Republican Candidates Quiet On Oregon Standoff
The very candidates who want the government to release more of the land it owns are staying quiet about the Bundy/militia standoff in Oregon.
Some of the issues involved in the standoff — constitutional rights, allegations of federal government overreach and individual liberties — have come to the fore in the GOP primary race. And as Western states are poised to play a larger role in the contest, so has the issue of property rights in a region where the federal government controls about half of the land.
But few candidates seemed willing to wade into any of these issues Sunday as the leaders of the group said they are standing up against government overreach and are prepared to remain there for “as long as it takes.” The group said it is protesting the case of two Oregon ranchers who were convicted of arson in 2012 and are scheduled to report to federal prison Monday. The ranchers were convicted on a broad terrorism charge. Many ranchers and land users in the West lease public land.

Of course, talking about ammosexual derpism is, well, #DERP.

Wouldn’t want to upset the base, now, would we?

Pointing out obvious flaws to the oblivious is never a good idea. Let the ignorant live in their bliss. They are easier to manipulate and grift off of that way.

So true.
(Man o man, they’ve been giving me a workout over on the “Texas Governor” thread…)
StoneyCurtisll January 3rd, 2016 at 20:13
Why is the Texas Gov in that wheel chair?..
Acting like he can shoot a .50 Cal rifle?
Is he really in the wheelchair?
Or just posing?.

He’s a paraplegic who got squished by an oak tree whilst jogging after a storm.
Sued the homeowner and won $10,000,000.

I learn something new everyday…
Thanks~!

He really is handicapped and got lots of help from the government to get through life. Now he wants to deny that help to those he deems unworthy. Hardcore #daesbag hypocrite hater is what he is.
StoneyCurtisll January 3rd, 2016 at 20:21
Thank you…
I wasn’t aware of that..
Hirightnow January 3rd, 2016 at 20:25
Yeah…kinda hard to pity someone who gets hurt jogging in River Oaks in Houston (Look at the prices for homes there…), wins 10M in a lawsuit, then works to get a law that caps punitive damages at two times the amount of economic damages awarded plus $750,000.
(His spokesman claims Abbot didn’t seek punitive damages in his suit. Riiiiight.)

The epitome of ‘I got mine, screw you’.

Sometimes I just let them do what they want and clean everything up the next day. I’m not going to babysit 24 hours a day, no one should, these people are supposed to be grown adults.
I kinda like the idea too, that some of theses idiots spend all this time and energy trying to put their message out there and then I come along the next day and make all their work just go away.
Hirightnow January 3rd, 2016 at 20:37
Yeah, I get you. But I was free all afternoon.
(I kinda like the ideal of them trying to post more of their nonsense,and finding out they can’t; besides, by tomorrow, they’ll be sober. :P)
StoneyCurtisll January 3rd, 2016 at 19:59
Exactly…
They know the base is all for this type of craziness.

Candidate Limbots always wait for GOP leader Rusty the racist to Limbaughtomize them on the situation. Leading the same GOP lemmings off the same bluff daily.
Hirightnow January 3rd, 2016 at 20:39
You mean, the ones who are so quick to call others “sheeple”?
Obewon January 3rd, 2016 at 20:58
Gullible Old Projectionists!

Like in Council Bluffs Iowa??
The Original Just Me January 4th, 2016 at 03:51
The Bluff part anyway.

Okay, now you have my Tongue all twisted up with that one.

I hope Obama sends a drone their way and ends this thing in a big way…I want to hear the R’s explain how a bunch of seditionists are the good guys.
The Original Just Me January 4th, 2016 at 03:48
What needs to be done is bring a squadron of B52s into Idaho, fill them with cow Manure from the Many dairies and Bomb the crap out of these Loud Mouthed idiots.
labman57 January 3rd, 2016 at 21:38
Hardly surprising.
These types of gun-toting, self-serving seditionists are part of the Republican Party’s core support base. Don’t want to ruffle feathers, now.
The Original Just Me January 4th, 2016 at 03:46
Just more of the Republican Militia. These kinds of ARMED Fruit Cakes are showing up everywhere there is a News Camera.
Guy Lauten January 3rd, 2016 at 21:45
Extra! Extra! RWNJs all over the Internet conflate the Black Lives Matter movement with the Federal Bureau of Land Management, ’cause – you know – they have the same 3 letters. Derp.
The Original Just Me January 4th, 2016 at 03:44
So does Blame Liberal Media.
William January 3rd, 2016 at 22:21
WHAT? The GOP candidates aren’t going to clamor all over themselves for a photo-op with these “patriots”?

They are waiting for instructions from their PACs
The Original Just Me January 4th, 2016 at 03:41
They are awaiting further instructions from their Mother Ship above. Signals are soon to be received through their Tin Foil Hats.

WHY???? Even Trumpet?
The Original Just Me January 4th, 2016 at 03:39
Even the Convicted ranchers want these Idiots to go away and leave them alone. Nobody wants anything to do with these Over The Top Crazies. Go Home and leave the few intelligent people there are let alone. What we have here are Republicans who are doing nothing more than trying to Grab Attention and NOTHING more.

Look for Barry the Red to get General Reno on the horn.
“Hello General Reno? Er, um ah, um this lil prolem in Orgun?
I, your Kommanderinchief order you must rain down hellfire and brimstone upon them. Just like you did the Krersh fellow.
Don’t make like I’d did with Assad. These gun rites nuts are way more dangrus than Trojan Horses commin here evry day. An’ Globalwarmin. An’ besides that’s what Valrie sez to do.
So, smoke em out. This will be the good war. Gotta run – The cleaners are here with my leather vest and chaps – Havin a 4 some for lunch on the Golf Course. Carry on. Bye. huh? No, you can’t drop my name to get into the bath house no matter how you dress.
