Desperation is a terrible thing to waste when you’ve got nothing else. It is stunning that he is even close in this race. People appear to be getting dumber by the day if they buy into the crap these folks are peddling

The Ebola fear mongering is not as effective as it was a few weeks ago and will slowly fade away when no one else dies. He should be ashamed of himself for scaring people.

300 miles and closing. Launch on warning?

It is disgusting when someone who is seeking a position of national leadership traffics in panic-mongering and misinformation.

Brown is a coward, a fool, and likely, a liar.

To bad New Hampshire did not impose a travel ban on you entering their state as a carpetbagger. Really idiot, you now sound just really stupid with that total crap you just spewed. He got through the screening because he had no fever, HENCE NO EBOLA AT THE TIME, THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO INFECT ANYONE ELSE.

“The person who brought it there passed through enhanced screening at the airport and exposed himself to countless other people by riding the subway…”

Exposed himself? I’m thinking Sen. Scotty2Hotty is projecting here.

Oh look, boogey oogey oogey men everywhere!

TBH, I have no problem with quarantine or appropriate monitoring of returning health care workers or “journalists” who went there to gawk, even to the extent that it’s perhaps a little bit of overreaction or serves mainly to treat the panic more than the potential outbreak of the disease itself, but the travel ban thing is just total fucking nonsense and demagoguery. It’s a position to have a position…a fabricated issue to give them something to frighten people with and give themselves something to rail about.

However, to the extent Shaheen is “waffling” on a travel ban, she’s also wrong. She should come down against the travel ban and talk sense to her constituents instead of allowing this jumped up wannabe playboy frighten her into trying to appease imaginary independent conservatives whose vote she might get.

It’s amazing how these Republicans who protest they are not scientists when asked about global warming quickly become scientists who apparently know more than the health care professionals who say a travel ban would not only be ineffective, but actually counter-productive and make it harder to track patients.

Actually, it’s called ‘epidemiology.’

What the Playtoy is doing is called ‘unprincipled opportunism.’

Hey, has Donald Trump’s head exploded in helpless fury yet?

Trying to manufacture an October surprise out of a public health issue. So sad and desperate.
