HUGE Republican FAIL, LOL

[catbyte]

Thaddeus McCotter, the GOP douche bag whose bright ideas included forcing children in foster care to buy clothes exclusively in used clothing stores, failed to submit the required number of signatures to be placed on the August 7 Primary ballot. What a loser! He's been a congressman for 10 years and his re-election was a sure thing. It couldn't happen to a nicer fellow.

He-he-he-he

[freshwest]

2. Thought he was elected for life, huh? And "Dogs Aren't Luggage--HISS!” LOL!!

[boxman15]

3. As a member of his district, I couldn't be happier!

I'm so glad this asshole will be gone soon. I'm sick of him "representing" me and this district.

[oldhippydude]

8. who's the blue candidate..

any chance we have of picking up the seat?

[boxman15]

26. There are a couple Democrats running right now.

It was assumed Thad would win and win big this year, so with him out, we have a really good chance to turn the district blue. It's exciting.

[oldhippydude]

30. fantastic keep us posted!!!

[goclark]

11. Yea! How did you all

get out the votes?

[Chorophyll]

4. Yippee!

Buh-bye Thaddeus, you mean-spirited f*ck.

[murielm99]

5. He's in a rock band, called the

Second Amendments?

Oh, PLEASE.

[AlbertCat]

35. The Second Amendments

I know.... just awful. Do they shoot their guitars or each other at the end of the set?

[aquart]

6. Does he have a primary opponent?

[James48]

36. yes.

Thad announced yesterday he's doing a write-in campaign. good luck with that.

[stlsaxman]

37. Let's hope those who would vote for him can't spell "Thaddeus McCotter"

i mean... look at the signs they come up with...

[Bozita]

40. Primary opponent is a Teabagger

Now, the Teabagger is the only GOPer on the primary ballot.

9. bawahahahahah

snork! wow, does he deserve his karma

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Double DUH-O good!

[siligut]

12. May all scumbag republicans be cursed with incompetent staff

[Harmony Blue]

14. Has our society become so distracted

that they can't even handle the basics? What is wrong with this guy?

[caseymoz]

15. Yeah, these guys are business savvy.

An argument Repubs have always used is that they know how to run businesses, so of course they know how to run efficient government.

The entire Repub presidential primary was like this. Votes being lost, not counted, etc.

These dumbasses and psychotics aren't fit to govern a shoe store.

[Cosmocat]

32. +100

Something, isn't it!

[corkhead]

16. that means the only remaining republicon candidate is a teabagger...

"What an awesome development. Kerry Bentivolio (previously iCaucus endorsed), just may be the only Republican running in CD-11. Presidential primary washout and Romney water carrier, Thesaurus McModerate, appears to not have collected the necessary 1,000 valid signatures to be on August primary ballot."

Hopefully this will result in a Dem pickup in November.

[TroglodyteScholar]

17. More proof of what everyone already knew...

This guy's an idiot.

[Scurrilous]

18. ROFL

[Odin2005]

19. What a dumbass. How does he remember to breathe?

[librechik]

20. monitoring this story to see how they connive to get him on anyway.

what do they care about electoral law?

[Auggie]

21. I'm thinking the exact same thing

[Mz Pip]

25. I suspect the GOP will "find"

plenty of signatures in a closet somewhere to get this douche on the ballot. Since when do freaking rules matter to Republicans?

[KamaAina]

27. He could pull a Lisa Murkowski

Michigan Live indicates that Thad McCotter could run as a write-in candidate, with some strings attached:

But he would need to win more votes than the other Republican who filed to run and also get a minimum threshold of votes – 5 percent of all votes cast in the “top-of-ticket” race in the district, most likely the U.S. Senate primary for Debbie Stabenow’s seat.

[AllyCat]

22. This reminds me of the "Recall Liberals" bumper sticker I saw in WI

All I could do was laugh because they haven't recalled ANY of them and indeed, couldn't even get enough interest to go out and collect signatures this time around.

Of course, when one is already a congressman and fails to get the sigs, that's pretty epic.

[Common Sense Party]

23. Wasn't he allegedly running for president?

[GoCubsGo]

24. Yes.

[Common Sense Party]

28. I think maybe 150 people nationwide knew that he was running.

Stealth candidate.

[GoCubsGo]

29. He didn't last very long, if I recall.

There was a thread or two about it here, but I didn't see much about it elsewhere.

[DallasNE]

31. Shows McCotter Was Lazy And Sloppy

With a sense of entitlement, perhaps a little more so than the average Tea Bagger, but still.

[Initech]

33. Wow - such a compassionate conservative.

[Heathen57]

34. LMAO

sometimes Karma hits these thugs right between the eyes.

[bread_and_roses]

38. "Dogs Against Romney, Cat Division" - Love it

"Dogs Aren't Luggage--HISS!” -

[hue]

39. Awesome!! Stupidity rules!!!
