Compassionate conservatism.

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/nevada-gop-congressman-my-kids-will-not-be-a-drain-on-society-like-disabled-children/

Rep. Cresent Hardy (R-NV) said recently at a Libertarian Party event that he hoped his children would never be a “drain on society” like people who were disabled.

In audio published this week by the Nevada State Democratic Party, Hardy can be heard speaking to attendees at the Libertarian Political Expo in Las Vegas.

“I have three children,” Hardy explains. “One of them is summa cum laude and two were magnum cum laude. The other one, he didn’t need an education. He works for Raytheon, smarter than all the rest. He works hard, he builds things that are genius. Some people have that ability.”

“But they all work hard. They are raising their own families,” he continued. “They will not be a drain on society, the best they can. Hopefully they will never have some disability that causes them to have to utilize that.”

That's your problem.

Why was he at a Libertarian Party event? And I think the subject is misleading and is taken out of context. Still sounds horrible and he should apologize.

The base is made up of rural Cliven Bundy like ranchers, Mormons, and Libertarian minded Las Vegas businessmen.

He's on borrowed time, anyway. This is the sort of thing you get when wave elections happen.

The titles always exaggerate and hyperbolize what was said.

Of course Hardy will lose in 2016, but we knew that anyway.

Are you both blind or just plain idiots? The title of the thread is the title of the article as is obvious from the link.

Yes, he's the most vulnerable Pub in the House, unless Guinta somehow runs for re-election and secures the nomination. I suspect the next most vulnerable, with no knowledge of how might be running, is my own CD, NY-19, which is open, assuming Hillary is at the top of the ticket. One thing moving the CD more Dem, is that a court case in NY held that voters could vote where their second vacation home is located, and thus a lot of NY metro area folks, mostly liberal, because they like the art scene, and the gay scene, and the back to nature organic scene,  and so forth, are voting up here now in large numbers, in part because where they live, for district based races, there is nothing that is competitive.

Why would a politician attend an event for a party that they are not a member of?

I may retract my older statement that this is Safe D - Hardy has a history of saying deplorable things. The guys win was based on 2014, but also based on knocking on thousands upon thousands of doors and running a grassroots campaign. It's still Likely D, but its not a 100% loss.
