Aaaaarrrrggghhh
Just when you thought that the Texas Lieutenant Governor’s race could not get any wackier, you realize that you have indeed underestimated the wacky in Dan Patrick’s body.
During a debate between candidates in the lieutenant governor race, an audience member asked state Sen. Dan Patrick (R), who will likely win the election, how much money he would spend to “cool the environment.”
Patrick said he would spend “zero dollars” to combat climate change.
“I understand why Obama thinks he can change the weather — because he thinks he’s God,” he said, as recorded by Raw Story. “He thinks he is the smartest person in the country.
So, Obama thinks he’s God. Well, I guess that beats being a Socialist Kenyan Muslim Narcoterrorist, which is what Patrick thought the President was yesterday.
Thanks to Deb and Frank for the heads up.
I get so confused. One day, Obama is a tyrant. The next day (sometimes the next few minutes), he is too weak to stand up for America. Which is it? I need to know now, so I can know how to hate him. I wonder if the average FAUX viewer notices the contradictions?
1The average FAUX viewer doesn’t notice when they are talking about Russian troop movements and showing North Koreans marching and driving tanks. I caught that one when I was elder sitting one afternoon. Very misleading as the North Koreans looked very fierce and threatening and it was during a time the Russians weren’t really doing anything.
2What an arrogant ignoramus he is, playing to the basest emotions. Maybe God (Obama) will smite him…hard.
3Old Dan needs an opportunity to understand climate change first hand. Tie him to one of the launch pads that NASA abandoned due to rising sea levels.
Leticia Van de Putte will annihilate the idiot.
4@ Susan F # 2 to the typical Fux Noise viewer there really is no difference. Unless they’d highlight the minor skin tone discrepancy between the average North Korean and the average Russian.The Russians have really not done anything lately except for the invasion of Georgia which passed without comment by the right wing and the time their army was occupying several front line divisions of the Wehrmacht which allowed us to get firmly ashore at Normandy.I guess there was that time they tried Afghanistan,but we created and armed the Taliban and beat them back until it was our turn.
5I’m plannin’ on Leticia winning. The thought of Patrick in office makes my neuropathy worse.
6Leticia SHOULD annilhilate the idiot. But do not take a single vote(r) for granted. One OR county I’m very familiar with just elected a constitutionalist carpetbagging ethically challenged teabagger with big NRA ties over a VERY competent, experienced, moderate, well-endorsed county government employee for County Commission with 51% of the primary vote, so there will be no November run off. Notably, the voter turnout (in a mail in ballot state no less) was about 41%. GOTV is going to be the bottom line across the entire country.
7Exactly what stupid would say. No surprise at all here.
8@ Marge Wood #6: Do you mean the numbness or the stabbing pain? Could be either or alternately both.
9JJ,
10You keep making a distinction between The Texas Tea Party and the Texas Republicans. I would have said that the only difference is that the mainstream Republicans know better than to say crazy shite on camera, but it’s not true. They’re as crazy as the teabaggers. How do you look people in the eye, knowing they voted for people like Perry, Patrick, Gohmert and Cruz, let alone Stockman? And that’s at the National level- I’m guessing quite a few of your State Reps are squirrelier still.
Well hell, D. Patrick s new attack ad on tv was interesting.
Not only did he go after Dewherst, he threw in the President and the Presidents “favorite liberal” Mayor Castro of San Antonio.
11I take it he has gave up on Bexar county.
But will they be coming to our state?

12To Wally: there is NO difference between teataliban and the “mainstream” repugnican’t…they are now one and the same. If you remember, the teabaggers actually started out NOT talking about social issues, they SAID they were for fiscal sanity. Meaning cut taxes and no deficit, I guess…But very soon they morphed into ignorant redneck whites carrying misspelled signs and making ugly monkey jokes about our president. It didn’t take long. And at that point, the “regular” republican disappeared altogether, and now we just have one political party, while the other is Cirque de Stupide.
13I’m pretty sure that President Obama does think he’s much smarter than Dan Patrick–and he’s right.
I suspect there are rocks that think they’re smarter than Patrick–and they are also right.
14Well of COURSE Obama can control the weather! Haven’t you figured out the reason for all that drought in Texas yet? He also has trained a super breed of enormous, vicious wild hogs he plans to let loose on all the white virgin conservative females in Texas.
