Another GOP Senate candidate with foot in mouth disease.

So what is the issue here? The media just loved it when Plugs gave his open mic interpretation of the signing of Obamacare.

Are you kidding? Won’t change a SINGLE f***ing vote!

And a set of cojones grande. It is time Reps stop taking any crap from the biased MSM. It will win him votes. The public knows that the MSM is biased in favor of the Dems. Let's stop playing games that they are objective.

The liberal MSM will be moderating all the debates. I hope Romeny and/or Ryan goes after them and calls them out.

Uhh, no. Where can I go to donate to a guy who has done what I wish every single last Republican would have done when faced with the media bias of the corrupt press. Growing a pair is not stupid, it is a sign that we have someone who is tired of taking it in the shorts.

This is what is in the article, which I suggest you read:

From the reporter:

I interviewed Baumgartner yesterday in the context of the story about US Rep. (and US Senate candidate) Todd Akin (R-MO). It’s hard to know what prompted his e-mail last night, but he noted during our interview yesterday that he was frustrated that the abortion issue was getting so much attention when he was focused on ending the war in Afghanistan.

Like Akin, Baumgartner is against abortions in instances of rape. Baumgarnter trashed Akin’s “ignorant” and “stupid” comments about women’s supposed ability to avoid getting pregnant from rape. However, he stood by his own anti-abortion/pro-life position.

Baumgartner has released a statement:

"Senator Michael Baumgartner made this statement today regarding PubliCola’s article that published a private e-mail between him and PubliCola editor, Josh Feit:

"“This was a follow-up e-mail to a previous conversation with a local blogger,” Baumgartner said. “I apologize to Josh for my strong language.”

“A cornerstone of my campaign thus far has been to address and end the war in Afghanistan. Every week, our best American men and women are killed. Since I announced my candidacy in October, 301 Americans have been killed.”

“The problem is that many media outlets, including PubliCola, do not want to talk about why these men and women continue to be killed. They don’t want to discuss Maria Cantwell’s record supporting the war in Afghanistan or a smarter foreign policy that can save thousands of lives in the future.”

And Baumgartner's email:

"Josh, this is Pat Feeks, a Navy SEAL killed last week in Afghanistan. Take a good look and then go f**k yourself.

Reporter: That appears to be Baumgartner on the left; Baumgartner was an adviser in Iraq during the surge, and he was embedded with an Afghan counternarcotics team in 2009.

What this sounds like is another liberal reporter playing a game of gotcha. Baumgartner got fed up, apparently because he knows the Navy SEAL in the picture who was killed last week. This is not "foot in mouth disease," but a patriot who is fed up with the MSM. Good for him.

Another GOP Senate candidate with foot in mouth disease.

The stupid party rears its ugly head and its behind. It'll be a miracle if Obama's replaced and doubly-so if somehow the GOP won the senate.

[ArrogantBustard]

Wrong. In fact, you couldn't be wronger if you tried.

The presstitutes NEED to be told off, in no uncertain terms, and regularly.

Mr. Baumgartner would be having foot-in-mouth disease if he were to apologize.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Are you male or female?Yes, it matters.

[Impy]

I said when I saw a GOP Sen candidate had gotten in trouble (Akin) that I hoped it was the guy in WA or some other state we weren’t gonna win anyway. Jeez!!

Unfortunately this race is a huge longshot with or without him throwing F bombs.
