'll ever have.

119 It seems McMahon is a business person going into politics rather than a person going into politics as a business. Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised with someone seeking to serve the people rather than get rich at the people's expense, or maybe she will be more of the same old same old.

Commandant Richard 'Blood & Guts' Blumenthal in......



Missing In Applebee's

121 Are you smoking this shit so's to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be, and there's the way it is. Rob Simmons is full of shit. Rob Simmons is a crusader. Now, I got no fight... with any man who does what he's told. But when he don't, the machine breaks down. And when the machine breaks down, we break down. And I ain't gonna allow that... in any of you. Not one.

122 Blumenthal: "And I have taken responsibility [for 'mistakes']."

When caught he dodged and weaved and said he misspoke. How is that taking responsibility? What has he done to make amends? Exactly. He hasn't done squat except now he wants everyone to quit talking about it:

Blumenthal: "But this campaign must be about the people of Connecticut."

Right. It's about the people and not the candidate... because we're electing "the people" and "the people" will be voting in the well of the Senate.

But why should this bother the people? They love serial liars. And thieves. Which explains why 80% of Americans don't trust our government. We just need to have a bad guy to blame for our troubles, so putting the bad eggs in Congress just keeps things efficient and makes it an easier basket to watch. Why, Blumenthal is actually a patriot for filling the necessary void.

123 snapdragon: "Nothing says honesty like 'Professional' Wrestling!"

You mean that it's fixed? Why, knock us over with a feather. Obviously a spectacle that is entertainment is exactly the same as an Attorney General and would-be politician who lied.

But to use your phraseology, "Nothing says honesty like the Legacy Media or snapdragon!" See how I included both a non sequitur and two smears in the same sentence? It's like I just put you in a sleeper hold and forced even more oxygen from your brain.

I think I served at D-Day.  Juno Beach.  Or was it Gold?

Or maybe it was Antietam. One of those, anyway.

125 The biggest "scandal" I can see coming after Linda McM. is that of steroid use in the WWE. It's not exactly a huge secret that it goes on, and there's a pretty general belief that Vince has facilitated it.

Now, whether there's any knowledge of that on Linda's part... who knows? But I'm sure that if the Dems spread enough money around, they scare up a few old timers who will attest that Linda shot them up personally.

I don't know if this is gonna be that much of a problem.  I'm pretty sure that the congressional assholes have already tried to take Vince down for that and either he skated on  his own merits or paid all the cocksuckers off.

What might prove to be bothersome are all the embarrassing WWE "story lines" that Vince and his crew of assholes come up with in which de wimmens are always portrayed as gold-digging cum-guzzling mega-implanted back-stabbing sluts, including Vince and Linda's daughter Stephanie.  Plus the donks could run ads of WWE footage where Linda kicks people in the nads, is portrayed as being in a coma while Vince is banging all the divas; it's all pretty fucking scuzzy at any level.

128 In view of the the continued support for liar Blumenthal by Democrats in Connecticut and the Democrats giving Calderon a standing ovation in Congress and lazy lacky Eric Holder's crticisms of legislation which he hasn't even bothered to read and lazy lacky Hillary Clinton's failure to accomplish any productive or worthwhile tasks since she was appointed SOS and other examples of the Democrats' sleaziness and incompetence too numerous to list here for the sake of brevity. we're incredulous that Republican candidates aren't itemizing all of those examples in hard-hitting campaign ads without pulling any punches to show heretofore apathetic and non-participating voters (1) just what kinds of lazy, irresponsible and useless miscreants the 52% were stupid enough to have put into office, and (2) exactly what the consequences of their stupidity have been.

I'd first just like to say, from personal experience: hooking up with an ex after a few too many drinks can be considered both a mistake and pathological...

But, more to the point: I am oftentimes altogether mystified about why New England has a consistent history, at least in these modern times, of selecting  for their  political representation, some of the most despicable human detritus to appear before the eye.

Relatively contemporaneously, oh let's say, among the Democrats: corruptocrat supreme Dodd, his prevaricating bum-boy Blumenthal,  the pimp Frank,  the late Edward "Social Justice Repents Me of Chappaquiddick" Kennedy and some of the relatively younger degenerative Kennedy spawn, and ick - Leahy. (Dr. Dean, Sanders...don't much like them at all, generally contemptible, but are they as outright odious as the aforementioned, dunno...please advise.) The sentimental aspect of my ethnic solidarity, however limited it may be in the case of Frank, probably still blinds me to the Democrat-caucuser Lieberman's worst moments (amnesty, cap/trade, etc.) in view of his by-and-large decent views re: the Mideast and his support of the Republican ticket in 2008 against Obama.

Among the Republicans, well, a bit better perhaps, but still no great shakes: the Snowe/Collins manned collision, Chafeedammit  (is he still even a Republican? - could care less), Brown - well, keeping an eye on his senatorial voting record over the next year of so will probably tell the tale.

I'm probably forgetting some specifics of my American history, but  I always figured a region that could produce folks like Samuel Adams, his cousin John and John's boy J.Q., Paul Revere, etc., couldn't be all bad. 

On the other hand, there's a youtube clip of an filmed interview with the archetypal New Englander, H.P. Lovecraft, whose fictional and literary critical work I rather admire, and from whose imagination a creature as horrible as Blumenthal could have easily emerged, declaring in very certain terms that, politically, he stannds as a New Deal Democrat, very taken with the domestic policies of FDR. Ouch!

Do I have a point?  Not a very significant one, really, only just to say: Frickin' New England Democrats!

 

 

 

 

130 "But, more to the point: I am oftentimes altogether mystified about why New England has a consistent history, at least in these modern times, of selecting for their political representation, some of the most despicable human detritus to appear before the eye." Simple, really. Europe is a mess because all their best people left to become Americans. New England is a mess because all the real Americans left cross country for the South and West leaving the Europeon wannabes in New England. Coastal California, Oregon, and Washington are FUBAR because of the New Englanders who went there by boat and either freaked out because they had never seen good weather before, or couldn't hack going inland.

131 "I hope McMahon doesn't turn out to be a Snowe/Collins type but I think that is what she is. Yeah, that's a fear based mostly in sexism. Whatever, we all have issues. That's just how she comes off to me."

Yeah, Laura, but I think that, in an administration like this one, a RINO will tend to help slow the pace at the very least. I would prefer Simmons, but he voted like a RINO as a Congressman a lot of the time as well.

And for those out there who think that MacMahon should be unethered to the WWF or whatever the hell it is called, wasn't she the frickin' CEO?

133 So Ann Coulter says...

The average Nutmegger doesn't even know what a turnbuckle is, and that includes me.

Isn't that self-refuting? If you don't know what a turnbuckle is, why even bring it up? Regardless, I agree with Ann. As much as it would amuse me to watch Vince McMahon come out and challenge this Blumee-liar-idiot to join the "kiss-my-ass-club" on Monday Night Raw, Simmons is by far the smarter play.
