Nugent & the Obamaphone
The New Confederacy lost, Ted. But you’ll always have Waco.
Famous last words, from this summer just prior to Nugent getting a visit from the US Secret Service:
If Barack Obama becomes the President in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.
We have decayed into a nation of gluttonous, soulless pigs who feast on whatever Fedzilla provides by taking from one group of Americans (the producers) and giving to others (the takers) who haven’t earned it and don’t deserve it …
The pigs have come home to wallow in the mud of the Washington swamp … And you thought “Planet of the Apes??? was a movie …
The stealth white bigot’s riff on the Obamaphone.
Free cellphones aren’t free. Food stamps have become vote-getting extortion vouchers …
If you voted for Mr. Obama, you are thunderously dumb and incredibly naive … Thanks for nothing, numbskulls.
Twenty years ago, the results would have been different. America wasn’t nearly as stupid back then as we are today.
Bush the Elder lost to Bill Clinton in November 1992. But, yes, the angry white guy had a much stronger proportionate grip on rule then.
Krugman, on the Ted Nugents, the Psychopath Vote:
[What] we’ve just seen is a peek into the modern right-wing psyche, which is obsessed — more than anything else — with power. Policy is one thing; but equally or even more important is the sense of being with the winners, of being part of the team that will stamp its boots on the faces of the other guys.
From the WaTimes, on the state of the GOP in Maryland:
Fresh from decisive losses in seven of Maryland’s eight congressional districts and its worst performance ever in a U.S. Senate race, the Maryland Republican Party is searching for answers to stop its slide into irrelevance in the increasingly deep-blue state.
The party lost one of its two congressional incumbents Tuesday when Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett was defeated in a heavily gerrymandered district, leaving incumbent Rep. Andy Harris as the party’s sole representative in Congress.
Also Tuesday, voters approved ballot initiatives to legalize same-sex marriage and give in-state tuition to some illegal immigrants, despite heavy opposition from conservatives.
Cult of Electromagnetic Pulse Crazy grandfather Roscoe Bartlett, who has been in Congress for 20 years, got about 38 percent of the vote in his failed re-election bid. That’s the same as Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern did nationally in the disastrous 1972 campaign against Richard Nixon.
“Party electorate a paltry 26 percent,” reads the WaTimes piece.
He won because he gave the parasites Obamaphones — a white man’s racist group psychosis.
