One last indignity: The tea party swipes John Boehner’s seat
WAPO ^ | March 16, 2016 | Amber Phillips

It was one of the tea party’s few highlights in Tuesday’s congressional primaries. But laying claim to former GOP House speaker John Boehner’s old seat (in all likelihood) is a big one, both for the bragging rights and the momentum it gives House conservatives in their ongoing fight to purify their party ideologically.

Warren Davidson, a businessman and former Army Ranger, won a 15-way Republican primary Tuesday in the special election for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District. The tea party candidate rather easily bested more moderate candidates, including two state lawmakers, in a campaign that quickly became ground zero for the party’s ongoing identity struggle in the House that Boehner used to run.

...if we hadn’t just lived through eight years of Radical, belligerent behavior. It breeds what it breeds.

Amen

“Milquetoast” is the word that best describes elected Ohio GOP. Let’s hope the new guy is the real deal.

But he's short. :)

Short people got no reason Short people got no reason Short people got no reason To live

They got little hands And little eyes And they walk around Tellin' great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people Don't want no short people Don't want no short people Round here

Short people are just the same As you and I (A fool such as I) All men are brothers Until the day they die (It's a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody Short people got nobody Short people got nobody To love

They got little baby legs And they stand so low You got to pick 'em up Just to say hello

They got little cars That got beep, beep, beep They got little voices Goin' peep, peep, peep They got grubby little fingers And dirty little minds They're gonna get you every time

Well, I don't want no short people Don't want no short people Don't want no short people 'Round here Songwriters: RANDY NEWMAN © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., Universal Music Publishing Group For non-commercial use only.

First woman I’ve ever seen that looks like a jack-o’lantern . . . and evil jack-o’lantern.

You haven’t . . . yet. The jury is still out as to whether any of us will survive this Manchurian candidate.

It only sends a message if he gets to DC and doesn’t sell out before he even unpacks. Too many of those candidates that WE financed through the Senate Conservative Fund have been disgusting traitors.
