Eric Hovde - Dumb Ass!

Washington DC resident and Wisconsin Senate hopeful Eric Hovde, had a busy week last week.  First he whined about too many stories in the press about the poor, then he lied about what he said, then he fundraised off of what he said then he semi apologized about what he said finally he let everyone know it didnt matter what he said because he was a true American hero.   Lots to pack in one week. 

Unfortunately for the people of Wisconsin, there was no tipping point when it came to Hovde's dumb remarks.   He felt the need to trump them at the end of the week.  Is Hovde just an intellectual light weight fraud or is he just attempting to court the far right extreme voters and knows the crazier he sounds the better he does?

 These remarks came from Friday, during his "I did not really mean sob story tour".  Try and keep up, he tends to talk in circles.  

First he pulls his best Joe McCarthy and calls Tammy Baldwin a communist:

 "I fundamentally disagree with Tammy on almost everything. She has a more liberal voting record than almost anybody in Congress," he told The Hill in a recent interview. "Her philosophy has its roots in Marxism, communism, socialism, extreme liberalism — she calls it progressivism — versus mine, which is rooted in free-market conservatism."

Ignoring the fact that Marxism, communism, socialism, extreme liberalism and progressivism are all completely different ideologies, it seems that is a bit too complicated for Hovde.   He then goes on to give a very honest self assessment:

 "I frankly keep being amazed by the lack of maturity and lack of intelligence of those in the political world," he said, ripping politicians and the media(and talking about himself).

Not dizzy enough from this conversation, Hovde kept the conversation spinning, first he starts out telling us yet again what a hero to the underprivileged that he is:

 "You’re talking about a guy who’s had a [charity] foundation for 14-plus years, who has built homeless shelters around the globe, founded food pantries, meals on wheels. ... Anyone who wants to criticize me for being insensitive to the poor, I’ll put my record up against any Arianna Huffingtons'."

Hovde's campaign released on Wednesday a challenge to debate Huffington on who'd done more for charitable causes. He's given more than $10 million to charitable causes in recent years.

Of course Hovde nor his campaign "want" to talk about it*(unless he is giving interviews to anyone who will listen, giving speeches or if he could possibly debate anyone who will about how much he gives to charity).

  "I pray and hope they bring this up because it’ll drag them into a discussion I’d love to have. I don’t go out and talk about my charity because as a person of faith I don’t think I need to go out and promote that stuff.

Another thing is do NOT mess with him or he will beat you up, he lifts weights!! 

"I’m 6 foot three, weigh 225 and have been lifting and taking martial arts my whole life."

Hovde also apparently loves the taste of his own foot as everytime he opens his mouth he keeps inserting it, however that has yet to stop him, here is explaining why he lives in Washington DC, apparently because Mr. family values stole another man's wife:

 if not for his step-daughter, would have moved back long ago."Her father’s in D.C. and would never stand for us moving," he said.

 Finally on a follow up to their story, The Hill points out that the Hovde campaign took issue with the headline.   You be the judge:

From the Hovde campaign:

 "It is a misleading headline," said a Hovde spokesman. "Eric never called her a Communist. He was characterizing her liberal philosophy and vision which, if you look at her dismal record in Congress, is pretty accurate."

 Once more the quote:

"I fundamentally disagree with Tammy on almost everything. She has a more liberal voting record than almost anybody in Congress," he told The Hill in a recent interview. "Her philosophy has its roots in Marxism, communism, socialism, extreme liberalism — she calls it progressivism — versus mine, which is rooted in free-market conservatism."

Once more Eric hovde didnt say what we know he said but because he looked bad he did not say it.....that is all we need is one more no nothing representative who refuses to ever take personal responsibility for anything that they do!  

Once again....throw Tammy Baldwin some money and support since she is the only adult running in this race!!!!
