Politics Daily ^ | 8/25/10 | Patricia Murphy

Posted on 08/25/2010 4:17:24 AM PDT by paudio

Ben Quayle, the 33-year-old son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, narrowly topped a crowded GOP field in the contest to succeed retiring Rep. John Shadegg (R) in Arizona's 3rd congressional district.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Quayle collared 22.7 percent of the vote. Steve Moak, a successful Paradise Valley entrepreneur, was in second place with 18 percent, while Jim Waring was third with 17.4 percent, trailed by seven other candidates.

He called 0bama "the worst president in history." The left will target him heavily.

These comments from an AP article are troubling:

Campaigning as a family-values conservative, Quayle first denied then admitted that he wrote for a sex-steeped Arizona website. Among the quotes on the site attributed to him: "My moral compass is so broken I can barely find the parking lot.

Quayle also sent out a campaign mailer promoting his family values that flopped when it was revealed two little girls in the ad weren't his children. He and his wife do not have kids.

This bodes well for the Piper Palin 2034 congressional bid

Those lines from the article bother me too. What was the website? They don’t say. It also says the quotes “were attributed” to Quayle. Did he post it or not? I’d like to know if he claimed the girls in the flier were his kids. This election season is going to be very interesting.

I see. So the website owner "outed" Quayle's pseudonym, it started out as a satire site and morphed into something else and "The website recently reposted the entries from 2007 and 2008."

I don't see an agenda here, do you?

Beginning at the exact moment his name became known, leftist operatives have been illegally using their access at work to data files on Quayle to “find” something they can use against him. If they don’t find anything, they will make it up or find someone to swear it’s true.
In the mind of a democrat, anything goes if it’s for their ultimate goal - a communist America.

Like the Quayle kid - he’s tough and unashamed of being a conservative - like mom Marilyn. He’s a keeper.

The leftist operatives in the media haven’t been able to find much to roast him on. But they are looking. Even as we speak, little leftists are using their work-related access to private files to dig up information on Quayle and release it to the press.
They will NEVER be prosecuted for their invasion of his privacy.

Remember Joe the Plumber and how all that “information” mysteriously appeared in the press after he asked an embarrassing question to the big marxist.

I agree with the Drudge headline up...

Media could not stop him...

They tried so hard to diss and alinsky him.

They even tried POTATOE

I believe this is a safe Republican seat. He should drive the Democrats nuts for years to come.

That “potatoe” garbage with Quayle senior was a setup. He said it was spelled with an “e” on the card he was given.

I truly believe that was the beginning of the media using alinsky tactics and showing bias.

They will find a way to pin the potatoe on the Junior Quayle. The media are irresponsible and anti-American.

Yes. And Chris Matthews was one of the reporters. Chrissy was heard to say it was too bad they had to destroy Dan as he kinda liked him.

He didn't. The flier said something along the lines of, '...when I have kids...' and was blown out of proportion by a willing MSM.

So the AP is “Quayling” the younger Quayle. That’s expected.
