Or maybe not so dumb. If they're voting "big picture" they just want a reliable R vote. It doesn't really matter if Hershel can read or not, and they don't expect him to introduce legislation or serve in leadership. Just vote R.

I dunno, he didn't strike me as much of an attention-getter. Once in, he'd probably just do whatever he's been doing for the past few years and show up every now and then to do what his handler told him. Of course, there would be the media people who'd insist on asking him questions just for the entertainment of a response.Vrede too wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 12:12 amThey don't even care that he would have routinely humiliated the state, guaranteed.O Really wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 11:06 pm1.7 million people looked at their ballot and said to themselves "I'm gonna vote for the R football player"

I know that you have a particular interest in Wisconsin politics from contracting there:
‘I was throwing up with anxiety’: how Democrats fought back in America’s most gerrymandered state
Ben Wikler, Wisconsin’s Democratic party chair, on midterm success that means ‘democracy is going to survive in our state’
Phew.

Re: 2022 elections
Wisconsin, like many other states, is not exactly homogenous as to its politics. My Potawatomi were generally Dems, but they're only 15% of the total population of Forest County, which is reddish, trumping twice after voting for Obama. Pretty much like other places, with Blue cities and Red wilds.

Re: 2022 elections
So that guy Santos is "admitting" that he "embellished" his resume? And saying that with a straight (no pun intended) face? No. "Embellished" is saying you graduated with a major in economics when you really had a major in recreation. "Embellished" is saying you were a manager when you were really a night shift supervisor." The dude made up stuff totally not related to reality, and when caught is still doubling down. At first, I thought he was really stupid. Now, however, if people aren't able to come up with some way to get him out, its us that are the stupid ones. I guess nobody would have really expected this level of lying. And before Trump, it probably wouldn't have happened.

Re: 2022 elections
Hell, is it any wonder that these nuts do this shit? After all, they've been able to witness trump do it for years with (mostly) no ill effects. I think that some of them just believe they can do it better than trump did. This guy better hope I never run into him while I'm carrying a sack of choice fish. I mean to have a Jewish fish, a Catholic fish, an educated fish, a fish manager, and assorted random fish. All suitable for a righteous slap. Then, after the slap proper, I will deny having anything to do with it as I pick up my fish sack and walk off.O Really wrote: ↑Tue Dec 27, 2022 9:32 pmSo that guy Santos is "admitting" that he "embellished" his resume?

Re: 2022 elections
Most if not all employers would fire anybody caught with a fraudulent application or resume. Sometimes even after they employee has been there a while and has done a good job. And particularly for anything that had a significant part in the eligibility or selection process, such as degree requirement or specific work experience.
How can this guy get by with this?

Re: 2022 elections
IMO GOP Leadership should be locked up on general principle.
Slightly more sincerely, if the unpatriotic and amoral House GOP gets off their cowardly asses and boots him on ethics grounds, with the subsequent appointment/special election be damned, then few will care about whether Santos broke one or more laws.

U.S. Rep.-elect George Santos of New York was under investigation by Long Island prosecutors on Wednesday, after revelations surfaced that the now-embattled Republican lied about his heritage, education and professional pedigree as he campaigned for office.

Re: 2022 elections
I think I'd be looking under "who (all) did he lie to?" and "what was the purpose of the lies?" and "who benefitted from the lies?" and "who is harmed by the lies?"
If they can't find some version of fraud, theft, and possibly false reporting out of all that, then they're just a bunch of incompetents. And if they can't find anything criminal, I'll bet a civil suit by defrauded voters would work.

Re: 2022 elections
It was a Dem district, and actually the guy before Suozzi was named "Israel" but might not have been Jewish. But the Jews that are complaining the most are Republicans, who probably have been voting R all along. There surely were some Dem crossover, and a swing of Unaffiliateds, but not necessarily because he claimed to be Jewish.billy.pilgrim wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 9:57 pm
