Culture Mush

At this point of the election, I didn’t believe there was a single thing that could shock me anymore. We’ve had people criticizing Obama for his Pastor, his name with Muslim ties (when did being a Muslim all of a sudden mean that you are evil), comments that his wife has made, and just about everything else. We’ve seen fanatic candidate supporters from both sides that haven’t a clue about the candidate they support, and a vice presidential candidate that doesn’t even know what the job of vice president entails…For the record Sarah (may I call you Sarah?), Article I of the Constitution establishes an exceptionally limited role for the Vice President — giving the office holder a vote only when the Senate is “equally divided”: The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.). Can this race to the Whitehouse get any goofier?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes. On Saturday while warming up a crowd in North Carolina, Republican Rep. Robin Hayes offered the some shocking statements. According to Hayes, “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.”

Of course the Republican spin doctor Amanda Little said that Hayes 100% denies making the comments that appear in the Observer article. She noted that other national reporters that were at the event and didn’t hear anything even remotely similar to what the Observer reported. However, audio has been released from the Robin Hayes speech and he has finally owned up to his comments…but of course, he says he didn’t really mean it.

If you are liberal, have a listen to this and start making all the country bumpkin and redneck jokes that you want. If you are a republican, bow your head in shame and pray tonight for some representatives that can actually do you proud.
