Wingnuts go after Bono Mack and husband

[Holmes]

It was probably a bit of a shock to her when she saw the headline above that I captured in a screen shot from the Republican Party blog, Red State: Mary Bono Mack Should Be Burned In Effigy And Voted out Of Office. It was written by Georgia Republican Party operative Erick Erickson and something tells me Erickson isn't about to endorse Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet, who's not just gay, but married (to another man) and happily raising their two children! Too far a stretch for Republicans who seem to always be involved with "opposite marriages," or whatever they call the degrading situations traditional marriage sanctity defenders like Mark Sanford, David Diapers Vitter, Larry Craig and John Ensign are in.

Erickson and the fringe loons on the furthest reaches of the non-criminal right are so upset with Bono Mack that they are threatening to not just defeat her but to go after the right-wing extremist husband to boot! He demands that she vote against health care reform and against the energy bill when it comes back from the Senate-- where it will probably be watered down and look more acceptable to mainstream conservatives!!!-- or face the consequences.

"Otherwise, we beat her and her husband at the polls.

Yes, you heard me. We can get at Mary Bono Mack in two ways-- her district and that of her husband. He should feel the heat just as much as her."

You heard them. They're taking down Bono Mack and Mack IV!

The sad part though, is that maybe they can take down Bono Mack - but then what? They'll just end up with Representative Pougnet. I'm sure the Georgia Republican Party would just hate that...

wow, RedState needs to take a chill pill over some of these vote things.    Her husband should lose office too because his wife voted with the Democrats on one bill but generally votes fairly straight-line in a district Obama won?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Democrats are far more forgiving. Obama voted for FISA and TARP and plenty of other things that pissed off the base.

So if RedState is "The Republican Party Blog" does that mean Daily Kos is "The Democrat Party Blog"?

[Holmes]

Well, the post was written by an operative of the Georgia Republican Party, and doesn't reflect the views of the owners of RedState(at least publicly). He could've written it anywhere and I still wouldn't shared it.

I guess though, I mean Democratic party officials also make posts on Daily Kos too.

Are you in competition with Coburn in 2012 to prove who is the biggest moron?
Then again it might be a bit difficult to beat your own self.

You do realize that Republicans do that on purpose just to piss you guys off right?

If we consider the degree of wit and intelligence shown by you on this forum, I doubt that was your real motivation.

[Holmes]

No. My thread about lamenting Bono Mack's primary will not be hijacked.

Well you can always count on px to jump in and start attacking people.

But anyway back on topic, I don't agree at all with the "hunt the RINO's" mentality.

You do realize that Republicans who do that give everybody the appearance of being childish and/or illiterate?  Quite the sacrifice for little return, don't you think?

Neither one is the official party blog, of course.

However, they are the chief go-to blogs for members of the House of Representatives to post guest diaries and address the faithful. I know of nowhere else which is used as a podium so frequently. Clearly the members of the House Republican Study Group (?) consider RedState their unofficial forum, just as Democratic Reps and Senators will go to Daily Kos to stir up the people or try to head off problems.

I like Connie Mack, But not Mary Bono Mack.

[Holmes]

Why? She's a total FF.

[Joe Republic]

This is odd.  As most of us know, Connie Mack's official last name is McGillicuddy, but Mary Bono only adopted 'Mack' into her name.  Can't say I blame her though.
