CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasses'

Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

I can't find anywhere in that link where it says he was coming from a tea party event, unless maybe you saw that somewhere else or I'm skipping over it. It read to me as if he had just gotten out of a town hall type thing rather than a tea party meeting.

Which makes me question why he would even bring up the tea party when talking about "dumbass" birthers.

Do you have a link or anything saying exactly where he was coming from? I can't find anything.

You did note of course that the little dickweed had been following him around for MONTHS with a tape recorder to find some sort of 'gotcha' statement...right?
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

Seriously, that's alreaady been done. If someone isn't buying what has been presented, nothing will satisfy them.

In Oregon we are required to present a birth certificate at the time we get or renew a drivers license. I asked if they would go to my personal web page to look at my birth certificate and DMV told me I would have to bring the physical certificate in so they could be sure it was real.

I guess the standard for a license is higher than the standard for the keys to our nuclear arsenal.... who would have known.

Both are examples of how extremists on BOTH sides of the political aisle allow partisanship to blind them to common sense...

See the above post.

This of course the same Ken Buck that made the "high heels" comment.
http://www.debatepolitics.com/breaking-news-blogs/77614-high-heels-trip-up-colo-candidate.html

Does anyone think he stands a chance after all this? Is the tea party going to get mad at a Republican candidate for saying something like this?

I'm not holding my breath.

What say you?

Are the Liberals that accused Bush of orchestrating 9/11 and being AWOL from the service, are they equally as dumb?

They arent dumbasses...THEY are ****ing morons...
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

Agreed, but I see little difference between a dumbass and a ****ing moron.

My goal was to get some Libral input on the matter, so allow them to answer.

The State of Hawaii has already confirmed that he was born in the state and I believe they issued a certified copy of his birth certificate to dispell these absurd birthers doubts... obviously without effect... let up on it and focus on legitimate policy disagreements... he is the president AND he meets the Constitutional requirements for the office...

Yes, the truthers are dumbasses. I'm admittedly ignorant on the Bush awol subject, I really now next to nothing about it so I won't even comment on it.

I'd also like to point out that I never called the birthers dumbasses.They are, but I never said it ;) That was the guy that the link pointed to.

That was in the link. I knew it.

Should we just ignore what Blagojevich said on his phone conversations because they had been tapping his phones for a long time? Both sides always have people following politicians around with tape recorders. It's nothing new.

Don't worry, I'm not expecting an answer ;)
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

I cannot stand obama but this birth certificate nonsense is worthless. There are so many GOOD reasons why Obama shouldn't be president

This is pretty much how I feel too,... But when I see so many people line up and demand there's nothing to see here,... "look over there!"

I don't know,.... I've always watched the magician's other hand,... the one he doesn't want you to watch.

The more people want me to move on about Obummer's birthplace,... the more it makes me think there could be something more to it.

I'm the same way about Sarah Palin,.... the more the left hates on her the more I am intrigued by and appreciative of her,...
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

MSNBC has been trying to spin this story to make us believe there are tons of birthers in the tea party. They act like he has shot himself in the foot for calling them dumbasses. He regrets calling them that but just wants to get back to more important issues.
As far as the high heel comments and the whole thing about cowboy boots. Somebody (MSNBC) is not telling the whole story. I don't remember the details, but the woman running against him brought that on. She was commenting on either his boots, her heels or his manhood or something. I don't remember but anyways shame on MSNBC for not telling the whole story. They'll do anything to discredit someone backed by the tea party.

59% of people that classify themselves as "Tea Party Supporters" either believe Obama was born in a foreign country or do not know. I would say that makes a super-majority of tea partiers birthers or, at the very least, birther sympathizers. Clearly the Tea Party has, to date, become safe haven for those with this wackadoo view of life.

Tea Party Supporters: Who They Are and What They Believe - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Ken Buck is closely associated with the tea party movement. He is "their guy" in Colorado, as opposed the the Republican party favorite Jane Norton. His comments disparaging fellow tea partiers is, perhaps the most intelligent thing he has said to date. At least we have hope for intelligent life within the tea party.

Why do you assume I wont answer...you think I'm some wilting flower that doesnt get a little...I dont know...combative? ;)

Let me ask you...have YOU ever muttered something about a FRIEND...hell...maybe even a FAMILY member that was unflattering? Of COURSE you have. You just didnt have some little weasel following you around to report it. And THATS what he came up with? THATS what gets media attention? THATS the zing? A politician calls tea party members that happens to be birthers dumbasses because they are distracting from the legit attacks on spending, unemployment, etc? As Jon Stewart would mockingly say..."Oh SNAP!!!"

But that's the thing. I'd like to know if the guy introduced himself as a tea partier and then asked about Obama's birth certificate, which would make this guys statement much more benign, or if this guy asked this question like a dumbass and this Ken guy just thought to himself "this guys a dumbass, must be with the tea party."

I'd also just like to point out that you didn't actually answer the question I posed to you about Blagojevich. If you're going to include an "oh snap" it would be much more appropriate with an answer that actually answers the question. Do you feel for this guy cause you're a politician too? Cause that last post sure seemed like you were trained to answer like one ;)

Night and day difference wouldnt you say? Blago is a POS Illinois politician that was in dealings with the administration and was being investigated for criminal activity...criminal activity on both sides one might point out. Which means in Blago's case he actually cuased there to be government scrutiny.

Now...do I FEEL for Blago? Nah...I dont. Do I CARE about him? Nope. I think this whole thing is a tempest in a teapot. It assumes that Blago is the only corrupt politician in America and that this kind of under the table bull**** doesnt occur on a regular basis.

However it IS pretty interesting that YOU would compare the two. My example was i think much more appropriate. Blago was taped in the commission of an alleged felony, while the other guy was being taped in an every day manner. So...what about YOU...do you really want us to believe you have never snapped and made a negative comment about a loved one? Thank GOODNESS no one was there with a camera or a recorder or you would be kicked out of the family...because thats such a HORRIBLE thing...

I've snapped about a love one, sure. But I'm pretty sure if someone followed me around with a tape recorder for months and finally caught me saying "damn, my fiance is a dumbass" she would at the very least give me hell trying to make up for it or reconsider the marriage.

My whole point is this. Don't fall back on BS about how we can't say anything about the guy because those mean old democrats followed him around with a tape recorder. If you don't think what he said was so bad, hey, I understand that. I don't think what he said was bad either, but i do know that the tea party would have blown it's lid if it were a democrat to say the same thing. I just think we should base our judgement on what was said and the context that was in, not on how what he said was recorded.

I wasn't trying to compare Blago and this guy other than they both didn't know they were being recorded. Blago is obviously a douche that should be thrown in jail.

What EXACTLY WAS the point of your thread or THIS story? Come on...you can say it...we all know it...TROUBLE IN PARADISE!!! STIR IT UP!!! Man...Tea Party is UNRAVELING! WEAKEN Republican candidates and get them infighting.

Your girlfried MIGHT say...yeah...I guess I WAS being kinda a dumbass...or she may disagree but still love you...or she may recognize that sometimes people speak out of hat and recognize she has probably called you an asshole a time or two...OR she may just say **** YOU YOU SCUMBAG for calling me a dumbass, this relationship is over. And then you would be pissed because her exboyfriend was the guy following you around for months waiting for you to say something stupid.

You shouldn't assume.

I didn't post this for any of those reasons. That's why i didn't write any of the crap that you just wrote. I posted it cause I thought it was a funny story and wanted peoples opinions of it. Idk why that would upset you so much...

SHOOOOOORE ya did...and Im sure thats the whole reason it was made into a news story and you thought it was fun enough to start a thread about it...OK...I'll buy it...
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

yeah they are sort of like the "Bush was AWOL" crowd

Nah - they're more comparable to the "Triggers*"

*Believers that Trig Palin is really Bristol's first son
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

seems like Bambi could bitch slap them all to hell by merely coughing up his real birth certificate.

Are you kidding me? It's WAY more fun to watch the more sane of the Republicans try and deal with them.
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck (R) said:
Will you tell those dumbasses at the Tea Party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I'm on the camera..



:giggle: @ Birthers

heheh thanks for the giggles.

Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

I too am sick of dumbasses asking me about Obama's birth certificate. I get asked quite a bit living in Alabama.

Why? is he a cousin?
 
Re: CO-Sen (R) Cand. Ken Buck: Tea Partiers questioning Obama's citizenship 'dumbasse

good points presented in a positive manner.

I think the Tea party might be mad at him for trying to smear the Tea Party by trying to associate the Tea party with conspiracy loons with this statement. But I do not see the tea party getting mad at the fact that birthers are bunch of ****ing tin foil hat wearing conspiracy loons.
