With the media sneering about the Tea Party candidates being a bunch of nuts, how about we take a look at some of the Democrats running this year?
We’ve got Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, who personally presided over the housing crash after getting that gay prostitution business behind him. Of course, Frank’s actions are nothing compared to Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul’s alleged participation in a college prank. Now, THERE’S a scandal!
California Sen. Barbara Boxer refuses to say whether a newborn baby is a human life. When Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn., asked her on the Senate floor a few years ago whether she believed a baby born alive has a constitutionally protected a right to live, Boxer was stuck for an answer. Her nonresponsive replies included these:
“I support the Roe v. Wade decision. …
“I think when you bring your baby home, when your baby is born—and the baby belongs to your family and has all the rights. …
“Define ‘separation’ …
“You mean the baby has been birthed and is now in its mother’s arms? …
“The baby is born when the baby is born. That is the answer to the question. …
“I am not answering these questions! I am not answering these questions!”
(Also, I think she said: “Please call me ‘senator.’”)
That’s not Patty Murray-stupid, but it’s still pretty stupid. How many late-term abortions are you planning to get, Californians, that it’s worth being represented by such a cretinous woman?
Even if you are under the misimpression that Boxer’s Republican opponent, Carly Fiorina, is somehow going to outlaw abortion in California, Carly will cut your taxes so much that you’d be able to fly to Sweden for all your abortions and still come out ahead!
Liberals are indignant that Sarah Palin writes speech notes to herself on her hand. This week, Alex Sink, the Democratic candidate for governor in Florida, was slipped a debating point by her makeup artist, texted by a campaign aide in violation of the rules during a debate with her Republican opponent, Rick Scott.
Oh, those thick Tea Party candidates!
Last weekend, Illinois governor Pat Quinn—Rod Blagojevich’s running mate—stood silently as his supporter, state Sen. Rickey Hendon, blasted Quinn’s Republican opponent, Bill Brady, as “idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic.”
Hendon has repeatedly made headlines over the past few years for his inappropriate behavior toward female colleagues. Once—during a Senate debate—he asked Sen. Cheryl Axley if her hair was naturally blond and then publicly propositioned her.
Another time, Hendon tackled Rep. Robin L. Kelly, knocking her to the ground after a House-Senate softball game she had come to watch in office attire.
Of the impeccable Brady, Hendon wailed: “If you think that women have no rights whatsoever, except to have his children, vote for Bill Brady. If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head, vote for Bill Brady.”
Even the Chicago press was shocked by this, calling on Quinn to apologize. Quinn has “renounced” Hendon’s remarks, but refused to apologize.
But watch out for the Tea Party candidates! There are some real loose cannons in that bunch.
Also last week, Rep. Ron Klein, Democrat of Florida, hysterically claimed he had been “threatened” by one of the Vietnam Veteran bikers supporting his Republican opponent, Allen West.
The man who had allegedly “threatened” Klein is 60 years old and goes by the terrifying name of … “Miami Mike.” Mike told the Miami Herald that he had simply e-mailed Klein, saying that he deserved to be voted out of office and, in addition, he needed “a good ass-kicking, which I’d be more than happy to do even though I’m a lot older than you.”
As Miami Mike said: “A threat? Give me a break. He cannot be scared of what I wrote. If he is, he is just a real baby.”
Apparently so. Klein turned Mike’s e-mail over to the Capitol police, where they promptly burst out laughing and then ordered framed copies of the e-mail.
Speaking of little girls in pink party dresses, Keith Olbermann has repeatedly claimed that Allen West “disgraced his uniform.” Weirdly, he never gives details of how he thinks West did that. (Maybe Olbermann could check on war-zone protocol with fake-Vietnam War veteran Dick Blumenthal, who’s running for the Senate from Connecticut by lying about having served in Vietnam.)
As a colonel in Iraq, West was interrogating an Iraqi terrorist who knew about a planned ambush. Unable to get him to talk, West shot a gun near the terrorist’s head, whereupon the frightened but unharmed detainee spilled the beans.
Because of that, West’s men were able to capture a potential attacker and identify future ambush sites. There were no further attacks on West’s men.
As West later told The New York Times, “There are rules and regulations, and there’s protecting your soldiers.” He said, “I just felt I’d never have to write a letter of condolence home to a ‘rule and regulation.’”
When the Army considered court-martialing West, thousands of letters poured in defending West and thanking him for what he had done. Ninety-five members of Congress signed a letter to the secretary of the Army in support of West. No court-martial was ever convened.
Liberals won’t say that John Phillip Walker Lindh disgraced his country. Washington Sen. Patty Murray thinks Osama bin Laden is a swell guy for building “day care centers” in Afghanistan. But they say a hero like Allen West “disgraced his uniform” by saving the lives of American soldiers.
Yeah, the Tea Party candidates are a real embarrassment.

Coulter has been a major media personality for more than 20 years, after starting on MSNBC their first day on air in July 1996.
She has appeared on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, PBS’s Frontline, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The Tonight Show, Good Morning Britain, Yahoo News, and a slew of other U.S. and international TV shows.

A Connecticut native, Coulter graduated with honors from Cornell University School of Arts & Sciences and received her J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, where she was an editor of The Michigan Law Review.
After practicing law for a few, very long years in New York City, Coulter moved to Washington to work for the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she handled crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan. From there, she became a litigator with the Center For Individual Rights in Washington, DC, focusing on free speech, congressional power, and race discrimination cases.
Within a year, Coulter took a short leave of absence from her law firm to write her first New York Times bestseller, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton.
