Seriously, GOP? Really?

[giblets]

The words you bolded never said that a MAJORITY of Republican voters are uneducated rural whites. If that were true they would have lost in 2010 by a landslide.

Ron Paul getting nearly twice as many votes as Gingrich

Michigan and Arizona go to Romney.

Yay, Romney, barely winning his home state...

We all remember the dancing after Florida, too.

[DaShi]

Or Iowa.

[Hauldren Collider]

Romney's home state is Massachusetts. Michigan being his "native state" is just a thing the press plays up.

[DaShi]

That didn't stop him from calling it that. Even said "the trees were the right height." Where did you get that it was just the press?

[MrFun]

For comedy relief, wouldn't it be great if Santorum won the nomination just so we can laugh our asses off at how much the Republican party has deteriorated?

[rah]

Yeah, even I'd have to vote for Obama then. And that would really suck. Of course with the current crowd, I'd find it really difficult to vote for any of them.

I have to admit John Stewart caught Fox News and the Republicans red handed last night. This clip is so true and just goes to show how Fox works.

That was pretty hilarious.

Republican Congressional Candidate Says 'Holocaust Never Happened'

A congressional candidate running as a Republican in the upcoming Illinois primary says the “Holocaust never happened.”

Arthur Jones, 64, a Lyons, IL, insurance salesman who organizes family-friendly, neo-Nazi events around Adolf Hitler’s birthday, hopes to be the Republican candidate chosen to run against Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski in Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District.

“As far as I’m concerned, the Holocaust is nothing more than an international extortion racket by the Jews,” Jones said. “It’s the blackest lie in history. Millions of dollars are being made by Jews telling this tale of woe and misfortune in books, movies, plays and TV.

"The more survivors, the more lies that are told."

A member of the Nationalist Socialist Party in his younger days, Jones took part in the Nazis’ march on Chicago’s Marquette Park in 1978. While he doesn’t deny nor repudiate his “past affiliations,” he says he votes Republican “90 percent of the time.”

“Philosophically, I’m a National Socialist,” Jones said. “Officially, I don’t belong to any party except my own, the America First Committee.”

Jones hopes three’s a charm after blowing his retirement savings on two prior congressional runs. He hopes to win the Republican primary and go on to challenge Lipinski this November. The 3rd District covers portions of Chicago's South Side and a large swath of the south suburbs.

Part of the reason he’s jumping in again is what he describes as Lipinski’s strange affiliation with the American Israel Pro Israel Affairs Committee.

“(The committee) was bragging on their website how (Lipinski) is ‘spearheading’ the effort in the House of Representatives with a Jewish congressman from Virginia named Frank Wolf,” Jones said. “The two are spearheading an effort in the House to get tough with Iran, including closing off any oil exports to China that could lead to World War III.”

While Jones said Wolf was Jewish, he is Presbyterian.

Jones compares today's conditions in the United States to Germany following the end of World War I.

“Our country is falling apart economically, politically, culturally, militarily,” he said. “We are going down.”

A veteran of the Vietnam War with all of its modern horrors, he sees the same betrayal in the “so-called War on Terrorism.”

“These war-mongering fools in congress like Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney—we can’t let Iran have one nuclear weapon but we let Israel have all the nuclear weapons they want,” Jones said. “This is ridiculous.”

Jones is on the ballot against Jim Falvey and Richard Grabowski in a district that has sent a conservative Democrat to Congress for decades. The district includes sizable ethnic populations, primarily the descendants of Irish, German, Polish and Czech immigrants.

In his Patch candidate questionnaire, Jones submitted that he's not been convicted of a felony but has been arrested for "minor street skirmishes with Leftists."

You never get loons seeking nominations in the UK?

[kentonio]

We have loony parties sure, but if someone like that ever put himself forward for one of the mainstream parties he'd be rejected and vilified immediately.
