Richard Hudson, North Carolina Republican Congressional Candidate, Goes Birther

Roll Call:

Is Richard Hudson, a former Hill chief of staff and now top contender for the GOP nomination in North Carolina’s 8th district, a “birther”?

It certainly sounds like it. At a county tea party forum on Tuesday, Hudson said there was still some ambiguity as to whether the president was a citizen of United States.

Appealing to a small, rad_ical, ra_cist, ignorant group of people is always the goal of the GOP in elections.

The problem with the Republicans, now and in the future, is that they realize that they cannot openly use the "N" word because it would turn off the more educated elements of the electorate. So what do they do? They know that they can still get their racial message across by speaking in code; and the code is "he's not one of us," "he's a Muslim," "he was not born here," and the listener knows what the speaker is talking about. It was like Romney's banner the other day in Ohio....they know what they are doing and they are not ashamed of doing it. They fear, and their followers fear, an America that is changing and they are not ready for it. Fear is their only card and they have been using it for years.

Taggart: [on learning Bart is the new sheriff of Rock Ridge] Now if that don't beat all. Here we take the good time and trouble to slaughter every last Indian in the West, and for what? So we can appoint a sheriff that's blacker than any Indian. I am depressed.

No, thoughts, plans, ideas, solutions. Just hype, hypocrisy and birther conspiracies.

As long as TGOPers like Hudson can keep up the crap they seem to believe that they don't have to get anything done or be held accountable.

Just another Republican that is trying to hide the fact that either

1) he does not have an agenda, or

2) his agenda is too unpalatable for most voters.

You have been drinking way to much Koolaid and bowing at the alter of Obama in worship.
-He has given us gas prices up over 100+% since he took office
-The first president in history who will have a higher UE RATE than when he came into office.
-Will have added $5 trillion + in new debt in 3 yrs more than any othe rpresident in history.
-Passed a healthcare act that will be ruled unconstitutional by rushing it through and not reading it.
-Devalued the Dollar almost 40% in some currency by printing to many dollars and weakening our currency.
-Has started a war with Libya who didn't attack us and didn't go though congress to wage it.
-Pays less taxes than his secretary and pays women in the WH 18% less than the men.
-Bows down to other leaders which no president is suppose to do and is constantly apologizing for America and other countries think we are weak.
Gitmo still open for business.
Hasn't lowered taxes 18 times and has kept the Bush tax cuts in place that he promised to repeal.See here's how a tax cut works it when you are paying less than you were before.

Thats sounds like a great job

Let's get shed of these teafarty armchair government philosophers once and for all, shall we?

Here's an unstoppable and incredibly easy way to ensure the Democrat VICTORY in Nov.:

1. Call five friends, one a day.
2. Invite each to your "Poll Party".
3. Make sure they registered.
4. Pick them up on Election Day.
5. Go to the polls, vote straight Dem tickets.
6. Take them for drinks or dessert afterwards
7. Celebrate the Dem victory!”

We outnumber Baggerstanners by at least two to one. Let's make use of that fact at the polls.

Your suggesting you should buy your friends votes? By the way, the Tea Party or your name calling of it, are people who belive in our countries founding documents. You remember those right? I would guess you don't. Your one of those people who want to take from me to have it given to you. Your a SOCIALIST. Socialism is great, until you run out of other peoples money, that is were our Republic stands today, we can all thank FDR for that. Out of money, broke, bankrupt, in debt over our heads because of your want for socialistic programs. Your great grandchildren will still be paying for our mistakes if we can float this mess that long and hand it over to them, all because of folks who think like you. My guess is it won't matter much who wins in 2012, because the collapse of the dollar is near. We can't afford to buy a loaf of bread anymore without borrowing the money from China. What are we going to do when they call in the note? You seem to have all the answers, what say you?

Wrong. The Tea Party has no interest in the "founding documents"; they simply make up their own version of them.

Okay, with all this birther stuff going on for so long, has anyone actually asked why? What would the point of this big conspiracy be? Why go through all the trouble? It doesn't make sense on any level.

It is getting really embarrassing to be a North Carolinian.. I wish God would send the Tea Party a message that racism, sexism, and government supported capitalism are not really on his (God's) agenda...

[Donald Guinard]

01:31 AM on 04/21/2012

God, hahahaha not likely. The big man in sky, I hope he will help you with that. Please Please god help tell the Tea Party our founding documents are not real and we have no rights. Or at least make them think we don't need them any more. Hahaha foolish thinking. Where do you get this stuff?

So you are for opressive Communism then?

[mowprincess]

Your logic has a bit to be desire.. I know you feel satisfied when call someone who disagrees with you a communist, but does being a communist in your world mean being a racist, sexist, and giving government subsidies to corporations making record profits? Try again..

I SINCERELY believe that ALL elected officials SHOULD be put UNDER OATH whenever they take the podium to address the American people, their constituents, the opposing party, on the floor or commenting to the news media!!!!! The blatant LYING by ALL politicians undermine our democracy and is not consistent to the ethical standards that is expected of our military commanders and citizens under oath. Lying, falsifying statements and misleading the American people should be considered an ethical crime punishable by impeachment and immediate removal from office. THIS APPLIES TO ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS regardless of party affiliation. It's time the American people get what we pay for-professionalism. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will never happen, but we would have every seat in Congress if it did. Without lying to the stupid and scaring the cowardly, what else would regressives have to run on?
