I’m sure they would call him “defective dildo” if they could.

Seriously, what is it about middle-age, unfuckable men who think they are otherwise?

The campaign ads just right, (or is it write) themselves.

Funny, I hear they like to call him “Ocular Broccoli”. It’s a bit controversial though. Some people like Broccoli.

I’d call Walker a flaming asshole, except calling Walker a flaming asshole isn’t allowed, so I won’t call Walker a flaming asshole.

These guys need a periodic reminder that this little trick of saying you won’t say a thing you then say, technically called apophasis, isn’t a viable way to stay out of trouble for saying that thing. It’s just a little joke, basically, an indication that you’re pushing the boundaries and you know it. If you really don’t want to get in trouble for saying a thing, just cut out the middleman and don’t say the thing.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Trump, it’s that casting one’s misogyny or prejudice in passive-aggressive terms makes it totally okay.

Wilber Mills who drunkenly drove into the tidal basin with the stripper Fannie Fox had more class than this rube from the so called Republican study committee.
Mills served on the Ways and means committee and opposed numerous carve outs that others would try to insert into the budget.
Plus he was supportive of Nixon’s health care proposal which would have made this fellows head implode.

Being middle-aged and unfuckable has a lot to do with it.

“Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC), the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, on Tuesday said he would call his female colleagues ‘eye candy’ if it were not ‘sexist’ to do so.”

I would call Rep. Walker “a mouth-breathing, lizard-brained, sexist jackass with nanogenitalia issues”.

If it were not “ad hominem” to do so.

I´d call him an asshole, if it wasn´t rude to do so.

Oh no, look, I just did anyway!

Broccoli is nutritious. The descriptive term “eye candy” literally means pleasing but without substance.

Maybe call him fatty acid omega 6. That’s an inflammatory food component.

why do Republican examples of the need for abortion show up when it’s too late for it to happen?

All you have to do to eliminate the ad hominem is to preface the statement with, “Many people say…,” or “Some of the best people are saying…”

Jeebus on a Fucking desiccated wafer. He’s a Shiite Baptist minister.

Walker eventually attended Trinity Baptist College for a time before moving with his family to Houston, Texas. From there, Walker moved to the Piedmont Triad. He worked in business and finance for several years.[3] Walker eventually returned to college to pursue the ministry and attend Piedmont Baptist College, now Piedmont International University, graduating with a B.A. in Biblical Studies. Walker was ordained in the Southern Baptist denomination. His career in ministry began at Calvary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. From there he has worked for and led churches in North Carolina and Florida. He has served as a worship pastor, executive pastor and lead pastor.

How much lack of introspection does it require to be a Republican?
