Recently, Washington DC resident Eric Hovde who is running for a Wisconsin Senate Seat actually took time away from sucking taxpayer dollars out of our government to actually visit Wisconsin, now probably wishes he hadn't. The problem was he spoke his truth, which never goes well for the republican party(FF to 13:45):
H/T Huffington Post:
Then, pointing to a reporter in the audience, Hovde said he would love to see the press stop covering sad stories about low-income individuals who can't get benefits and start covering issues like the deficit more frequently.This was followed by an announcement by the Koch Brothers Front Group, American for Middle Class Poverty , that they would immediately be spending $400,000 in ads for the Senate seat which will not be up for vote until November.
"I see a reporter here," he said. "I just pray that you start writing about these issues. I just pray. Stop always writing about, 'Oh, the person couldn't get, you know, their food stamps or this or that.' You know, I saw something the other day -- it's like, another sob story, and I'm like, 'But what about what's happening to the country and the country as a whole?' That's going to devastate everybody."
This is what the call damage control. Since there is a chance that Eric Hovde will win the republican nomination, they need to overwhelm the message and change the topic, ASAP.
Just some quick advice to AFP: It took $30 million dollars, 70 paid field organizers and busloads of paid looneys from Illinois to come up and make sure Scott Walker won his recall, and he is a professional politician who is actually from WI. I think estimating this gaffe at only $400,000 is a pretty low estimate.
Finally, one question I just can not figure out. What is the Prayer that Eric Hovde Prays to end these "sob stories"
Dear Jesus please make the stories of the poor disappear who cares about them anyway? Its the rich who might lose 3% of their income that you and I both know are the true Christians in this world?
Dear Jesus, why do my rich ears and eyes need to keep being exposed to boring stories of people not being able to eat? I had a Filet yesterday that was amazing but a little small, I was hungry an hour later and no reporter wrote a story about that
Dear Jesus, I know all of that talk about the poor in the New Testament was all just parables and code words. I know that the richest people on earth are the one who you love the most. Please make those annoying reporters stop wasting time on stories about the poor in this country. They live in America where a guy who lives in Washington DC can run for Senate in Wisconsin, so if i can overcome those odds, than those poor lazy people can go eat at McDonalds and stop bothering me.
Leave us a better prayer to stop the "sob stories" of the poor people in this country so we can start praying for Eric Hovde immediately!
Finally if this sickens you(like it should) please go here and give Tammy a little bit of support!

Its great to see someone call the liberal media on the carpet and tell them to stop being mouthpeices for the DNC and to actually start doing their job. But they won't we will still get the tales of doom and gloom and not focus on the issues, especially the way the DNC indoctrinates people to believe that governement entitlements is a lifystyle choice, instead of trying to find ways to better their economic situations with a little self determination to improve thier lives.
ReplyDeleteWell, once you said "liberal media," I knew you were a lost cause. Only the people that get their edumication from Faux News and squawk radio believe that line anymore.
Delete+ he rips corporate welfare.
ReplyDeleteHe actually seems to make sense; taking this video alone at least. He touched on the two most important issues to me, taking the money out of politics and regulating wall street. There's always a catch though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he got his millions from Wall Street and is now putting it into politics.
DeleteBy the way WATF please keep reading our blog you might learn something.....his complaint, as disgusting as it was, has zero merit:

Major U.S. newspapers have increasingly shifted their attention away from coverage of unemployment in recent months while greatly intensifying their focus on the deficit, a National Journal analysis shows.
