Another Teabagger who can't go out and find a real job......

[marmar]

from the Detroit Free Press:



(Michigan) State Rep. Cindy Gamrat, R-Plainwell, was expelled from office last week, and today she filed with the Allegan County Clerk that she intends to run in the special election to fill that seat.

"She filed just after 2 p.m.," said Allegan County Clerk Joyce Watts.

Gamrat, who was caught up in a sex and cover-up scandal along with state Rep. Todd Courser, R-Lapeer, was expelled from her seat shortly after 4 a.m. Friday. Courser resigned at 3:12 a.m. Friday.

"What weighed really heavy on me this whole time, was I felt it was really important for my voters to have a voice in this. I continue to have to fight for them," she said in an interview with the Free Press.

"I still continue to get a lot of supportive, encouraging messages. Since this happened, everyone recognizes me now," Gamrat added. "People keep telling me they feel terrible about what has happened to me and my family. They want to see me fight on." .....................(more)

1. It's kinda late, and I'm...

...really tired, so maybe my comprehension is off. Am I really reading that this woman is going to run for the seat from which she was dismissed? Talk about shameless brass balls.

9. It worked for Judge Roy Moore here in Alabama.

2. "People keep telling me they feel terrible about what has happened to me and my family"

So she had an affair and people are feeling terrible for HER and her family??

[Snobblevitch]

3. She seems to be allowing the voters to decide.

It might be an intersting race.

4. What you did

What has happened to you and your family is that shame has been heaped upon you and yours as a consequence of what YOU DID. This isn't the result of some accident or misfortune but the price you pay for being a hypocrite. What a colossal, self-absorbed jerk. So a super Christian wife and mommy decided to covet and then commit adultery with a super Christian husband and daddy, all the while railing against gays because of the sanctity of marriage, - a behavior that is clearly pathetic, selfish, and common trait of too many super Christian republican dipshits. Thou shalt not lie, covet, commit adultery, disrespect your parents? And yet, people will still vote for her.

5. Hello Folks Brian here

Truly I understand her dilemma,I was completely devastated when certain truths about my untruthfulness was given over to public domain. Folks I was in total denial , I thought the network handlers would simply make it all go away and I would just keep on doing what I have always done.

Now folks, I have a really really great segment planned out for my new position ,a day time anchor and I call it Brian's Corner. And I think Cindy Gamrat will be my first guest ! I'll be kind of like a Dr. Phil you know ,where it is I walk these poor outed souls through their troubled times, get them to face the reality of their circumstances. Talk them through it and have them tell all live on my show.

And of course the ratings will sky rocket !

6. I had to google maps this

Still early - bear with me -from the article I linked below . . .

Lansing mafia" he said was conspiring against him.

Uh no -you did it to yourself and the other person involved in this Hypocrite's Affair is just 30 minutes or so from the 'Dutch Mafia territory' of Holland MI.

For folks not in the know (marmar I'm sure you are or you wouldn't have posted this -

When you think Holland MI - think Dutch Mafia. When you think Dutch Mafia - thinks Elsa (Prop Hate 8) Prince Broekhuizen.

When you think Elsa - think Betsy Devos - her daughter who is a Republican Tool.

When you think Betsy - think Erik Prince formerly of Blackwater - now with Frontier Services based out of Hong Kong and UAE - anti Government - yet keeps his home in VA just so he can come back and vote.

These are NOT nice people - and this is what happens when folks faith drives them into office.

Courser, 43, a married father of four, and Gamrat, 42, a married mother of three, were both in their first terms. They were outspoken about their Christian faith and morals and had set out to shake up Michigan's Capitol. But they clashed with the GOP leadership and were booted from or voluntarily left the majority caucus.

Despite their districts being far across the state from each other, the two combined operations and shared three staffers — an unusual arrangement.

Though a relationship between them was rumored around the Capitol, the scandal exploded last month, when a staffer who was fired seven weeks after refusing to send the email gave The Detroit News a secret audio recording of Courser saying his goal was to "inoculate the herd" — an apparent reference to Courser's supporters.

Gamrat apologized and held a tearful news conference. An apologetic Courser initially was more defiant, posting scripture-laden confessionals of many thousands of words on his Facebook page and issuing an audio statement decrying a "Lansing mafia" he said was conspiring against him. As it became clear he could be expelled, he grew more contrite.

Both of these State Reps ought to be ashamed of themselves, go home, pray, do whatever . . . but keep your asses out of office.

7. Oh, admit it! Gay marriage made them do it.

It's part of the agenda, an evil plan to corrupt good Christians and make them cheat on their beloved spouses and betray the Lord. As a side-benefit, these poor people are then thrown out of office so the damned libruls can take over and make everybody marry a gay man. Or a goat.

Then we'll all have that socialist universal health care that will cause our taxes to sky rocket. Why, even rich people will be taxed into poverty. The government will steal all our property and give it to the Muslims, and then Isis will convert us all. Or chop off our heads.

The welfare queens will all be driving new Cadillacs and wearing diamonds and Jimmy Choos.

It's true. No use denying it.

8. " Since this happened, everyone recognizes me now"
