“I never intended to tie people to animals,...... thank you DKRC
Edited on Mon Jan-25-10 10:01 PM by underpants
In a phone interview with CNN, Bauer, a Republican candidate for governor, said, “I wish I had used a different metaphor.” Bauer told an audience Friday that people receiving government assistance are like “stray animals” because “they breed” and “don’t know any better.”

“I never intended to tie people to animals,” he said, before opting for a kinder animal metaphor: “If you have a cat, if you take it in your house and feed it and love it, what happens when you go out of town?”

Noting that he has raised money for a group that protects animals, Bauer also said he is “not against animals.”

1. Sounds like a stupid idiot is having a hard time digging himself
out of a hole.

I was born in South Carolina. Fright Wing idiots are a dime a dozen there.
I have relatives there that are bigoted and elitist. That is one of the main reasons I moved away.
Staying there and trying to change the spots on a leopard was an exercise in futility for me.

5. Andre Bauer is a first class asshole.
And if South Carolina elects him they will only prove how backwards they are. I'm so glad my parents had the decency to get me out of that state when I was 3! I couldn't live there now if you paid me.

6. He should wear a little shovel on his lapel
It's the international symbol for digging yourself a deeper hole every time you open your mouth.

9. K&R
You're more than welcome.
I could not believe the industrial strength asshattery of LtGov Bauer when I read what he considers an apology.
