Hey! 72% of District 1 in Texas! Who do You Think You Are? (Re: Gohmert.)

Last edited Sun Dec 16, 2012, 04:21 PM - Edit history (1)

What right - morally anyway – do you have to push Louie Gohmert on the rest of the United States, where people can read…and think? I’ve searched in vain for any quote by Gohmert that wasn’t moronic or outright crazy, but this is the worst: "I wish to God she had had an M4 in her [the principal of Sandy Hook] office locked up and so when she heard gunshots... she takes his head off before he can hurt those kids,"

Nice sentiment. But who the hell thinks ANYONE should start shooting an automatic rifle in a class filled with children? You want him to represent you? Fine. Then take him back to Texas and make him a mayor…but get him off of the national stage.

what I have been thinking for years and the same goes for Virginia Fox who doesn't believe in education but is on the committee for education.

That's a part of why we have such large number of insane congress critters. They've gerrymandered the state to such a point it's all but impossible to vote them out anymore.

We're well and truly screwed and everyone suffers for it.

"Please forgive me, but this is the closest three wise men will ever get the the Capitol."

Gotta love and miss this Texas icon and Molly Ivins, as well. We just don't have anymore like them.

The principle was coming out of a meeting when she encountered the killer. She could not have gotten to such a weapon, even if there was one "locked" in her office.

I'm also sure this IDIOT would not be willing to increase funding for schools so that the teachers could have access to weapons.

That's the question to ask idiots like Gohmert.

"Recently, he stirred controversy by saying attempts to remove religion from the public square were partly to blame for the Aurora, Colo., shootings, and theorizing that the rampage could have been avoided if more people carried guns inside movie theaters. Mr. Gohmert later issued an apology, saying he was sorry “if my comments caused heartache to anyone in Colorado.”
