Big Dawg: 'Any Repub Nominee Can't Be Authentic Unless You've Got A Single Digit I.Q.'

[kpete]

Earlier this month, I asked Bill Clinton — who has a better intuitive feel for politics than anyone I know — about Obama’s chances for re-election. “I’ll be surprised if he’s not re-elected,” Clinton said, adding that Obama would do better when matched against a specific opponent like Romney.

Clinton said that Romney did “a very good job” as governor of Massachusetts and would be a credible general election candidate. But Clinton added that Romney or any Republican nominee would be hampered by “a political environment in the Republican primary that basically means you can’t be authentic unless you’ve got a single-digit I.Q.”

1. LOL!

Few people can get away with saying such a thing, and he is one of them.

3. He certainly found a better way to call people "mentally deficient" than Rahm did. n/t

2. Is he talking about the candidate having a Single Digit I.Q. or anyone who would vote for them?

4. That's not fair - it takes at least two digits

you need the leading zero and the decimal

5. Republicans rely heavily on uneducated teabagger types. I have

both family raised type Republicans and teabagger half-wits on facebook. The ones that got it from their parents are perfectly intelligent but won't change. Kind of like I am with Democrats. They aren't what we would like them to be but we prefer them to the opposition.

The teabagger types are half-wit racists that respond to every right-wing dog whistle. Were they living in the 70's, most probably wouldn't be politically active. Without the constant bombardment of right-wing media, some might vote but would likely be controlled by a politically active loved one or friend. They wouldn't make the effort to seek information or misinformation on their own.

They like stupid for sure! It makes them feel they can trust a "plain spoken man". They get suckered in by the down home accent every time.

6. Just shut the fuck up, Bill! Your rhetoric does far more damage than good!

Awaiting the faux Fox Noise outrage in 5...4...3...2...1 :puke:
