The more Christian and conservative the weirder. You can count on it.

OP: "Ha ha, no it doesn’t, many people in national politics are over-sexed amoral sociopaths with expense accounts and no end of therapy-worthy character defects."

It's enough to make you wonder whether this whole "nation-state" thing was a good idea after all. Well, me anyway.

The only reason tribal chiefs didn't have zipper problems is that they didn't have zippers.

I'm sorry those women can't see the obvious reality staring them in the face. The guy is a member of the "Grab 'Em by the P*ssy" party, after all

C'mon, Republicans: it's your duty to blame the wife. Mark Green is everything you aspire to be.

Mrs Green sure does seem, um, nice?

We need to return America to traditional family values.

Marriage is between a man and a woman, and his ex-wife, and his other ex-wife, and his hot daughter, and a porn star, and her lawyer. And maybe a political consultant.

(snark, maybe)

OK, I get it, the chances of winning the district are within the margin of error of zero. But "roadkill?" Really? We need people to be full of belief in a more perfect union to run against these assholes. If you have a specific problem with whomever the Dems are running, fine, I'm happy to hear all about them. I will laugh at them with you from my comfortable, private life. But we need Dems running in all these races, remember? We don't call women "cunts" here and we don't make prison race jokes. Maybe don't be so flippant about people making their own lives a public hell for your benefit, Legum.

Agreed. Also, "mistress"? 1950s, much?

And he cheated not because he's male, but because he's an asshole.

His choosing the Republican party -- what a coincidence!

Despite TN-4's Rep being a disgraced doctor that had affairs with patients, abused and threatened his wife, and talked mistresses into abortions on a regular basis. He maintains a high pro-life score and the people keep electing him. It's almost like they've drawn the maps so they can never lose. They won't care that Green traded in for a newer model as they say, hell they'll probably admire him for it.

They identify with him, as they do with Trump: lying, dishonest sadsacks obsessed by greed, proud of their ignorance, and in love with violence.

Right. Satan did it. Did we not recently learn that one of these assholes screwed a 13-year-old girl and blamed her Jezebel whorishness to deflect from his raper nature?

Once more a good Christian man led down the path to perdition by Demon Rum. John Barleycorn and the Temptations of Eve!

The men in TN are like, “daaaamn, bro! Get some, homie!” The women will blame the young woman, who used her feminine voodoo powers on the helpless conservative gentleman. Either way, he is blameless.

His approach is different, but I think Mr Green's lede image could get some traction in the current Punchable Face contest!
