Whaddya know

Thanks to Thaddeus McCotter's abrupt resignation, Michigan's 11th Congressional district has to have a special election to fill the remainder of his term (which, with recesses, etc. will probably last less than one month).  Due to the lateness of the resignation, however, the district can have the election coincide with this year's elections in November--and even better, if the Democrats and Republicans each only pick one candidate, a special primary election at a cost of $650,000 can be avoided and each name will just be put on a ballot this November to complete the last few days of McCotter's term

Those noted spendthrifts, the Democrats, decided on their one candidate, David Curson, to help save the struggling state of Michigan that $650,000.  But lo and behold, the republicans, that party that is ever concerned that a nickel of our hard earned taxes is wasted on such frivolties as food stamps and public education, just couldn't come together and have one candidate, to again, save the taxpayers of Michigan $650,000.  Want to guess how many candidates will appear on the ballot costing the taxpayers of Michigan $650,000?  Not two.  Nope.  Not three.  Not even four.  It's five.  Five fucking republicans put their self-interest above helping save the state of Michigan $650,000.  And these shit for brains are the frugal ones?

Afraid not.  They're just the assholes.  How in God's name the republican party is any more than a pimple on the ass of the body of political parties is a tribute to the stupidity of far too many Americans.

Peace,
