I think Congressman King has some problems with ‘foot in mouth disease’ similar, if not worse, than Aiken. Let’s look at his record of kooky statements
1. Women who have been legitimately raped or victims of incest don’t get pregnant because their reproductive system rejects the sperm.
(Forget about science, does anyone want this as the face of the Party? I don’t care if he can get elected in some corn patch district in Iowa. This ultimately reflects badly on all of us nationwide with all women)
2. Mexicans who come to America are like pet dogs. You want the pick of the litter. And border fences should be electrified, that’s how you control livestock.
(All Mexican-Americans will rightfully infer that he is a full-blown racist. I don’t care if he is but don’t put me or my party behind that Aryan Brotherhood kind of thinking.)
Just because someone is a reliable vote on most conservative issues, we don’t have to support him if he’s an idiot or a bigot.
I see most Tea Party folks as intelligent middle class, patriotic Americans. Surely we can find a better candidate among these folks and our obligation is to find them. If not, then many decent Republicans will defect or simply not vote. King isn’t my idea of the ‘pick of the litter’ to use his own standard.
And it isn’t ignoble or backstabbing or RINO to point this out.
Only racists think Mexicans are not white people.
