"SNIP.......

“National Republicans — on the heels of the Roy Moore and Rick Saccone debacles — worry they’re staring down their latest potential midterm election fiasco: coal baron and recent federal prisoner Don Blankenship,” Politico reports.

“With Blankenship skyrocketing in the West Virginia Republican Senate primary and blanketing the airwaves with ads assailing his fractured field of rivals as career politicians, senior party officials are wrestling with how, or even whether, to intervene. Many of them are convinced that Blankenship, who served a one-year sentence after the deadly 2010 explosion at his Upper Big Branch Mine, would be a surefire loser against Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin — and potentially become a national stain for the party.”

1. Hope so!

2. "A national stain for the party."

The GOPee's clothing has so many "national stains" they're paisley.

5. The GOP itself is a national shitstain.

7. I don't know Latin

Bit isn't GOPee Latin for "shitstain"?

[madinmaryland]

10. I don't know, but I did look up "shitstain" in the dictionary, and there

was a picture of the GOPee Elephant.

3. Republicans are all criminals and con-men

Why get morals now? They supported a pedophile, why does a felon give them heartburn? That he cannot actually vote for himself on Election Day got them nervous?

4. Maybe if its candidate roster wasn't so odious

The GOP could field some actual candidates instead of these retreads, reprobates, and recidivists. But as long as their political platform caters to the likes of Moore, Saccone, and Blankenship, they'll have to keep running these dumbass motherfuckers. It's up to you, O party of personal responsibility.

6. I call them Racists, Rogues, and Billionaires.

8. Should have done a year in one of his mines

instead of Club Fed.

We need his mugshot and inmate number!

9. One has to wonder

What kind of people are voting in these Republican primaries that they prefer candidates like Roy Moore and Don Blankenship over sane, credible candidates who could represent the interests of the people of their state in the Senate instead of the interests of five rich guys in Kansas, Las Vegas and Texas.

I'll bet not only the Shadow knows--so do we: the human bots of Fox Noise. If Sean Insanity were to declare that God had told him that two plus two makes five, hordes of Bible-waving Republicans would be screaming at the entrance to the HQ of Texas Instruments demanding that they correct their erroneous calculators.

11. It is not possible for anyone or thing to become a stain on the party.

The party is itself a national stain.
