Just another example of the Lamestream media making conservatives look stupid by using their own words.

"Nuanced nature of trying to control atmosphere" is my favorite line from that story.Just another example of the Lamestream media making conservatives look stupid by using their own words.
Of course the opposite is true.AOC is right up there. She hasn't accomplished one single thing for her constituents. Nada, ZERO, bill passed since she took office.

I love hard the newscaster is suppressing laughter.
Fast Eddie Markey saysUsually stupid people are in the House of Representatives, not the Senate.
Seriously, you may not agree with AOC, but she works her ### off.
Way back in the 90s at Gator Growl (a big UF homecoming party that filled the football stadium), there was a skit where Herschel Walker came back to UGA to get his diploma as fake UGA students stood around to cheer him on. UGA's president said "Herschel, to get your diploma, all you have to do is answer one question: what is 2 plus 2?" Herschel took a moment, and replied, "Um, four." All the UGA students then started chanting "give him another chance! give him another chance!"No real concerns with him not graduating
Why not? This has been the conservative go to for voting since 2016.
Tim is a specific guy on the internet. Very specific.Tim isn't always right and he isn't always wrong. The fact you would spite vote for someone because of a random guy you disagree with on the internet is very sad IMO.

My question for all of you that don't like him, would you feel the same way if he had a "D" after his name?
I am guessing if he was running for Team Blue, the narrative would be extremely different.
If by "narrative" you mean direct quotes, and moment by moment coverage of Walker railing against absentee dads while having multiple children he's ignored, I don't think it would change.My question for all of you that don't like him, would you feel the same way if he had a "D" after his name?

No way this guy gets a Democratic nod. It just wouldn’t happen.My question for all of you that don't like him, would you feel the same way if he had a "D" after his name?

Um, fake Herschel got the answer correct. Fake white UGA students got it wrong. Not seeing your point.quick-hands said:If math is racist this post is racist.

Here is a video posted yesterday of him speaking to a group of people in what looks like a gymnasium. In it he claims he’s an FBI agent (yes he actually says that), and tells a story of a time he took his gun to shoot somebody but didn’t because the guy had a honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker.

Agreed. I said a few days ago here in this thread CTE is almost assuredly a factor.Dude is crazy. I don't mean this as a joke, I genuinely think he's taken too many shots to the head over the years and isn't all there.

I don't know exactly what "worst" means, but I will say that in my life I have seen plenty of candidates who were dumb, plenty who were awful, and a few who I think were genuinely evil (one of those is currently running in Missouri). But Walker is the first I've ever seen who makes me feel sad. I suppose I shouldn't feel that way, since he's an adult who presumably knew what he was getting into, but he just has no business running for a major statewide office and anyone who played a role in convincing him to do so should be ashamed of themselves.
And the worst part is, he didn't need to do any of this. He could have stayed out of politics and remained a hero in Georgia and well regarded everywhere else. Instead, he's humiliating himself. I don't know if he took too many shots to the head, or if he was never that smart to begin with, but every time he opens his mouth I cringe.
I was trying to think of a liberal former pro athlete who came across as unintelligent as Walker does, but I realized that most former athletes who have gotten themselves elected -- on both sides of the aisle -- have been pretty smart: Bill Bradley, Tom McMillan, Steve Largent, Anthony Gonzalez. So then I tried to think of non-politicians who might come across the same way if they did run. Deion? Michael Irvin? Shannon Sharpe? I gotta say, I just couldn't see myself pulling the lever for someone I thought was a complete idiot no matter what party they belonged to100% would never vote for this guy. Honestly, if you had told me many years ago that he would be running in 2022 for Senator then I would have thought there was a chance he would be running as a Democrat.

Then what's the excuse for every other cosplaying wingnut out there?Dude is crazy. I don't mean this as a joke, I genuinely think he's taken too many shots to the head over the years and isn't all there.

Actually I don’t. A few people have brought up Roy Moore and I think He should be considered.Serious question - what's the point of your "question". You clearly have your mind made up. Are you just looking for high fives?
And I'm sorry. I don't mean that to be rude towards Tim. He just provided the soft ball.
With Randall from the FFA passing along with wikkid not long ago, I find myself with less patience in the forum. I know they were exceptional and not every post can be like them. But man.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong or objectionable with any of my posts in this thread and I take VERY strong offense that you would bring up the two people you did as some sort of contrast. Yes they were exceptional. But I don’t believe anything I’ve posted here to be in poor taste.And I'm sorry. I don't mean that to be rude towards Tim. He just provided the soft ball.

And what’s this “high five” nonsense? Do you believe I am celebrating this??? i am depressed that a guy this stupid has a chance to be in one of the most important political offices we have. How did we get to this point? It’s really sad.

Apparently the management doesn’t believe this is something we should be discussing.Moore I would definitely say is worse due to what he did. I may be on an island here but I consider almost qualification #1 of a candidate to be a decent person. I don't care if you and I align on every policy out there - if you are a horrible person then I'm not voting for you. Moore falls in that category for me - but Walker definitely does not.
Is that the bar?seems in poor taste.
knock yourself out.Is that the bar?
If so, I have some AOC/Omar/Biden/Pelosi posts I'd like to review.
OK, but by that standard isn't Greitens way worse? I'm certainly not defending Moore in any way, but based on the accounts of those women he came across as super weird and creepy, but in a pathetic way. Like he was a guy in his 20s/30s who was such a loser he was trying to date teenage girls because that was all he could get.Moore I would definitely say is worse due to what he did.

That dude is straight-up evil. He was having an affair. He tied up his mistress, then took a picture of her and used it to blackmail her. And he was doing all of this stuff right as he was launching his gubernatorial campaign, which means he expected to get away with it. And oh by the way, his ex-wife also accused him of abuse. Hard to top that.
Other than just feeling sorry for the guy, absolutely not.Is there some nuanced and balanced take on Walker that some of us are missing?
His son will cure you of that.Other than just feeling sorry for the guy, absolutely not.
JMO, but it feels like you're deliberately using an inflammatory word to rile up conservatives. I feel like you could have essentially made the same point with softer language (uneducated, ignorant, etc.)It’s not.seems in poor taste.
Herschel Walker is a stupid man who is running for US Senate. Why shouldn’t we discuss this? Are we to pretend that he isn’t stupid so that we don’t offend anyone or hurt somebody’s feelings?
The only D equivalent I can think of is Maxine Waters, where even her own constituents know that she is crazy but they vote for her anyway because GO TEAM BLUE. But Maxine is in a gerrymandered HOUSE district. No way her schtick would get much play in a statewide race.My question for all of you that don't like him, would you feel the same way if he had a "D" after his name?
I am guessing if he was running for Team Blue, the narrative would be extremely different.
If he was running for Team Blue he wouldn't get the nomination. That's the thing.
There are Dem senators who are equally unfit, though. I have zero problem saying that Dianne Feinstein is no longer up for the job and should retire immediately.
Which one?His son will cure you of that.Other than just feeling sorry for the guy, absolutely not.
Walker's son could very well really hurt his dad's campaign.
I have no problem using other words to describe Walker’s lack of intelligence. I just don’t think it should be swept under the rug for fear of offending anyone.JMO, but it feels like you're deliberately using an inflammatory word to rile up conservatives. I feel like you could have essentially made the same point with softer language (uneducated, ignorant, etc.)
Also, again this is JMO but we shouldn't discount the possibility that Herschel is suffering from CTE, and if so it would definitely be in poor taste to call the man stupid.
(But if he is suffering from CTE, he absolutely should not be elected to any political office.)
Why so many times? Did Biden keep forgetting he'd been there?It turns out that AOC introduced 30 separate bills welcoming President Joe Biden to the Bronx. Thirty! That is a legislative accomplishment that cannot be denied!
