Discussion for article #234086
So much for all the inroads that the GOP was going to make with Jewish voters.
Of course.
âTheyâre digging in,â
Under pressure, the dug in, closed GOP ranks will form a Branch Davidian compoundâŚ
good grief⌠hancock essentially admitted to it:
Since then, Hancock has said he doesnât have a âspecific recollectionâ about any religious comments, but that if he did say Schweich was Jewish, it wasnât meant in an anti-Semitic way. âItâs plausible that I would have told somebody that Tom was Jewish because I thought he was, but I wouldnât have said it in a derogatory or demeaning fashion,â he told the Associated Press.
Cutting through all of the smoke - the hard-core brutally right-wing controlling the GOP looks at this as no big deal - since, in all reality, Schweich actually did have Jewish heritage - so that kinda makes him a Jew in their eyes!
Republicans close ranks anytime one of their number does anything insidious.
Handing over children to pedophiles, racism, anti-semitism, family values hypocrites
who pay for prostitutes with bibles in their hands, congressman who tout pro-life but
force their partners to have abortions, non-payment of child support, drug addicts who want
people getting two-hundred dollars worth of food stamps drug tested . . . . .
The biggest problem with supporting the rankest behavior is the rankest people find the GOP
a safe haven. Then one day you look around and your party has completely rotted from the ground
up. Everyone smells the rot of the GOP.
The question is do the Democrats take advantage. From the last article on this issue, it seems at least one Democratic leader in Jefferson City is defending Hancockâs whisper campaign.
Not all democrats are equal. And it seems in Missouri many democrats are more like
republicans.
Funny thing about âwhisper campaignsâ and other Nixonian tactics- they tend to be rather light on documentation.
In fact you almost might need to hide a tape recorder somewhere if you were trying to keep up with the skullduggery.
Oh, I thought Missouri Is a Branch Davidian state.
You have to give conservatives credit. They are intensely loyal and unquestioning of Party authority. It must be because they are generally very religulous as a group. Blind faith may determine the coping mechanisms you use when dealing with stressful and inconvenient events.
I am not sure that Tom Schweichâs death was suicide. He was the State Auditor and could have antagonized some powerful corporations and politicians in a state that is rife with white supremacist conservatives and corporate kleptocrats and religulous fundamentalists.
If indeed he committed suicide because of a supposed christyrannical conservativeâs whisper campaign about his being Jewish, he must have had a whole lot of other issues that tipped the balance.
