Why do all these conservaturds with skeletons in their closes, continue to run on family values? Why can't they just call a spade a spade?

When they're found out, it makes it was easy as shooting fish in a barrel for their opponents. Especially when you claim it's all lies and some smear campaign, only to later admit it.

Truth = smear campaign. Does that make sense to anyone else outside of Teabagistan?

The article points out how the website changed dramatically, and even the site's owner points out that Baby Quayle saw the change and got out because it was not in line with his future plans. There is nothing shameful about that, except that he was young and horny and now he's a few years older and stupid.

Once again the classic "non-denial denial" by someone in or running for office. If you read Quayle's omments closely you can only fairly interpret them as a failure to deny his involvement with "TheDirty.com." Particularly interesting is his comment that he had not planned to run for Congress six years ago, when he was doing his dirty work. Hah. Now it comes back to bite him. Nevertheless, it will not be a surprise if he wins the primary and thus the election in this heavily Republican district, given the advantages he has (as described in the article).

“…I don’t recall exactly what happened," Quayle said. Oh the convenient memory of politicians.

First Ben "rents" a family for his ads.
Then we find out he apparently was in a coma from Jan.22, 2001 to Jan. 20, 2009, (he claims in his ads that Obama is the worst prez in history.)
Now we find out he posted on TheDirty.com under the name of Brock Landers.
Is ANYthing honest about this guy? Sheeesh...

SteveDenver: I wish there were some other explanation besides coma from 2001 to 2009... what really, what else could it possibly be? No conscious thinker could have that much selective memory loss, right?
And Brock Landers?? Brock Landers? Mark Wahlberg should boogie nights all over Ben's sorry a** for that and lay down the law on who is " a star, a star, a star, a big, bright, shining star."

I'd vote for him if he had a very promising plan to get us out of Afghanistan!

Not very likely any Rep*blic@n would have a plan to get us OUT of war.

Yet when Ben Quayle (son of potatoe) was interviewed on KTAR-TV (channel 12-PHX) last night (8-10 @ 6pm)he admitted that he HAD written for it "to drive traffic to the site". His words. Ben's deer in the headlights look was quite telling. Apparently he feels he isn't a 'founder' but he WAS one of the original writers. Interesting take on 'not involved'. He's going down, there are 10 count 'em TEN rethugs running for Shadegg's seat.

Judging from the number of comments posted, no one seems to care what Ben says. But that could be due to overly strict moderation though I have no idea of why my post is not shown.
