The Rotting and Desiccated Corpse of the Late H. Lee Atwater
Welcome to the event that makes your pre-Halloween celebration the joyous occasion that it is, you ghosts and goblins, you The 9th Annual Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil!
This year, with the election sea on upon us, we have quite a collection of evil actors too chose from, a bumper crop of Right Wing characters. Has there ever been a more horrifying collection of Scary Monsters right before an election season?
Why do I ask that question every year? They're always bad.
The winner will be announced at Midnight ET on Halloween, when the Rotting and Desiccated Corpse of the Late H. Lee Atwater will rise from his grave in South Carolina and over the award with his boney hands.
Last year's winner, for the third time in a row, was the "Two-headed beast known as the "Koch Brothers: "http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025738879 alone with the first winner of the Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney Lifetime Achievement Award for Right Wing Evil, Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney, his god-damned self. Let's give others a chance this year, shall we?
Here is your collection of walking, talking Creature Features for your perusal. Your vote will determine who receives this year's auspicious award. You nominated some of these evil bastards earlier and I added the rest:

Ted "Carnival" Cruz

Paul "Ayn Rand" Ryan

Chris "Crisco for Blood" Christie

Roger "Trump's Id" Stone

Bruce "Ruiner" Rauner

"Mad Doctor" Ben Carson

Donald "Baby Three-Toed Tree Sloth" Trump

Sean "Creature Feature" Hannity

Jeb "George Who?" Bush

Bobby "Piyush Who?" Jindal

They've all earned it this year.

(64,569 posts)(See what I did there?). But I feel the need to single out Ted Cruz for hijacking religion along with his father and playing the Evil card so well in the debate by blaming the GOP ineptitude on "the librul media." Their answers to problems are garbage and they'll call out anyone trying to make them justify their rancid policies.
