Chairman of Republican Party in the state who wants to be governor wonāt resign, of course, heās a Republican, and a member of the party of personal responsibility which never can take responsibility for the foolish and disastrous things they do and say.

Decent Republicans (there must still be a few left somewhere, right?) ought to demand he resign. But weāre talking Missouri here, and Republicans, so donāt get your hopes up for anything that even remotely resembles decency.

Yup, this is the state where a Republican ran for the U.S. Senate last time around who claimed that there were āgoodā rapes? No, he said that the womanās body rejects a fetus naturally when itās the result of ālegitimate rapeā? Am I right?
Republicans, Missouriā¦admitted to the Union as a slave state by the Maine/Missouri Compromise back in the 1800āsā¦ not much has changed there in terms of any Republicanās mindset. E.G. Ferguson, MO

Heāll lay low for a couple of months and then step back into running the state GOP.
āI believe with all my heart that John knew what he was doing,ā Jackson told the news website. āHe knew the reaction he was seeking from people. He knew what he was trying to get out of people.ā
Says a lot about āthe peopleā.

Apologies for how Iām putting this, but I think it matters: was Schweich being accused of being ethnically Jewish, or was he accused of being a secretly practicing Jewāhis membership in a Christian church notwithstanding?
Obviously either āaccusationā speaks to some deeply ugly views, if this was going to be an effective line of attack against Schweich, but theyāre very different kinds of ugliness. One plays into the whole half-racist, half-theological animus that certain Christians hold against Jews as a ātribe,ā and the other plays into the conspiratorial Obama-is-a-secret-Muslim paranoia where even the churches are being infiltrated by evildoers.
Anyone heard enough of the āwhispers,ā or know the local politics well enough, to say either way?
Do you REALLY think Francis Underwood is a fictional character?
He and the Mrs. are alive and well and running campaigns and committees all across the nation. Hancockās just his local name.
For every creep in office, there are a dozen lower-level ops in party leadership positions who ride those coattails throughout the process.
Iām not saying they are all creeps, they know who they are.
The desperate wannabe Roves, the Mean Gang (boys and girls), and the unmitigated uber-ambitious ladder climbers, all reveal their true colors eventually.
Anyone involved in the nuts and bolts of politics knows just how much authority these little power circles can accumulate over time, and Missouri has been known for more than a century as a home to some of the worst offenders.
Without creeps like these in low places, communities like Ferguson would never devolve into race-based traffic-ticket cash cows. But it is all part and parcel of the profanification (can I coin that?) of politics.
ā¦maybe the Profanitizing of Politics?
or something like thatā¦
Corruption is a way of life for these folks
And the fact is, if you get them drunk and animated, they actually brag about it. They are typically proud of their malfeasance, especially since they always think they somehow got away with something.

I think one might assume there are more than a few consummate conservative hypocrites among them who actually manage to maintain both positions in one confused thought process.
How many of them are or have been members of a club or organization that rejects Jews for membership?
Would Bibi be welcome in one of those lofty White Towers?
Seriously, what does this do to all their Tea Mob members who have to go back and explain to those equal-opportunity bigots what they were doing genuflecting to some imported Jew in Congress?
Never has the conservative side of our political realm been so stretched to its own limits. the inner conflicts are defining the extremities, and they donāt really ālikeā each other. Conservative, racist, nativist Tea Mob types donāt particularly ālikeā Jews, even (especially) billionaire Vegas merchants and Wall Street magnates, but without each other, they can not survive as a party

Hancock should resign, he is bottom feeding scum, but I donāt believe his Jewish whisper campaign lead to Schweichās āsuicide.ā Somebody ought to be investigating any calls to or from Schweich after his call to Messenger. I want to know if and why Schweich killed himself.
And his cowardice.
Agreed. Obviously we donāt know Schweich, but everything Iāve read about this ordeal suggests this man was busy making plans for the near future. His āsuicideā doesnāt add up.
I seem to remember the name āspence jacksonā as being a jackass in his own right.
