he’ll meet with gays.
If he loses, he keeps hanging with Neanderthals.
He learned that from beej
He’s underestimating gays and their allies. In a few years he’ll be relegated to the dustbin of history, like all the (out in the open) racists were. It won’t matter if he wins or loses; he won’t be electable in 2016. Words like that will be too much to say out loud.
Maybe he should try resisting his attraction to women, see how that works for him.
Judging by the polls, women are certainly succeeding in resisting Buck’s attraction to them!
So saying he’s an ignorant boob in the presence of those he insults does what again?
Or, at least Buck thinks so. Who ever chose to be straight? I’ve never met a soul who chose either. But there are plenty of blessings, either way. The luck of the draw can be truly wonderful if we all just relax about it. Including the TeaPublican doofus Buck. Maybe, he meant after he wins, he’ll choose.
From wadhams to tancredo to buck to so many of the other candidates they are running this year. These hypocrites talk about Christian family values, yet none of them display it in their everyday lives.
All they care about is power and money and screw anyone who stands in the way of their powergrab. The next thing you know they will be assualting people who disagree with them – oh wait the right wing fascists in Kentucky already did.
The right wing is a selfish movement. Ken Buck wants you to treat him with respect, but it’s perfectly OK if he disrespects you.
Buck hasn’t just been the Weld County DA. He was also Marilyn Musgrave’s campaign chairman. The apple doesn’t fall far from the craggy intolerant tree, does it?
I never knew that. Learn something new every day.
Buck did prosecute the killer of Angie Zapata and win using the Colorado Hate Crimes statute.
I do not know if he gained any knowledge of the LGBT community or life from that experience. From his ignorant statement putting gays (he did not say if that was gay men, gay women or both) in the same categories as disease and alcoholics tells me he did not.
Because of his statement and his extreme and rather unconstitutional statements I now think that he purposely did not learn. Too bad. Ignorance can be overcome with knowledge – sometimes.
He worked closely with Fred Sainz according to the paper whose name shall not be mentioned, as well as GLAAD and others during a time that it was widely known that he was about to enter the race for US Senate. He was well-trained.
The only choice here was the choice he made to dog whistle for Republican votes rather than to treat people with dignity and respect, which he knows how to do after working so closely with Sainz and GLAAD.
Even if he forgot all that training under the stress of the wet-noodle whipping he was getting from David Gregory, anybody with the least bit of humanity knows that speaking of a group of people using the term “alcoholism” would be sort of insulting to that group.
For example: conservatives must think they were born that way. Otherwise, being a conservative would be just “like alcoholism and some other things.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
meet with gays.
Epic moment for Colorado – http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo…
But as long as he only teabags in moderation, not to worry, right?
Mmmmmm.
One left wing blog repeats the misstatements of another left wing blog about what Buck said. “but that they might reist such attractions the way alcoholics resist drinking” is made up bull shit.
Choice one. The spineless spender.
Choice two. The DA with the guts to prosecute someone who killed a transgender person for being transgender. Yes, he makes his fair share of politically incorrect statements, but his actions define him. Just like Bennets lack of spine define him.
To help refresh the LGBT collective recollection:
Like choosing to prosecute a high profile case in order to boost his visibility?
I didn’t think that was the case when he ran for office, until his sexist and homophobic remarks began piling up.
To be clear, I’m not saying his decision to prosecute wasn’t solely for that reason, since the law and the evidence were both crystal clear, but others have already pointed out how he worked with LGBT groups while that was happening, and he clearly didn’t learn a thing from them. A less ambitious DA would have.
he doesn’t support to get a conviction he despirately wanted.
Big deal.
That just shows he’s a good prosecutor. That does not show that he would be a good legislator.
There seems to be this weird belief in Buck’s camp that because he’s supposedly a good prosecutor he would make a great legislator. As if they’re similar.
It’s ridiculous.
that kind of thinking permeates all parties and people. “Vote for me – I’m a successful businessman!” Or, “My husband (or dad) was President!” Or, “I articulate your feelings perfectly!” Or, “I was a general who won a war!” All true, and none having a hell of a lot to do with one’s practical qualifications for office.
is a bit different than who’s your daddy. Ike was a good general and a better president because he knew how to pick people, delegate authority, and make decisions.
That said, riding a popular relative’s coattails easily makes the weakest case out of the ones I listed.
…and the former generals make the strongest case.
on the proverbial other hand, one of my least favorite presidents, andrew Jackson, was a general. (my family is part cherokee and Jackson’s genocide didn’t endear him to the Voyageur clan.) But I guess the voters like it.
When was the last time a general ran for President? I wonder if the way our country views war, especially the type we’ve gotten ourselves into lately, has changed the way we view generals running for the presidency.
We’ve had a couple war heros run since Ike, Bob Dole and John McCain, but neither made it. And no general has tried since Ike, unless you count what’s is name, who briefly ran as a d., what, six years ago?
