Joe Kennedy 3's namesake has come back to life?

[PaceAdvantage]

Good thing this inflammatory headline doesn't actually tell the story of what happened...people actually have to read the real story...if they don't, they might come across with the impression that the Republican party has put up a Nazi as a candidate and has endorsed him and backed him with $$$...when actually the opposite has occurred.

But that's what liberals count on all the time...when it comes to EVERYTHING...like the health care bill for instance...good ol' Nancy...vote for it so we can read it... LULZ

The question really is why Jones felt the appropriate party for him to hitch his wagon to was the Republican Party.

[PaceAdvantage]

The question really is why Jones felt the appropriate party for him to hitch his wagon to was the Republican Party.Because they were the one of the two major parties who weren't running a candidate against the opposition? You think that might be it?

Or maybe it's that the Republicans are actually the Nazi party, and every Republican (myself included), is just sitting here biding our time, firing up the ovens and decorating the camps, waiting for the time to come when we can round ya'll up and get this party really started.

And here I thought I was being light.

The Illinois Republican Party has sought to distance itself from Mr. Jones in recent weeks, blanketing the district with campaign fliers and robocalls urging voters to “stop Illinois Nazis,” according to a robocall script provided by the party. Mr. Jones said he had received three robocalls himself.

“Arthur Jones is not a real Republican — he is a Nazi whose disgusting, bigoted views have no place in our nation’s discourse,” Tim Schneider, the Illinois Republican Party chairman, said in a statement. He said the party had urged voters “to skip over his name when they go to the polls” and moving forward planned on “vehemently opposing Jones with real campaign dollars.”

A fraud trying to pawn off a piece by a lying paper.
Doubt he had the ability to read this far in to the article.

You see, horsey, unlike the Democrats, the Republican primaries are not rigged, so this guy could get through it without the party's OK.

Unlike YOUR party, where they actually knowingly put HILLARY on the ticket - the worst loser in modern day history.

Well...if you're going to ask that, permit me to inquire: Why has the Communist Party of the United States of America hitched its wagon to the Democrat Party all these decades? :coffee:

It's a put up job. Jones is very likely backed by the Dems. He's simply a pawn they're using to to try to give a black eye to the Republican Party.

And go light on poor Hillary will ya? She did win the popular vote after Kalfifornia was counted, which includes all the illegals' ballots, of course.

This thread was started by somebody who had no problem with an ex KKK EXALTED CYCLOPS sitting in Congress most of his life as a DEMOCRAT until he finally croaked, what was it, 8 years ago now?

No problem whatsoever...never once started a thread on it...

But some obscure ****ing ****job who somehow got on a ticket where nobody else was running is the big lead story here in off-topic, just because the empty ticket was the (R) ticket.

If it was the GREEN TICKET or the COMMUNIST TICKET, nary a word would have been written here about this obscure ****ing ****job who has absolutely zero chance of winning anything.

This is Jones eighth attempt to run for Congress starting in 1984, all as a Republican, all the previous times he lost in the primary.So it wasn't him seeing an opportunity to fill an empty void., this has been an ambition of his for a long time.And this "nutjob" out foxed the Republican party, as previously they kept trying to go all Bernie Sanders on him and find technical reasons to bounce him off the ballot, this time, he brought his collected signatures to get on the ballot an hour before the deadline, THEN he started his campaign.He also got over 20,000 votes in this primary which means that this district either has a lot of people who agree with him or they just vote the party ticket without finding out about the candidate.I'll be magnanimous and say it's the latter because that's the way I is. ;)

Quick question:Why criticise H4C for not starting a thread on Robert Byrd, since you keep bringing his name up on a regular basis? Seems redundant.:D

Quick question:Why criticise H4C for not starting a thread on Robert Byrd, since you keep bringing his name up on a regular basis? Seems redundant.:DBecause I hope it pisses a lot of Democrats off to see the hypocrisy in action.

[mostpost]

Because I hope it pisses a lot of Democrats off to see the hypocrisy in action.
You are obsessed with Robert Byrd. He left the Klan in the early fifties yet here you are yammering on about it 68 years later.

Here is the statement put out by the NAACP on the occasion of Byrd's death.
The NAACP is saddened by the passing of United States Senator Robert Byrd. Byrd, the longest serving member of congress was first elected to the U.S. House from [West Virginia] in 1952 and was elected Senator in 1958. Byrd passed away this morning at the age of 92.
“Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation,” stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. “Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.
“Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation,” stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy. “Senator Byrd was a master of the Senate Rules, and helped strategize passage of legislation that helped millions of Americans. He will be sorely missed.”

People change. They are capable of recognizing when they are wrong and when they need to change their actions and beliefs. Byrd did this. Conservatives on this forum are clearly incapable.

[PaceAdvantage]

The dope voted AGAINST the Civil Rights act...you Dems can spin ANYTHING...

Byrd was a ****ing racist KLANSMAN...and you supported him...Hillary supported him (he was her MENTOR), and even Obama supported him, unbelievably enough. They all had such nice things to say about him when he finally croaked.

Who cares what the NAACP has to say about him. They're another tool of the DEMS who can't be trusted.

The point is, you clowns get all happy clappy when some obscure ****ing Nazi wannabe gets on some stupid congressional primary ballot, basically on a technicality, and a clown spins this as the GOP has somehow endorsed him as one of their own, when nothing could be further from the truth. He might as well be running for dogcatcher it's that obscure.

But a former EXALTED CYCLOPS in the KKK sits in the Senate half his life as a Democrat and none of you clowns says a word about it.

[FantasticDan]

But a former EXALTED CYCLOPS in the KKK sits in the Senate half his life as a Democrat and none of you clowns says a word about it.Mosty just said a few words about it, didn't he? Words that show your never-ending Byrd obsession is a joke?

You'd actually have a point if Byrd continued to be an active member of the KKK while sitting in Congress. He wasn't. He renounced them. He did work contrary to their cause and beliefs for decades, as the NAACP statement says.

That's why everyone ignores your Byrd blather. It makes no sense.

[mostpost]

Judging from the political history of Illinois, a lot of idiots.
Are you referring to former republican governor George Ryan who served time in prison for corruption?
Maybe you are talking about Republican Congressman and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who went to jail for financial fraud related to sexual abuse of minors.

Or, is it Republican representative Daniel Crane who was censured by the House for an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17 year old male page.

Aaron Schock, a republican Congressman from downstate Illinois had to resign his seat after excessive spending and a lavish lifestyle funded by public money was revealed.

There are more.

[JustRalph]

Compare Storm Thurmond’s treatment.

Btw, he was a Dem when he opposed integration........

[Tom]

There are more.

Yes, there are.

And of course, the current idiot who puts Chicago citizens BEHIND illegal immigrant and allows them to be killed on the streets at record numbers.

Those idiots.

I assume you are among them.
Nice job.

[elysiantraveller]

I honestly think bringing this stuff up is largely ridiculous. Byrd or Thurmond.

Parties aren't static... look at the face of the GOP right now.

A guy who has been a registered democrat most of his life and whose family couldn't vote for him in their home state primary bbecause they were too...

Which is why I always wondered if the North really won the Civil War.

[Tom]

A guy who has been a registered democrat most of his life

We gave him credit for healing himself.
Like Reagan.

[davew]

The guy doesn't need anyone to vote for him if he has enough money. Near Chicago, just pay a community organizer to get the votes for you.

[Tom]

We have the worst government money can buy.
Only in America can so many whores make so much money.

No mention of the axis of corruption between Mike Madigan and Joe Berrios (thank God he lost)? No mention of Blog's prison term? No mention of Dorothy Brown (donate and get a promotion)? No mention of the imprisoned former head of CPS? Oddly, you only see corruption on one side? Pick up the Chicago Sun Times - almost every day there's a corruption/pay-for-play case involving an IL Dem. I'm not defending any of the Reps you've mentioned, but come on.

Illinois voters are bi-partisinally stupid!
