fanciful lives of politicians
Maybe there was a bizarro version of the dynamics of the Colorado Republican Gubernatorial Primary with the Portland mayor race of 2020. Portland coulda jumped ahead of the Socialist freight train in that year (if not any other this far) in particular, but opted to go to the unpopular “center not holding” (but apparently was) — and much mocked by right wing media — incumbent mayor because the “defund the police” candidate was outflanked by the “supported by the Chaz-sters” write-in candidate who kept on running even after the primary booted her out. So it is the 40 percent plus one getting by the 40 percent minus one because of that intransigent twenty percent purity cadidate.
But it appears as though the … man in the middle (?)… has beaten out the mainline woman establishment candidate. He got to that 40 percent plus one with her main opponent getting 40 percent minus one and the bigger kook the twenty. The debate was insane.
MR. DOW — MR. BOTTOMS ON THE TOPIC OF RELIGIOUS AND POLITICS HE SAID YOU WERE DEEPLY HONORED TO HAVE THE ENDORSEMENT OF YOUR GOOD FRIEND JOE ALT — JOEL ALTMAN WHO CALLED FOR THE EXECUTION BY HANGING OF THE GOVERNOR ATTORNEY GENERAL AND SECRETARY OF STATE WHO HE CALLS SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN JEWS. MR. OLTMANN YOU SAID WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT GOVERNOR ENDORSED A SCALED-DOWN TO BECOME THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIRMAN. DO YOU ALSO BELIEVE COLORADO’S GOVERNOR ATTORNEY GENERAL SECRETARY OF STATE SHOULD BE ARRESTED, TRIED AND HANGED IN DO YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE A SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN JEWS?
Mr. Bottoms carried on with secret information that all these Democrats are going to be indicted for… sedition… or, policy differences of you will, and affirms that he does support the death penalty.
And the one that has garnered a lot of attention.
MR. MARX YOU MADE CLAIMS THAT ARE UNLIKE ANY ONE EVER MADE BY SOMEONE RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR IN HISTORY. YOU SAID YOU’D BEEN AROUND THE WORLD ARMED TO TH TEETH RESCUING WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND YOU STOPPED HUMAN SMuGGLERS AT THE MEXICAN BORDER AND MADE THEM PAY A PRICE -THAT YOU AS A CIVILIAN CALLED A MILITARY AIRSTRIKE THAT KILLED 70 ISIS FIGHTERS YOU ARE THE FIRST AMERICAN IN GAZA DURING THE WAR WITH ISRAEL YOU DID 150 HIGH-RISK MISSIONS AND EVERYONE HAS BEEN A SUCCESS … BUT YOU TOLD ME IT’S ALL TRUE AND YOU DON’T NEED TO PROVE IT TO ANYONE. BUT YOU’RE TALKING TO VOTERS NOW. HOW SHOULD VOTERS DECIDE WHETHER YOU LEAD ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY LIVES IN HUMAN HISTORY OR WHETHER YOU ARE LIAR AND A FRAUD?
Wow, it’s Al Gore and his “serial exaggerations” all over again. Except … Al Gore was more modest and happened to be largely true? Maybe there’s Hillary Clinton and Bosnian snipers? Except here it is just fabricated fantasy life. Mr. Marx responds by pulling a Richard Nixon, pulls in his dog his defense. Are you calling my dog a liar? Why is his dog at the debate stage anyways?
In the idea of this as “most extraordinary life in human history”. I do present the curious case of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Blue Dog Democrat of a Southern Washington district and her standard issue Reed College experience. Your mileage may vary in determining things, and it is good to put into office people of different experiences. It is curious that the NY Post has a dump of this stuff in an article to reverberate around three election cycles into her career, as none of it was ever hidden — but I suppose her initial election was an “out of nowhere” win and right now the Republicans are looking for election contests they think they could win. You would like to think a person with this cool background would do some good in Congress, but she fails my litmus tests — big backer of ICE, the “one of five Democrats” who cast a vote on this or that draconian immigration measure, and it spills off into our military. I guess she made a measure of her district and decided that the way to keep in . The president has named her a “radical far leftist” and about the only thing we can get in to support the premise is her college hobbies and the bigger scandal that she peddled substandard weed, misses the mark of the better business bureau.
Yeah, I know — let’s examine every congressional asshat’s frat initiation history and see that the fetish gear parade is tame…
