Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the Third, Senator from and Great State of Alabama, warns America of a new Danger

It’s Elena Kagan, President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court!

“Be careful about it, because I'm afraid that we have a dangerous, progressive, political-type nominee."

[…]

"I don't think the American people are going to hold harmless those who vote to impose a legal progressive, activist legislator from the bench upon them,"

Kagan as a “dangerous, progressive, political-type” “legal progressive, activist legislator from the bench.”

Whoa. Really Scary, Jeff.

Maybe Jefferson can propose this as the title for the next Hollywood Horror Thriller or a Foxnews special.

You know, if she turns out to be an “activist legislator from the bench,” she’ll fit in quite nicely with Judge Roberts and his friends. That wouldn't be so bad, huh, Jeff Sessions 3?

Vast Global Global Warming Conspiracy Growing GLOBALLY

All Good Right Wingers know that Global Warming is Fake, Man. It is a hoax – the greatest hoax known to mankind.

Of course, the best time to read about the Global Warming Hoax on the wingnut-O-sphere is during the Winter – preferably during a snowstorm. It is the winter when you can count on various Nutters of all varieties take time to point out that snow and cold weather obviously proves that Global Warming is a Hoax. In the summer, these fine folks, I believe, tend to stay indoors with the air conditioning cranked typing nary a word about the relationship of weather to Global Warming. One can only wonder why they remain silent when record heat waves bake the Country. Second thought, this is probably a smart strategy on these nutters’ part. Why draw unnecessary attention in a heat wave?

Powerline Blog is especially guilty of this sleazy trick when it informs its readers, who are probably not some of the sharper knives in the drawer begin with, that snow in the wintertime disproves Anthropogenic Global Warming. “How can there be warming,” the Nutter posits, “look at all the snow? We had snow back when I was a kid and there is snow now. See I told you that Liberal Scientists are all Tricksy and False?”

And on it goes. During a heat wave, these characters STFU. That is all I’m saying.

Unfortunately for the Wingers, the Global Global Warming Conspiracy just got even larger yesterday when the 2009 State of the Climate Report was released. By larger I mean that the Global Global Warming Conspiracy grew by more than 300 tricksy scientists from 160 research groups (call them cells - it sounds more ominous. Terrorists organize in cells.) from 48 countries.

Damn. Gonna need a lot snowstorms this winter to disprove all of this report.

BREAKING NEWS.....Glenn Beck's Real ID Discovered......He may be a LEPRECHAUN

Yellow ALERT - WINGNUTTERY WARNING DOWNGRADED – Yellow ALERT

Cameron-Gate – DAY 2

The Wingnuttery Red ALERT concerning Cameron-gate has been downgraded to code YELLOW. Look for a reduction in Wingnuttery to fall just below gale-force Shrillarity.

This Cameron-gate Wingnuttery ALERT has been downgraded to Code Yellow due to decreasing quality of Wingnuttery. Simply put, no prominent Neo-conservative has compared the British Government to “Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys” or something similar within the last 24 hours. Comrade Instapundit has called Prime Minister Cameron an Idiot however anyone can do this. Comrade Instapundit should be embarrassed by his lack of effort. These developments have allowed us to downgrade this Alert.

Stay watchful, however. The risk Shrillarity remains high. For example, a Prominent Neocon is now warning that the Turkish Government may (in the future) provide US Military Secrets to Iran. The truth is, we are warned, we simply don’t know if they will do it or not do it. Who can tell?

That is correct. He is pulling the old "we don’t know what we don’t know ruse." This is low quality wingnuttery. It is still Shrill, but not Red Alert Quality.

An Open Letter to Zach Wamp

I have some questions for Zach Wamp (R-TN) who is running to be the President and/or Governor of Tennessee.

Recently Zach threatened to secede from the Union if elected as President/Governor over the issue of health insurance reform. I don’t think Zach has fully thought this one out however, so I thought I’d help him out some. Here goes:

July 28, 2010



The Honorable Zach Wamp
Wamp for Governor/President
P.O.Box 23748
Chattanooga, TN 37422

RE: Secession from the United States of America

Hey Zach,

I hear you recently threatened to withdraw Tennessee from the United States of America over the issue of health insurance reform. Whoa, hardcore man. But I am not sure you thought this out very clearly. You know, it might not be such a good idea. For instance, did you know did you know that a survey error in the 1800s mistakenly set the Georgia – Tennessee Line further south than it should have legally been defined?

You probably didn't, right? Well, it is true. Actually parts of Chattanooga, TN are located in what should be the State of Georgia. Which is still in the USA.

After you secede from the Union and become the President of Tennessee, what is gonna stop the good old USA, the Union Army and the State of Georgia from moving the border back up to where it should be located and RE-claiming Chattanooga?
And since you are from Chattanooga, wouldn’t that disqualify you from being the President of Tennessee? Something to think about Zach.

You have to think that someone from Chattanooga, Georgia couldn't be the President of Tennessee, could he? I'd think that the President of Tennessee would have to be a natural born citizen of Tennessee and not some carpetbagger from Georgia.
How is your administration going to address the hoards of “BIRTHERS” shouting “Show us your Birth Certificate” every time your Presidential motorcade passes by?

And just what is going to stop the USA from extraditing you from Tennessee and bringing you back into the USA as a US citizen from Georgia to face charges for treason? Have you thought about that one, Zach?

I don’t know, Zach. Maybe secession ain’t such a good idea. Might want to think about it some more. Just my opinion anyway.

Your Friend,

/s/

Howard

I don't know if it'll work, but it is worth a shot (bad choice of words with secession talk, I know).


WARNING: Satire May be Present.

No Powerline Blog: Bush is not a Genius and Lincoln would not have been a TEABAGGER

Why do they do this?

The Right Wing Blogger Name Scott at Powerline Blog is trying to claim Abraham Lincoln as a Teabagger AGAIN:

Abraham Lincoln's argument with Stephen Douglas also came down to a disagreement over the Declaration of Independence. Lincoln articulated this disagreement with special gusto in his Abraham Lincoln's critique of Stephen Douglas on July 10, 1858.

According to Douglas, the teaching of the Declaration had no general applicability beyond the immediate situation that confronted the Founding Fathers. Restating Douglas's argument, Lincoln asked "in all soberness, if all these things, if indulged in, if ratified, if confirmed and endorsed, if taught to our children, and repeated to them, do not tend to rub out the sentiment of liberty in the country, and to transform this Government into a government of some other form." This is certainly one of the question that is raised in acute form by the doctrine of welfare state liberalism in general and by Obamacare as a case in point.

No, Right Wing Blogger Named Scott at Powerline Blog.

Douglas has to avoid discussion of the declaration of independence because he is a Democrat and Douglas want to be the Democratic Nominee for President in 1860. Douglas needs a two-thirds vote at the Democratic Convention in order to get the nomination. If he starts talking about the Declaration of Independence and “all men being created equal," it will piss off Southern States (because of SLAVERY), who will veto his nomination to be the Democratic Candidate for President. This eventually happens and the Democratic Party Splits in two after the 1860 Charleston Convention.

Lincoln is mocking Douglas because Lincoln is a clever Politician - not because he is a TEABAGGER against the unholy tyranny of health insurance reform. The Right Wing Blogger Named Scott at Powerline Blog continues:

The argument for the welfare state belongs in the same family as "the arguments that kings have made for enslaving the people in all ages of the world. You will find that all the arguments in favor of king-craft were of this class; they always bestrode the necks of the people, not that they wanted to do it, but because the people were better off for being ridden." That's Lincoln again.

Lincoln memorably derided the underlying principle as "the same old serpent that says you work and I eat, you toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it."

Lincoln’s arguments focused on Slavery not on the terrors of “Social Security” and “Medicare.” Actually it was Ronald Reagan that warned of the tyranny of “Medicare.” Get your facts straight.

If Lincoln were alive Today, I sincerely doubt that he would be leading a Secessionist Movement in the Southern States over the issue of health insurance reform. Some Politicians are doing this in the SOUTH, but I don't think Lincoln would have joined them. I just don’t see it, Right Wing Blogger Named Scott at Powerline Blog.

If you want a patron saint of Teabaggers you can have Reagan or Harding or Hoover or Coolidge or all of 'em. But you don’t get Honest Abe.

These guys just never stop. I am filing this one under "Confederate History Month" and "Unrepentant Wingnuts". He is a Wingnut who is unrepentant and who palls around with other Wingnuts who are also unrepentant about being wingnuts - thus Unrepentant Wingnuts.

RED ALERT - WINGNUTTERY WARNING IN EFFECT - RED ALERT

Day 1 – Cameron-gate

Holy Hay-Seuss. These guys never stop adding names to their enemies list. Word on the internets now has Great Britain and the Conservative party Prime Minister David Cameron being added to the Wingnut Welfare Society’s Great List of Enemies to the Cause.

The great CRIME you ask? Cameron said this in a speech in Turkey:

Just as Turkey is playing a pivotal role in Afghanistan, it can also do so in the Middle East. Turkey’s relationships in the region, both with Israel and the Arab world, are of incalculable value. No other country has the same potential to build understanding between Israel and the Arab world. I know that Gaza has led to real strains in Turkey’s relationship with Israel, but Turkey is a friend of Israel, and I urge Turkey, and Israel, not to give up on that friendship.

Let me be clear: the Israeli attack on the Gaza flotilla was completely unacceptable. And I have told Prime Minister Netanyahu we will expect the Israeli inquiry to be swift, transparent and rigorous. Let me also be clear that the situation in Gaza has to change. Humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions. Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp.

But as, hopefully, we move in the coming weeks to direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians so it is Turkey that can make the case for peace and Turkey that can help press the parties to come together and point the way to a just and viable solution. [em-mine]

I think the Gaza Strip – Prison Camp line sent the nutters over the edge into sheer and depraved Wingnuttery, sending various Nutters into a cross linking Flurry.

DISCLOSURE: For the Record I am not a Neoconservative. This means that I do not know EVERYTHING. This separates me from the actual Neoconservatives who, reportedly, do know everything about everything. Which leads one to wonder, if Neoconservatives know everything, why are they usually wrong? Naturally not being a Neoconservative, I do not know this answer. You would have to ask a real life Neoconservative to tell you why Neoconservatives are wrong so often. The Real Life Neoconservative, who does know everything, would then be able to tell why Neoconservatives, despite knowing everything, are so often wrong. The answer of which, by the way, would probably be either very unsatisfying or a non-answer at best.

Anyway, not being an Expert, I am not quite sure why the Conservative Party Prime Minister of America’s dearest Ally deserves the Full Metal Wingnut treatment. Gaza is severely fucked up. Everybody knows this - most especially the people living there, I suspect. Cameron knows this. People in Turkey know this. Everyone knows this.

Folks are naturally going to be more sympathetic to efforts to feed hungry people than they are to possess fealty to bizarre incomprehensible neoconservative political ideology. Who are you going to side with? Choice A – Hungry desperate people? Or choice B – the nocturnal scribblings of ranting Neoconservative Hucksters?

I pick choice A – Hungry folks. Yes I know there is terrorism. Yes I know the Place is fucked up. However I’ve already said that I don’t know everything. But what I do know, is that feeding hungry, desperate folks isn’t wrong.

I guess that could earn me a spot on the enemies list – of course there is absolutely no possibility that I will ever become the Prime Minister of Britain, if that matters. Probably doesn’t.

Another Probable Teabagger Off the Streets

The cops bag another right wing extremist.

Convicted felon Byron Williams loaded up his mother's Toyota Tundra with guns, strapped on his body armor and headed to San Francisco late Saturday night with one thing in mind: to kill workers at the American Civil Liberties Union and an environmental foundation, prosecutors say.

Williams, an anti-government zealot on parole for bank robbery, had hoped to "start a revolution" with the bloodshed at the ACLU and the Tides Foundation in San Francisco, authorities said.

But before he made it to the city, Williams was stopped at early Sunday by California Highway Patrol officers for speeding and driving erratically on westbound Interstate 580 west of Grand Avenue in Oakland.

Police say he then initiated a chaotic, 12-minute gunbattle with officers, firing a 9mm handgun, a .308-caliber rifle and a shotgun. He reloaded his weapons when he ran out of ammunition and stopped only after officers shot him in areas of his body not covered by his bullet-resistant vest, authorities said.

There is no evidence that this character owned a tricornered hat, dressed up like Ben Franklin or protested the Great Imaginary Tax Hike of 2009 but he seems to fit the profile of the various odd group of malcontents known as birthers, oath keepers, baggers and Militia members.

Chalk it up as another probable Bagger off the Streets.

Secessionist Candidate Relying on “Red-blooded” Americans to win GOP Primary

Quote of the Day:

“It’s a grassroots, blue-collar, red-blooded, lower-to-middle to middle-class new Republican voter. It’s not the country club people.”

Zach Wamp (R-TN) on the type of folks he thinks will vote for him in the GOP TN primary for Governor.

Zach is apparently oblivious to the irony of his call for Tennessee to secede from the Union and his reliance on Red-Blooded-Blue-Collar Americans to win an Election.

Now that I think about, if elected as President Governor of Tennessee, Zach Wamp may want to count the number of military bases in Tennessee before seceding from the Union.

I don't think you have an Air Force, Zach. I'm pretty sure you'd get a whuppin by Kentucky alone if push came to shove. For that matter, those coast guard units stationed along the Mississippi River, probably could put down your insurrection all by themselves. It wasn't too difficult for Grant to use the river system to take Nashville during the last Rebellion. And the Union has better boats today then we did back then.

Think Twice Zach. Just my advice.

This is the kinda shit that gets you EXCOMMUNICATED ! ! ! ! !

From the GOP that is:

I would add that I do disagree with the Republican fixation on taxation. Federal taxes as a share of GDP are at their lowest level in two or more generations—14.9% versus a postwar average of 18.2%. There is not one iota of evidence that the economy is suffering from excessive taxation and no evidence that the sorts of tax cuts favoured by Republicans—mainly tax cuts for the wealthy—would do any good given the nature of the economy’s problems. Tax cuts don’t help those with no incomes because they are unemployed, businesses running at a loss, or investors with a large stock of capital losses. In my view, the Republican obsession with taxes is based on pure dogma, not analysis.

Former Comrade Bruce Bartlett

Bruce is on to something here. Free Market Fundamentalism. The ideology of the GOP, Free Market Fundamentalism, is a lie. It is a construct designed to fool voters into believing in the wonder working ways of tax cuts and the omnipotence of the Free Market Almighty.

Because Republican leaders have spent a generation lying to their voters, their party can offer no leadership, no ideas, no solutions to the Nation’s budgetary challenges in the 21st Century.

If any republican dares to show any leadership requiring a break from the phony ideology of the past, he’ll be TEABAGGED without mercy.

RED STATES RISING.....

.....or not.

The 2010 Kids Count Survey has just been published ranking various measures of childhood health, poverty, education and family stability. And unsurprisingly, we see the states of the old confederacy bringing up the rear, YET AGAIN. Once, these lower south states were known for King Cotton. Now they are known for “Family Values” (with the notable exception for valuing children once they are born).

As a matter of fact, despite Governor Haley Barbour’s New Mississippi Plan (double meaning), Mississippi remains dead last at 50th place, where it has been every single year. Mind you, that Alabama can make the leap from 48th all the way to 47th place on occasion. One year, Alabama even managed to jump to the mind numbing, lofty, dizzying heights of 43rd place on the list. But Mississippi is DEAD last every single year. Every. Single. Year.

But that is not the least of it. For Mississippi to move up, all they have to is hold the poverty rate steady and wait for some other southern state to fuck up more during the next year. When Alabama moved up to 43rd in 2006, I am guessing that was due less to actual improvements in the lives of children in Alabama, and more to the fact that Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee screwed up worse that year.

That is all Mississippi has to do. We are not asking them to move mountains or live up the “Family Values” rhetoric. How about a 49th place showing one year or even, gulp, 48th place next year?

So much for Barbour’s coming 2012 Presidential Campaign pledge “to remake America in the image of Mississippi,” i.e., a Mississippi Plan for the 21st Century.

What Racism Looks Like at Fox News

At Foxnews, this is “what Racism Looks like” in the 21st Century:

[video - Fox and Friends morning show]

To Foxnews, racism is a doctored video showing an African American woman discussing her journey to move beyond the issue of race after the racially motivated murder of her father in the Jim Crow South. From the undoctored video, however, we learn that our protagonist came to realize that helping poor folks was what was important regardless of race. She was able to move forward.

To me this is pretty much the opposite of Racism. However to Foxnews, this woman and her story “is what Racism looks like” in the 21st Century. Racism becomes nothing more than a cheap opportunity to claim victim status for Poor Foxnews. Cheap theatrics.

Putting the Foxnews Fantasy aside, this is what Racism actually resembled in the Jim Crow South in the 20th century: Murder, Mayhem, and Lynching.

Neo-Nazi Group Plans Immigration Rally - Tea Party Patriots cordially invited

Nazis: I hate those guys. But not everyone does.

Word on the internets has it that a Neo-Nazi group has received approval to hold a rally in Tennessee in support of efforts to enact an Arizona-style Immigration Law in Tennessee. According to one Neo-Nazi this Neo-Nazi National Immigration protest tour starting in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Las Vegas and now moving to "the heart of the South" have drawn:

“tremendous support from mainstream conservatives on this issue,” he said. “There’s no telling what kind of support we’ll draw (in Knoxville).”

I wonder if by “mainstream conservative” support he means recent declarations by all three Republican candidates for Governor in favor of bringing the Arizona Law to Tennessee.

Who knows? We don’t know what we don’t know sometimes. Tennessee isn't the only place targeted by these losers. It could be a coincidence, I suppose.

Anyway, this sounds like a real great way to spend the day with Special Guest Speakers including some losers from the Ku Klux Klan. Heck, the “Tea Party patriots” are even urged to attend [linkNSFW ].

Wow – there really is something for everyone.

But I thought that is what the Free Market Fundamentalists Wanted

Let the Market Decide.

Hardcore Conservative thinker* Reihan Salam is warning of a new threat: It is a return to the Gilded Age.

Specifically, Reihan is referring to the income disparities between skilled and unskilled labor. Back in the Gilded Age, skilled workers like bookkeepers and Craftsman with their own tools did OK and enjoyed a middle class life while unskilled workers fared much less favorably, often times just one workplace accident away from a life of desperation and poverty. Hmm, returning the Gilded Age sure doesn't sound good to me.

What would that mean in the 21st Century, though? I mean everyone can't be coal miners and factory workers again, can they? Nope, they can't, but new jobs may be on the horizon.

What are the new jobs in the new Gilded Age? Reihan supplies the answer wondering: “Will Your Children Grow Up To Be Servants And Nannies?” He notes that the job market today is starting to look eerily similar to the Gilded Age with decreasing opportunities for those trapped at the bottom of the income ladder.

Andrew Sullivan is a mean, Mean, MEAN Person for writing this....

....about Poor, Poor Side Show Sarah
Now she tells us she simply couldn't handle the pressure of being asked, you know, basic questions like what she reads (nothing), what she knew (next to nothing), and why none of her substantive political claims (Bridge To Nowhere My Ass) passed muster. She is telling us that she resigned from the governorship because the mama grizzly.barracuda couldn't handle the heat in the political kitchen. Altogether now: awww. Can you imagine a Thatcher or Meir or Merkel quitting because the press was too mean? Please.
Why is everyone so mean to poor, poor Sarah? Mean Spirited Bloggers. Vicious Reporters, the lamestream MEANstream Media and KATIE FREAKING COURIC. All of 'em meaner than a damn wolf after being shot from a helicopter especially if he's only been grazed.

She really has been the victim. Everything she does - people are MEAN to her.

Question: How many people do you know that had to burn through 5 Colleges to get a 4 year College Degree due to the mean meanness around them?

Answer: Only Poor Sarah - that is who. Why are people so MEAN to her?

Birther's Goon Squad Soon to be Under Investigation?

Remember the report about that Tennessee State Legislator and his Goon Squad involved in Banning Ballot Access in the GOP Primary to those deemed ideologically suspect?

No?

He is a Hardcore Birther and has teamed up with the Queen Birther Orly Taitz to sue the president of the United States for being a secret-keynan sleeper agent?

Yes, that is the guy - Eric Swafford (R-TN).

Well it turns out, coincidentally, that Swafford is facing a primary challenge and may be running scared due to past endeavors with such disreputable associates. Orly Taitz, by the way, apart from seeming batshit crazy is/was a Russian for crying out loud. What is he doing joining up with her and her crazy, dare I say almost communist sounding, theories? Not good news there for Swafford.

How about some even worse news for this fine fellow? Yes? How about this for more bad news - one of the would be voters banned from casting a ballot has reportedly:

visited the District Attorney General's Office on Wednesday to file a formal official misconduct complaint with the prosecutor.

It is not clear who the complaint targets but earlier this week [the victim] blamed three people on her being denied a vote in the Republican Primary.

Uh – oh.

Secret Teabagger Plot to Corrupt the Young REVEALED ! ! !

They plan to CORRUPT THE YOUNG by using a Musical Form known in the youth culture as "Hip and/or Hop!"

They will use Hip and/or Hop at their events, the Youth will enjoy the Hip and/or Hop music and then become TEABAGGERS! And just who is their emissary to implement this scheme? This Guy:

Dispatches from the wingnut-O-sphere – the strange case of RedState Blog

Usually making fun of the Nutters over at RedState Blog runs the risk of shameless Nutpicking, i.e., using a specific loopy post written by an obvious loon to discredit all so-called conservative activists in general. You see the Nut is not your typical nut – he actually a more nutty variety of nut and is thus not typical of mainstream Nutters. When you use the Nut as the basis of your argument you do the opposite of proving your point.

Mockery is OK, but with that said, I generally ignore most posts on RedState due to the extra-nutty variety of nutters known to inhabit that Blog. Erick Erickson, nuttiness aside, he is always acceptable to mock because he is the head honcho of that motley crew. Sure he threatens jihad now and again in the name of vile and depraved teabaggery, is known to threaten census workers with shot guns and calls supreme court justices goat fvcking child molesters on a occasion. But hey you got to mock someone at RedState and he is the most deserving candidate. Besides mockery is OK.

Anyway, I was reading RedState Blog the other day to get reactions on the latest Andrew Breitbart/Foxnews stunt which again used a Doctored Video to vilify a political opponent and a strange thing happened. Most of the wingnutty commentary fell along the lines of [paraphrasing]:

Breitbart is an awesome guy but accidents happen and this one where Breitbart pimped a doctored video should not have happened. It is understandable that mistakes happen. Breitbart is on the side of the Angels , but this time he kinda sorta made a mistake - though mistakes are known to happen, like right now, which was a mistake, unfortunately. Oops. By the way liberals do this more and are worse. WAY WORSE.
Fair enough - what else can you expect? Then I came across this one from Comrade Moe Lane.

Alberto Gonzales VINDICATED ! ! ! ! !

The internets are reporting that Federal Prosecutors have finished a two-year investigation into the Bush administration's firing of U.S. attorneys. They will file no charges in the investigation of whether the Bush administration improperly dismissed nine U.S. attorneys to influence criminal cases. This scandal at the incompetently run Justice Department contributed to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Apparently Alberto’s Justice Department’s conduct was “inappropriately political, but not criminal.” There is not enough evidence to prove that Alberto is a crook. He is just an incompetent, torture apologist, third rate hack and Bush crony. That is all.

Now that he has been totally and completely vindicated, I ask you this. Where does Alberto go to get his reputation back? WHERE? Anywhere?

The last I heard, the Bush Presidential Museum was still years from its grand opening. What is Alberto going to do until that cushy job in the Presidential Library gift shop opens up? Is there no JUSTICE for Alberto?

Birther’s Goons Obstructing Voting In Tennessee Primaries

Is Tennessee State Representative Eric Swafford (R) sending Goons to bar people from voting during the early voting period?

Folks are wondering after a report that a Tennessee voter has been barred from voting in the GOP primary after being confronted by at least one Swafford Goon.

The voter was turned away from the polls even after she took a loyalty Oath to the GOP. The problem according to the Goon was that the voter had been insufficiently loyal to the GOP in the past having voted occasionally in the Democrat Party primary. Perhaps she should have taken a loyalty oath directly to Swafford instead of the just the GOP. Maybe that would have earned her a ballot.

When asked to comment on the Poll Watching, Swafford said:

"I don't really understand what the big controversy or big story is. We, just like everybody else, think elections are sacred. We want open, honest, and fair elections for everybody."

Yeah Right. Swafford may say that he thinks “elections are sacred” (especially when people who may vote for his opponent are kept away from the polls like in this instance). But this respect for the sacredness of elections has not always been on display from the good Legislator from Tennessee.

You see Swafford is a HARDCORE Birther. If you don’t remember, Swafford filed a lawsuit against President Barack Obama asking a Federal Court to declare that the current President of the United States is illegitimate and fails to meet the constitutional requirements to hold office.

According to Court Documents, Swafford alleged (SUBSCRIPTION):

Stay the Course

Stay the Course
He's Probably got the hang of it by now. So give'em another chance. And with the Supreme Court and the good Lord on his side, why not give it a try. Write in Bush.
