Democratic Congressional Candidate: Republicans Are Worse Than ISIS

[Iosif]

Why does everything have to descend into political hackery?

[DrScholl]

ISIS wouldn't even exist without Republican foreign policy.

That's almost as dumb as what the idiot in the OP said.

It's not dumb. If Iraq had not been invaded, there wouldn't have been an unstable environment for ISIS to take foot in. The instability created in Iraq is to blame for ISIS.

[DrScholl]

What a f(inks)ing stupid last line in the OP. It says "Keep it classy Democrats!" hence plural but quotes only one Democrat. It's duch extreme illogic the entire post is utter garbage.vwhy should I take anything you say seriously cinyc after that?

I don't know how many times I've read a post by someone with a red avatar pointing out something that some random Republican said, with their fellow red avatars thinking all Republicans think that and should be held accountable for that comment.  Heck, on the same day I posted this, someone posted a thread about what a Republican politician's unelected father said,  as if that is representative of anything other than what he thinks.  Yet, unsurprisingly,  I don't see you or anyone else complaining about that thread or calling it "utter garbage."

By Akin rules, the party owns what its candidates say. If the media wasn't inherently biased, all Democratic candidates would be asked if they agree with their fellow Democratic candidate that Republicans are worse than ISIS.  I'm sure there would be a few ultra-partisan Democratic candidates that would agree.

Akin was a major candidate with a chance at actually winning and the NRSC put money behind him, the same can't be said of this particular candidate. It's not exactly surprising when a candidate with no chance in a heavily opposition constituency says something stupid, but it is surprising when Republicans nominate such candidates for competitive seats.

Congrats on finding a Democrat who made an idiotic comment running for office in the upcoming election. Now you only need to find about 50 more before the ratio becomes 1:1.

Corrected.

Corrected.

Corrected further.

So, in your opinion, when will the "you broke it, you bought it" joke run it's course?  When will W not be blamed for anything bad that happens in Mesopotamia?

It all traces back to actions taken during the Bush Administration.

[dead0man]

That's not an answer.  That's a repeat

[DrScholl]

That's not an answer.  That's a repeat

Yes, it is, but I'll break it down so that you can understand it. Bush is to blame for the situation in Iraq, because actions have consequences. It's not a joke and Bush is not some little victim that everyone is piling blame on.

[dead0man]

Holy crap, reading, not your strong suit.

[DrScholl]

Holy crap, reading, not your strong suit.

Personal attacks don't change the fact that ISIS wouldn't exist without the needless military action in Iraq that the Bush Administration ordered.

[dead0man]

I'll break it down so that you can understand it.   WHEN (as in, what point in the future) will it stop (as in, no longer applicable) being W's fault.

[DrScholl]

It won't stop being his fault. When actions have long term consequences, fault doesn't ever cease.

[dead0man]

wow...well ok then.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Jesse T. Smith, who is running against Republican Rep. Mike Rogers wrote “the greatest country on earth is being bullied from within. Actions of Republicans in congress are worse than #ISIL.”

The truth hurts.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Europe hasn't stopped being at least partially to blame for Africa being worse off than the rest of the world just because several decades have passed.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Dumbass Democrat makes dumbass Tea Party-esque quote. No story here.

[New_Conservative]

He should not have said that.

Anything else?

these threads are supposed to have a point?

It's funny because Democrats love to post threads about Republican candidates acting like assholes, why can't people post threads about Democrats?

"duch" and "vwhy" are not words, so your post is utter garbage. What is with this bizarre pedantism of yours? First it was over "literally", which was fine enough, but it seems to be intensifying.

Phone typos. Different. cinyc however implied there was proof this opinion was held by more than one Democrat, and by Democrats who actually matter.

[Niemeyerite]

He should be running for Senate.

[KCDem]

Nothing inherently wrong with the statement.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Nothing inherently wrong with the statement.

Sure, it's completely correct - so long as you completely disregard the lives and cultures of the people of the Middle East being massacred and oppressed.
