I remember reading that he managed to get almost every white Democrat in the legislature wiped out by associating Democrats with Obama. Wasn't one of his endgames so that whenever the D appears on TV, you instantly associate them with black people?
That was the article I was referring to, but I couldn't remember who wrote it.

[SCENE OPENS, large room cast in shadows. Three figures sitting on one side of a conference table, indistinct. Door opens, man enters wearing a tan suit and carrying a briefcase. Man approaches table, sits opposite the figures]
[Cut to side view, man is clearly Obama]
Obama: Gentlemen, I trust you know why I called you here today? ISIL has gone rogue and turned against us. Our plan to stop the Republicans and bring forth a new age of socialism has come to a halt.
[First man leans forward into the light, revealed to be Putin]
Putin: The Russian people have done as you ask, and are now in position for stage two of the resurrection of the great Soviet state, but we cannot risk moving out of Ukraine to assist with ISIL, not at this point.
[Putin leans back into the shadows, the second man speaks, a thick middle eastern accent and ragged breath punctuating his words]
Osama: I was a deep-cover agent for 30 years. I've advised you as best I can, but my tactics are out of date. While I thank you for extracting me from Abbottabad, I'm afraid I can't help you outside of the false flag attacks you've had me co-ordinating for you.
[The third figure says nothing, the soft glow of a lit cigarette the only thing showing he is there]
Obama: Gentlemen, I have the solution to all our woes here.
[Obama opens the briefcase. Inside are 100 test tubes]
Obama: We have finished weaponising Ebola. I have 100 vials ready to begin distributing to our agents in the heart of Republican territories. I've kept the news contained for now, but the test run in Texas was a complete success. You know what, you do what you need to win.
[Putin and Osama take half of the test tubes each, leave the room]
Obama: Soon all of our problems will be resolved. Just a few more well-placed government shutdowns during the crisis and people will have turned against the Republicans fully. You've done good work on that end, Mr. Cruz.
[Both men begin laughing, lights dim, then go out, the laughter echoing in the darkness]

During disease epidemics people look to the government to help them so Obola is deliberately trying to spread ebola to get people to support bigger government and socialized medicine. This is an actual argument that conservatives have been making.

No, that's Tommy Lee Jones. In Congress, the answer would be, unfortunately, Louie Gohmert, who is reportedly very nice if you can keep him off of topics such as government or Islam. Farenthold looks like a Floridian, which is apropos as he's from Corpus Christi.

I live in this guy's district, and have been getting mailers like this from both sides at a rate of about 2-3 a day. Yes, some of them are this ridiculous. Apparently Young, the Dem candidate, actually came through my apartment building going door-to-door while I was in class.

Also, Udall was on campus this afternoon (between DU and CSU), along with our DA candidate and the Dem candidate for my House district (he doesn't have a chance). Talked a lot about reproductive rights (which I'm fairly certain is responsible for his dip in the polls) but at least touched on other subjects, and stuck around after to shake hands with the 50ish people that were actually there. I wasn't too inspired and am still nervous about the possibility of Senator Gardner. :ohdear:

Is that an old mine quarry visible in the background too? Please say yes.

If so, it may be the perfect political appearance photo for Kentucky. Obese constituents, a guy holding a sign unenthusiastically, a trailer home, an advertisement for weight loss scams, a race car, a dude with a bloatee, a skinny dude with a Morgan Spurlock goatee, a hillside destroyed by mining and a dude in a feed store hat. All it needs is someone dying of lung cancer.

Apparently the current state House Speaker for Alabama (and former head of the Alabama Republican Party) was indicted on 23 felony charges. Didn't see it in the thread yet.

quote:

OPELIKA, Ala. — Powerful Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard has been arrested on felony ethics charges, accused of using public office for personal gain. Hubbard was indicted by a grand jury on 23 charges accusing him of misusing his office as speaker and his previous post as chairman of the Alabama Republican Party.

Acting Attorney General Van Davis announced the indictment Monday.

Hubbard says the charges, weeks before the November vote in which he's favored for re-election, constitute "a political witch hunt."

If convicted, Hubbard faces from two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $300,000 on each count. The charges are latest corruption allegations against Alabama politicians to make headlines. The 52-year-old Republican led the GOP's takeover of the Legislature in 2010, ending 136 years of Democratic control.
