Doesn’t matter. The lying leftist media will attack and destroy whatever Republican/Conservative comes down the pike to oppose their Derp State puppets, regardless of their background. We need to stop looking for a flawless candidate. They don’t exist. I’m certainly not going to crucify a man over a teenaged affair from over 40 years ago, especially when he did right by her. Enough is enough.

You got that right. With Republicans as friends, from what I seen, you damn sure don’t need enemies.

just not true. republicans did quite well in the last house elections. so, that inch of your hopelessness drenched rant is crap.

run this guy and lose. it’s as simple as that. and when you do, blame your own stupidity. not some sinister imaginary monster.

Since when is not putting up someone who admitted to being a rapist mean you only want a flawless candidate? Not being a rapist is a pretty low bar.

Just a teenage love affair is putting stupid spin on it when it is an 18 year old and a 14 year. People are overly defending this guy for no reason.

Mistakes were made people say? Well, too damn bad. Deal with your stupid mistakes on your own and get out of my race.

And by the way, this wasn’t over 40 years ago. 1987 is 34 years ago and she committed suicide just 31 years ago in 1990. That’s a hell of lot more recent than the people talking about 40, 50, 100 years ago.

Stop the stupid defense and move on.

What isn’t true exactly ? You didn’t address my point, but went off in another direction.

To address the tangent you went off on: Republicans did well in the 2020 (House) elections because President Trump actually won the election (and indeed, at least two dozen - and quite possibly more - federal candidates were similar victims of massive voter fraud). But again, that wasn’t the point I was making.

You seem to want the elusive flawless candidate. Those don’t really exist. Even if you do find one, again, the media will attack and destroy them with fake and phony allegations. I supported Chief Justice Roy Moore, and unapologetically, and he had his Senate race stolen from him (aided and abetted by corrupt Derp State RINOs in Alabama). That was a character assassination against him. I have NOT YET endorsed a candidate against the warmonger Derp Stater loon Liz Cheney, but I will not dismiss State Sen. Bouchard over something from his teenage years that occurred 4 decades ago.

Following your lead here, we’d have dumped Candidate Donald Trump in 2016 over all the garbage allegations and nonsensical crap (grab ‘em by the...), and the Butcheress of Benghazi would’ve waltzed in over another Derp State ringer “replacement” RINO loser.

Again, enough is enough.

if you don’t like what I did to him, just wait till the democrats get started. politics is a contact sport. try to cope. this guy is a bleeder, and you’re an idiot if you back him in the primary.

I suggest you ponder the 11th commandment. Ask the admin to remove your libel of a Republican in a public forum. You can get your point across without resorting to libel.

Worked really well with Trump.

"Since when is not putting up someone who admitted to being a rapist mean you only want a flawless candidate? Not being a rapist is a pretty low bar."

I'd appreciate if you could point me to where State Sen. Bouchard admitted to being a rapist and when or where he was charged with criminal rape ?

"Just a teenage love affair is putting stupid spin on it when it is an 18 year old and a 14 year. People are overly defending this guy for no reason."

No, it isn't. In fact, the way some people are reacting here, they're painting it as though he was 50 years old having sex with a 14 year old (or having sex with a 6 year old). I guarantee in the 1970s, when this occurred, you would find quite a large number of teenagers with that age range having relations. 1980s and 1990s, too.

"Mistakes were made people say? Well, too damn bad. Deal with your stupid mistakes on your own and get out of my race."

YOUR race ? You own this contest ? Are you running ? Would we find any skeletons in your closet ? Doesn't matter. We'll just make them up. At least Sen. Bouchard had the courage to admit what happened. That's more than you can say for a lot of self-serving political aspirants.

"And by the way, this wasn’t over 40 years ago. 1987 is 34 years ago and she committed suicide just 31 years ago in 1990. That’s a hell of lot more recent than the people talking about 40, 50, 100 years ago."

I've seen conflicting info on his age, the usual sources I refer to don't have his birthyear published. 34 years ago is still a lifetime ago and doesn't change my opinion.

"Stop the stupid defense and move on."

He knocked up his girlfriend when they were teenagers. That's not a crime.

You didn’t answer my question AGAIN.

And I take it you supported the ultraleftist Doug Jones over Chief Justice Roy Moore for the Senate ? Because that was the alternative here.

We’re running candidates for office, sir. Not running candidates for sainthood. Grow up.

roy moore was a loser, this guy is a loser, and you’re hell bent on supporting and defending losers.

you are helping (in a microscopically small way) turn red seats blue. you need to stop.

Chief Justice Roy Moore was one of the greatest pro-Constitutional jurists in the last 50 years and would’ve made an excellent Senator and been a true pain in the ass to the corrupt and evil Derp State. That’s why the RINOs had to take him out, too much a threat to their alliance with the Demonrats. A loser ? Not by a long shot.

You’re the one hell bent on making a mountain of a molehill in trying to crucify Senator Bouchard over a teenage romance decades ago. And I’ve already told you I haven’t endorsed in this race, yet. I’m just not going to attack this gentleman over something like this.

Like I said, had we followed your lead and applied your impossibly high standards to Donald Trump, the Butcheress of Benghazi would be deep into her 2nd term.

OMG I remember so well how half of the people on this site saw Trump as the devil himself, how he was nothing but a HUGE LIB in sheep’s clothing!! Boy were they WRONG and it still makes me smile how WRONG they all were!!!

fine. whatever. go with God. I’m not wasting my time reading this crap any more. I fought the roy moore war when it happened. I was right then, and I’m right now.

run the bleeder, lose the seat. simple. I’m confident, however, that the party in CO is smart enough to step in and prevent this debacle. And even if they aren’t, the primary voters won’t walk into this minefield again.

so, one way or another, this problem will probably fix itself.

That may be. But the focus of my post had nothing whatsoever to do with that.

I know nothing of his personal story and circumstances, the law or anything along those lines. I don’t know anything about him past what I read in this article.

And did not paint him as a victim. That is your characterization.

If you actually read my post you would understand that my post was about the politics of personal destruction which is largely a collaborative effort between the Left in both the Democrat Party and The Media, with some participation by select Republicans.

“U.S. House candidate Anthony Bouchard had a relationship with and impregnated a 14-year-old girl when he was 18, he told the Star-Tribune late Thursday, hours after he disclosed the relationship in a Facebook Live video to his supporters.”

Anthony Bouchard says he had SEX with and knocked up a 14-year-old girl when he was 18.

Teenage years? EIGHTEEN! = ADULT

14 year old girl = teenager/jailbait.

“relationship”??? What?, they were just “friends” that liked to play “hide the weenie”?

By using the term “relationship” to avoid saying “SEX” he traps himself because “relationship” means you did it more than once.

I can’t see how ANY of you are defending this pedophile!

Your plusses are that they didn’t KILL the baby, he married her. (when she was 15).

BUT THEN gets divorced only 3 years later and eventually she commits suicide.

What a GREAT guy!!!/s

He got away with it all these years. NOW that he is found out, exposed, he STILL wants to continue to “get away with it”.

FORGET THIS GUY! HE IS TOAST! and DESERVES to be.

“Probably shouldn’t be held against the guy,”

WHAT? He did more than hold “it” against HER! She got pregnant!

RAPE! No, we should ALWAYS hold RAPE against a guy for committing RAPE.

Do you people HEAR yourselves?
