*You Don't Have to be Crazy to be a Democrat, But it Helps* by Ann Coulter <http://www.humanevents.com/search.php?author_name=Ann+Coulter> Posted 10/27/2010 ET Updated 10/28/2010 ET
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=39614 With the media sneering about the Tea Party candidates being a bunch of nuts, how about we take a look at some of the Democrats running this year? We've got Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, who personally presided over the housing crash after getting that gay prostitution business behind him. Of course, Frank's actions are nothing compared to Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul's alleged participation in a college prank. Now, THERE'S a scandal! California Sen. Barbara Boxer refuses to say whether a newborn baby is a human life. When Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn., asked her on the Senate floor a few years ago whether she believed a baby born alive has a constitutionally protected a right to live, Boxer was stuck for an answer. Her nonresponsive replies included these: "I support the Roe v. Wade decision. ... "I think when you bring your baby home, when your baby is born -- and the baby belongs to your family and has all the rights. ... "Define 'separation' ... "You mean the baby has been birthed and is now in its mother's arms? ... "The baby is born when the baby is born. That is the answer to the question. ... "I am not answering these questions! I am not answering these questions!" (Also, I think she said: "Please call me 'senator.'") That's not Patty Murray-stupid, but it's still pretty stupid. How many late-term abortions are you planning to get, Californians, that it's worth being represented by such a cretinous woman? Even if you are under the misimpression that Boxer's Republican opponent, Carly Fiorina, is somehow going to outlaw abortion in California, Carly will cut your taxes so much that you'd be able to fly to Sweden for all your abortions and still come out ahead! Liberals are indignant that Sarah Palin writes speech notes to herself on her hand. This week, Alex Sink, the Democratic candidate for governor in Florida, was slipped a debating point by her makeup artist, texted by a campaign aide in violation of the rules during a debate with her Republican opponent, Rick Scott. Oh, those thick Tea Party candidates! Last weekend, Illinois governor Pat Quinn -- Rod Blagojevich's running mate -- stood silently as his supporter, state Sen. Rickey Hendon, blasted Quinn's Republican opponent, Bill Brady, as "idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic." Hendon has repeatedly made headlines over the past few years for his inappropriate behavior toward female colleagues. Once -- during a Senate debate -- he asked Sen. Cheryl Axley if her hair was naturally blond and then publicly propositioned her. Another time, Hendon tackled Rep. Robin L. Kelly, knocking her to the ground after a House-Senate softball game she had come to watch in office attire. Of the impeccable Brady, Hendon wailed: "If you think that women have no rights whatsoever, except to have his children, vote for Bill Brady. If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head, vote for Bill Brady." Even the Chicago press was shocked by this, calling on Quinn to apologize. Quinn has "renounced" Hendon's remarks, but refused to apologize. But watch out for the Tea Party candidates! There are some real loose cannons in that bunch. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
