On the heels of the lunacy that Arizona provides with Secretary of State Ken Bennett getting involved in an e-mail volleyball game with the state of Hawaii over President Obama's birth certificate, we now have another less than intelligent republican from Colorado who is jumping on the birther bandwagon!
Today we have US Rep Mike Coffman making asinine comments, which were caught on tape..........then when confronted by a TV reporter, Coffman went into full clam up mode (see video http://ed.msnbc.msn.com/ ) uttering the same answer multiple times.
The only utterance to the reporters questions were to reply multiple times with the same idiotic: "I stand by my statement that I mispoke and I appologize"!
Now Mr. Coffman also says: "I don’t believe the president shares my belief in American Exceptionalism. His policies reflect a philosophy that America is but one nation among many equals."
If Mr. Coffman is an example of Exceptionalism, then he must have extremely low standards & his voters/supporters must have equally low standards if this is what they chose to represent them.
After this idiotic comment, it brings to mind the question: What is it about the republican party that brings these lunatic rantings to the surface? If it was just one over the top loon in the GOP who regularly made iditoic comment's it could be explained off as just the one person with a weird way of expressing things, but this isn;t limited to just one person in the GOP. It's more than a few that generally toss out comments that makes people question the speakers mindest.
To name a few in the GOP off the top of my head who are regularly uttering stupid comments:
1) Michelle Bachmann (MN) - She's pretty wacky, and doesn't mind going on the record to make sure the public knows she's wacky.
2) Virginia Foxx (NC) - This might be a symptom of getting on in years, but Ms. Foxx has crossed the nutjob line more than a few times with utterances that boggle the thinking mind.
3) Stephen King (IA) - Mr. King is one who's not afraid to say what's on his mind, regardless of how utterly asinine it might be or how it comes across.
4) Louie Gohmert (TX) - Mr. Gohemert came out with the "terror basbies" comment a few months back, and just in the annals of stupid utterances he might be the winner.
Stay tuned, because these four aren't the only loons in the GOP, there are others who, during this election season will pull out all the stops to make sure they can say something as incredibly stupid as the last republican.
One last thought, if this is the level of thinking that comes from these elected officials, what is the mental state and capacity of those that vote these clowns into office?!?!
