Louie Gohmert’s Leadership PAC only got one contribution from another PAC in the third quarter.  And here it is.

Yeah, the only people who have not realized that Louie is totally nuts is the other people who are totally nuts.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Republican Brandt Iden is running for the Michigan House.  Well, he used to be.  Now he’s mostly running for cover.

The Michigan Republican Party thought it would be oh so hilarious to send out a mailer saying that the Democrat in the race, John Fisher, supports Obamacare and that Obamacare would leave us “all bedridden.”  The Michigan GOP includes a phone number for people to complain to Fisher about him wanting to make us bedridden.  And the phone number belongs to Fisher’s 91 year old mother who is – you guessed it – bedridden and in hospice.

Brandt says he doesn’t approve of this.  Hey, if you pick up a snake, you cannot complain when it bites you.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Louie says that (1) the reason the Secret Service can’t protect the President because of “political correctness.”  And then just to jack with your mind, he refuses to explain what this political correctness is, and (2) that the President sending 3,000 soldiers to Africa to catch ebola and “bring ebola back to us.”

No, I am not jacking with you.

Here’s Lou and Louie to break your brain.

And then there’s Rand Paul, who says the government is lying to us about ebola.  And we know that because the government lies about everything.

Paul, who’s laying groundwork for a potential presidential campaign, said “we should not underestimate the transmissibility of this” and questioned the validity to what experts have said.

He said officials and the government are letting “political correctness” stand in the way of serious discussion about the threat.

“It’s a big mistake to downplay and act as if ‘oh, this is not a big deal, we can control all this.’ This could get beyond our control,” he said.

What the hell?  Yeah, the enemy is political correctness?  If we would just let Louie and Rand call the President the N word then we’d be safe from ebola.  It’s your choice.  Let us use the N word or we all die.

EBOLA, y’all!  Get scared!  Blame someone.  Anyone, as long as they are a Democrat.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

I’ve asked you for money twice this election season and you came through both times.  First for the online ballot by mail request program for the Texas Democratic Party.  And then again for the mailing of ballot by mail applications.

I want to give you an update but I don’t have all the numbers yet for the entire state.  I can, however, give you some rough numbers for my own county.  Four years ago, we had 400 people vote by mail.  We have just passed 4,200 ballot by mail requests from people identified as Democrats.  I am told that is happening all across Texas.  You helped make that happen.

We are still doing chase calls of those people who got our mailing to make sure they mail it back to get a ballot.  We get the nicest people on the phone who thanks us profusely for the application.

It’s worked and I thank you.  I’ll have better numbers for you soon.

(I’ll ask you for a donation again next week but it will stay with my local party.  So don’t go on any shopping sprees this weekend.)

In case y’all haven’t heard, Michelle Obama is a dude.  A football playing dude.

Yep.  That’s a fact.

Here’s the sad part.  The rightwing’s latest conspiracy was lifted from a satire website who made the claims three years ago. Republicans have just now discovered it.

Okay, look, I know that I lament the difficulty of telling what’s satire now days.  But … really?

“Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States, was born Michael LaVaughn Robinson in Chicago, Illinois on January 17th, 1964. He was the second son born to Fraser Robinson III, a well known cocaine dealer and union thug for Crime Lord/Mayor Richard J. Daley, and Marian Shields Robinson, a transient street prostitute who was diagnosed with the HIV virus in 1998. He was a popular high school athlete and in 1982, he accepted a scholarship to play middle linebacker for the Oregon State Beavers.

After finishing a respectable rookie season with 88 tackles and 7.5 sacks, he suddenly dropped out of the school. Fellow teammates observed that Robinson could regularly be heard lamenting over how he is a “woman trapped inside a man’s body”, and on January 13th, 1983, he underwent sex reassignment surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. To hide the shame of his new identity, Michael left Oregon State to attend Princeton University under his new legal name, “Michelle Robinson”. Years later, he met Barry Obama Jr. a Kenyan immigrant who later became aware of “Michelle’s” true identity. They subsequently married and adopted two children.”

The satire site even offers completely believable photographic evidence.

Michelle is #44.  And the www.yearbookyourself on the left hand corner was not a dead giveaway for them.  Okay, it probably was but why waste a good, completely false story.

Republicans are reaching out to women, especially the young ones.

So how did they do it?  Say YES To The Candidate! They make an ad letting young women know that picking a candidate is like picking a dress.

Exactly like it! Holy cow, this is easy.  Even a blonde can pick a candidate because it’s exactly like …

Hey, y’all, it’s how most of the blondes on Fox pick their candidates.

Holy cow.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
