Admiring Scumbags, Interesting Times In Olympia

Allow me to start with a disclaimer:

horsesass.org is a blog filled with the very worst of left wing idiocy. A forum that does little but pound the drum for economic tyranny. A quick visit will show you just how bad things are over there if you are interested.

Geoff Simpson is a horrible State Representative and a horrible person. A quick search of Google or Wikipedia will show you just what a bad guy he truly is if you are interested. It is amazing to me that uninformed voters continue to send him back to our Capitol.

Lastly, I must point out that Representative Simpson did not write his own letter. He took something that is posted in many places on the internet and made it his own.

All that aside though, I guess that the old cliché is true. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

As the legislature continues consideration of expanding domestic partnership rights legislators are being flooded with emails from fundamentalist religious people, quoting the bible, assuring them that all these preeverts are going straight to hell.

Most legislators respond with some bland nonsense thanking them for their input and promising to consider it of course.

Not Geoff Simpson. He gave it right back, and started punching them in the eye. Good for him. It’ll probably cost him his next election, but a career that has been marked with little good will at last have a shining spark.

Rep. Geoff Simpson, man of god

I admire your tenacity and courage in calling a deserving scumbag a scumbag. Somehow, I can't seem to get away with it. Then again, my scumbags are at a higher level of our (ouch!) government.

Without giving away the name of my home state, I will skip the name of a certain person who has been holding down a chair in the US House of Representatives. This person has a perfect history of voting for what I consider the wrong thing. I have been watching his record for decades. I can't understand how his home district keeps sending him back to earn a living as one of our scumbags, but he hangs in there. I guess some voters are just not informed, or don't care.

Susan's pet,

Ah, I don't think that I was particularly courageous in calling Rep. Simpson a scumbag.

I believe that his arrest record shows that the only women who need courage to stand up to him are the women who have the misfortune of being in love with him.

It is often surprising just how gullible we as voters can be. Ol' Rep. Simpson himself was arrested for beating on his wife. His Caucus stripped him of his committee positions due to it, but heck, the voters didn't seem to care, sent him right back in office.

Shameful.

Any chance that some voters are just stupid?

Susan's pet,

Indeed. It seems that American's hate Congress, but love their Congressman. How we don't see that the two things are related is beyond me!
