The ignorance of some elected officials thread

[JettaKnight]

This member of the House, doesn't even know that, the United States of America.... is a democratic republic, and not a democracy. Very sad!

Meh.

Kind of ironic that INGO is criticizing a politician for mislabeling when one of our pastimes is to label any democrat we disagree with a communist or traitor.

FTFY.

And we can't even agree what the correct label is.

How about “communist traitor”?
Or maybe “treasonous communist”?

How about Oath Breaker, that is my go to when I write to Pete Viscloski.

Yep, the Johnson clip is classic. "and with more population it's possible the island could tip over and capsize." Unbelievable. Truly.

And yes............. AOC is giving him a run for his money, for the 'clueless' title.

Beat me to it. The Hank Johnson video is tops. Props to the flag rank officer for keeping his bearing-- should have been decorated for gallantry in the face of extreme adversity.

Most folks in America don't know the the three branches of the Federal Government. Much less what each branch does.

Duh! That's easy. The Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria!

What do I win?

I don't think we'll ever top Rep Johnson.
AOC is certainly trying though.

Our local guy Greg "Obtuse" Taylor sure is trying. Either he is a liar or a moron given his comments I have heard firsthand. And I'll say that to his face.

Democrats are communist traitors and Republicans are racist, homophobic, xenophobic, fascist nazis. Or so I've heard.

What country do you have to come from to be called "xeno's"?

Guess I had better be practicing up on my phobic skills...

Those are space aliens.

Those are space aliens.

Guess that should be covered by "don't ask, don't tell".

Thanks for the info, sounds like I just need to stay away from Walmart after hours...

When you consider everyone to the left of you an enemy, and that tends to include anyone you disagree with, you might be an extremist.

"They" do this a lot... but "our side" isn't immune to that same mindset.

I think it's all just LARPing for bored people, anyway.

So, what does everyone here think of Sen. Bernie Sanders saying that jailed rapists, murderers and even the Boston Marathon bomber..... should be able to vote (from prison) in national elections?

I think that's a prime example of elected officials ignorance.....

Oh, and don't forget.... that would include the Wisconsin terrorist woman, from my other thread.

I think he thinks they vote democrat.

You're probably correct. BUT......... old Bern might get a surprise.

Some of those 'lifers' might be taking a shine to Pete Booty-gig, eh!?

I’m pretty much convinced that there isn’t any length the Democrats would’nt be willing to go if they thought it could harvest more votes.

Hard core incarcerated felons, illegal immigrants from all over the globe, 16yr old kids, dead people and so on

"The only good Republican is a dead Republican, then they can and will vote Democrat" is their motto...
