I Hate Fox News

Not to sound like a broken record but c'mon team McCotter. The quality of this upload is really bad. I don't really care that much (being the ancient, old, non-smartphone toting person that I am) about the poor pixel count of this vid, but other folks will.



Thad keeps on saying that this election is the social networking election for the Repubs. The T-Mac team needs to start listening to their boss.

Getting To Know Thad

The media doesn't hate Republican politicians. The media hates politicians that don't help them sell newspapers and instead just say a lot of words that mean nothing...case in point the Hilary Clinton 2008 Prez Campaign. Seth Mandel says some nice things in this write-up he did for Commentary Magazine about my main man Thad. Below are some highlights:

"McCotter may be the smartest–and easily the funniest–candidate in the field. I wrote about him here in May. Concerning policy, this is the basic roundup of where he stands:

McCotter is also aching to reframe the terms of the debate. The War on Terror, to McCotter, is really the War for Freedom, to be fought against “kufar fascism” with our “arsenal of democracy.” To McCotter, the United Nations is a “global Tammany Hall.” He decries the left’s “civil religion” and the pro-China lobby’s maxim, in his words, “make loot not war.”

McCotter is pro-market–he rails against the overregulation he calls the red tape worm–but he also warns against the transfer from a nation-state to a market-state ruled by global elites, referencing Wilhelm Röpke’s “humane economy.” And while he is pro-free trade, he seeks to advance the cause of “freedom trade”–tying trade agreements to human rights and ethical trade practices (and quoting Natan Sharansky in the process).

On defense, he is a vigorous supporter of peace through strength (instead of “peace through speech”), and he is especially tough on Iran and China. He compares the Iran-Syria alliance to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and calls for a Liberty Alliance that would not include a military component."

I Love Liberal Bloggers

Liberal bloggers are pretty much awesome. I laughed reading this post by Blaire Burke at Wonkette and the comments that it got almost as much as I did watching Pearl The Landlord. Thank you Blaire. You truly have a huge talent!

A few choice quotes from the article:
"But now maybe he [McCotter] is starting to feel left out of the unstoppable Orgy of Insanity that is the barf puddle of GOP candidates, because he is about to unleash his crazy on us at last!"


"God came down to Earth in 1865 (with Moses, probably) and freed the slaves, and then every person in the “United States” became an actual individual country, because of the sovereignty in everyone’s soul, and then we secured the borders and kicked out the King, the end? Okay!"


A few choice quotes from the comments:

""Some of my best friends are liberals!"
Shut the f&ck up, Thaddeus." -emmelemm



"Thad McCotter still remains my favorite house elf in all of the Harry Potter stories."  -Lionel[redacted]Esq


"I for one am grateful for Thad. He reminds me of my ex-spouse, only more boring. And I had lived for years believing that was just not possible. Life is full of surprises!"  -Papa_Uniform


"Wasn't Thaddeus McCotter a villain in a Matlock episode?"  -petehammer

Wow. McCotter keeps saying that 2012 is the Republican social networking election, but he clearly needs a reality check if he thinks these first two releases by the YouTube Channel Students4McCotter are going to cut it. The first one is downright boring and it is definitely not "The Best of" my man Thad. Whoever the campaign lackey is (Taylor Brogan according to http://studentsformccotter.wordpress.com/) that's posting these would do well to remember that young people today have attention spans of 8 seconds.

Sorry ass vid number 1



Sorry ass vid number 2



The second one is funny because Thad is awesome. However, around the 4 minute mark the volume drastically goes down showing the incompetence of the editor. Sorry to be such a debbie downer but get with it Students4McCotter.
