ESQUIRE smacks TX-1 Democrats for not running candidate against Louie Gohmert

Moving even farther south and even deeper into the dementosphere, we find Louie Gohmert...the representative from the First District in Texas, and believe us when we tell you, Gohmert makes Steve King look like Cicero and Michele Bachmann like Margaret Thatcher. A characteristic Gohmert speech on the House floor during a debate on the military's Don't Ask — Don't Tell policy had Gohmert raving about bestiality, necrophilia, and voting for a black man. Most often, it seems as though he is unaware of his surroundings, as if maybe Louie doesn't realize that he is in the Congress. As yet, none of his fellow representatives have seen fit to throw a net over him, so Gohmert now has moved on famously to warn us about "terror babies" — infants born here to Al Qaeda operatives who will use their automatic citizenship to attack us down the line.

And the craziest thing of all? Louie Gohmert is running unopposed.

1. and to think he was a fuking judge at one time...

what a gomer.....:rofl::hi:

[Democat]

7. Judges like him sometimes end up on the Supreme Court.

Especially when democrats are cowards.

2. OMG, anchor terra-ists!!!!!

Then they'll all go to law school and get elected to various government positions and, next thing you know, we'll all be living under Sharia law.

It COULD happen.:sarcasm:

3. Voters in that district are hardcore, rightwing caveman knuckle-draggers.

They voted for McCain and Bush the past two elections by identical 69-30 margins.

The reason the Democrats aren't running someone there is that no smart Democrat would want to waste his/her time and money in a completely lost cause.

Gohmert is a fitting representative of that district.

5. Didn't Charlie Wilson represent part of that district once?

Gohmert holds onto that seat partially because of the 2003 redistricting scandal in our state. If Democrats retake Austin in November, we can start undoing the damage by controlling the new redistricting process. The Texas GOP knows this and is scared shitless.

11. Absolutely correct on both counts

4. A total embarrassment to this state

6. sorry boys and girls, the 50 state strategy went out the window in January of 2009 nt

8. East Texas is East Shitholia. Ignorant and proud of it.

Goomer the Tumor is in Tyler.

I'm a few counties south of him and my Congress-Cretin is Joe Barton who is just about as bad.

I think it's suicidal for the Democrats to run anybody against these knuckle draggers.

Charlie Wilson was based in Lufkin and then they had redistricting, so the lines are different.

9. Well, guess what?

Redistricting happens again next year. If Dems are in control of the process, Gohmert will need to dust off his resume. :bounce:

And I never consider it hopeless to run against a Repuke. If we all felt that way, Bill White wouldn't be making Rick Perry wet himself in fear. The Governor has yet to debate White even once on the campaign trail. He's sweating.

10. Same with Mike Pence in Indiana

Only difference is he keeps his crazy in a little better check. Just a little.
