Things you never want to hear a US senator say

[Althea]

The fact that the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act passed with strong bipartisan support makes me feel like liberal Republicans actually existed as a constituency the 1970s.

I don't disagree. Back then, those things weren't 'liberal'. They were common sense.

It was also widely accepted that compromise was the only way to get things done, as the Founders demanded when they crafted the govt..

Then Gingrich decided that monkeys flinging shit was the only way to get control of the House.

I lived my whole life in the Midwest, where white people pronounce Mom's sister's title as "ant." Black people and people for whom English is a second language pronounce it "aunt." It is also "aunt" here among the indigenous folks.

Yes, I've notice that. What's the name of our language? Would King Charles pronounce it "ant?"
Well, Liz doesn't pronounce it like Teddy did, but I really like her anyway.
It just sounds a tad grating from a Massachusetts senator, that's all.
The lady [I didn't say broad this time!] is just a few elocution lessons from being perfect, but at her age, I guess she gets a pass.

I believe she's from the Midwest, right? Oklahoma? Ask Leaningright, but I think he probably pronounces it "ant" as well.

I always had the impression that Midwesterners thought that pronouncing it "aunt" made you sound stuck-up and maybe a Brit sympathizer.

I didn't use Aunt or Ant, I said totya.

My recollection is that John Anderson, who identified as a liberal Republican, ran to the left of Jimmy Carter as an independent in the 1980 presidential election

In Connecticut, I always felt like liberal Republican Lowell Weicker was to the left of Lieberman

if you voted someone with mental issues into the Oval Office why does it bother you if one of 100 senators shares his problem?.....

That’s a damn good question sir. The only answer I have for you, that kind of makes sense, is that personally I prefer my political leaders have mental issues. Otherwise they won’t get get squat done.

has any president in the last fifty years gotten more things done with less help than Donald Trump?........I guess then he had more mental issues than all the rest.......and praise the Lord he did.....

Another of Hershey's ex girlfriends came forward yesterday and said he went psycho on her and tried to beat her up.

Now now! I wouldn’t be so hasty to draw conclusions. I mean tried to beat her up? How do you try? Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of Hershel the athlete. One of the very best athletes I’ve ever seen but Hershel the politician is a joke. We all know this is a cynical ploy to take advantage of his name recognition and in the day of the Kardashian’s, probably not a bad one.

Besides, have you ever had a large angry black woman take a swing at you? I have. Only time I’ve ever been knocked out in my life was by a large angry black woman. The scary part was she wasn’t even mad at me.

Who knows man? He may have been confronted by large angry black woman. What’s a brother gonna do? Stand there and get his jaw broke? Not even Hershel is that crazy!

I guess we could look forward to Walker losing his mind and going psycho on the floor of the Senate. That is CSPAN footage I would watch.

Hell, I’d sell it for PPV!

And "spelt" is spelled, "spelled". Ok ready for your "groan", child.

Oh dear, this is a repeat of your Turkey not being in NATO faux pas. I won't groan you though just try to do better!

The verb spell commonly means to write or name the letters making up a word in the right order. Spell is a verb with irregular and regular forms. Spelled and spelt are both common forms of the past tense and the past participle of spell, though with geographical differences.

I'd pay good money to see TTQ64 kicking Soi Boi's arse, he'd probably enjoy it though.
