Wonder if he is related to Herman Otten the anti-Semite holocaust denier who writes the hate filled newspaper called The Christian News that the Missourian publishes?

Quite a few skinheads and others of their ilk infest the area.

(14,779 posts)Eastern Washington border Idaho. Blue is Democratic, Red is GOP:
It is WESTERN WASHINGTON that went for Obama in 2012, and EASTERN WASHINGTON that went for Romney??
Here is how each house seat went:

And I was born and raised there, spent the first 40 years of my life in Puget Sound.
So, you might want to check your sources again, unless something has drastically changed in the last few years.
Where were you hoping to move to, exactly?

And applaud when they do things like this.
It's hard to imagine a bigger douchebag than LePage in Maine, yet he is re-elected.

(3,687 posts)I have Republican friends who actually say (out loud) like to see people not doing as well as them because it makes them "feel better" about themselves.
Think of the level of brain-washing involved in poor people STILL supporting this! This is why you can't get through to them. It's like attempting to de-program a religious cult member. It requires concentrated TIME, that you dont' have a a conversation of a few minutes.
Ideology is easier than thinking.

CWN assumes however all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website even those based on real people are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any persons, living, dead, or undead is purely a miracle.

A made up story that Val Kilmer has AIDS? Hilarious.

(35,015 posts)He'd like to kill the poor if he could get away with it. He would have been an enthusiastic cheerleader for Hitler's attempt at ethnic cleansing; he's repacked it as poor people cleansing. I wonder how he would determine who would live or die, how much a person would need to make to not die.

(13,617 posts)douche. Still bitter after decades from having his business machine company go under. Wouldn't have occurred to him to expand and diversify into computers! LOL He freakin' hated computers and was trained like a parrot, knowing only enough to just get by when he had to use one.
I actually asked him if his brother "Butch" got that nickname from Larry Craig? That pissed him off! I also once thought I had a high school kid at a school in a small Idaho town talked into asking "Butch" that question but he chickened out. Too bad, it would have been funny.

(43,191 posts)If so, wow. Makes Romney's 47 percent quote look like child's play.
But is anyone else reporting this?
On edit: Looks like this website is of the World Weekly News variety. So nothing to see here. I'm sure Governor Otter can give us some real quotes soon enough.

Followers of Jesus are few and far between among Republicans, while among Democrats, they're the norm. Even when they call themselves atheists.
