Planned Parenthood Opponent Goes Down Hard
Ted Yoho Wins: Cliff Stearns Concedes Florida GOP Primary

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Twelve-term Florida Congressman Cliff Stearns has conceded a tight Republican primary to a veterinarian with scant political experience.

Stearns conceded Wednesday to Ted Yoho, who in a stunning upset won by slightly more than 800 votes – about 1 percentage point.

Stearns had been a national Republican favorite after spearheading criticism of the Obama administration's energy program and its funding of Planned Parenthood.

But Yoho criticized Stearns for being in office too long and pledged that he would leave the House after eight years. He ran a television ad where actors dressed as politicians in suits ate from a trough alongside pigs and threw mud at each other.

District 3 covers the Gainesville area and other parts of north-central Florida.

Gosh, I guess "bat-sh*t-crazy" isn't going over too well as a platform this year...

So Bill, that is your response to everything, go into a Joe Biden diatribe. Since you keep bringing him up, let's compare him to your favorite VP pick (posted in another thread):

Ryan:
Drove the weinermobile
Passed two bills, one renaming a post office, the other lowering the excise taxes slightly on arrows. The last legislation that he passed was in 2006.

Wow!

Biden:
public defender
private attorney
property manager
Raised two young sons as a single parent after the death of his wife
passed 456 bills, including anti-terrorist, crime preventiion, authored almost every federal crime bill in the last 15 years, anti-steriods act, Violence against Women Act, crimes against children, bill to protect veterans assistance funding, bills to protect military personnel benefits, and on and on.

Biden has been a leader of the congressional effort to end genocide in Darfur.
In the late 1990s, Biden led the effort in the Senate to bring Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic into NATO and to pass the Chemical Weapons Treaty.
Biden has been instrumental in crafting almost every major piece of crime legislation over the past two decades. His Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 put more than 100,000 police officers on America's streets and has been credited with bringing crime rates down to the lowest point in a generation.
In 1996, Biden authored legislation to create a national registry of sex offenders, which tracks people convicted of sex crimes involving violence or committed against minors.
Biden authored and passed the landmark Violence Against Women Act, the strongest legislation to date that criminalizes domestic violence and holds batterers accountable.
Biden was a strong supporter of the Family and Medical Leave Act, cracked down on deadbeat dads, and has been a consistent champion for equal pay.
Biden was one of the first to introduce legislation to address global warming and he co-sponsored the most aggressive pieces of climate change legislation in the U.S. Senate.
Biden is a champion on the issue of making college more affordable by using the tax code to reduce costs.
Biden was successful in passing a provision that prevents budget cuts to military facilities while the nation is at war, an effort that shored up one of his key priorities -- top-notch medical treatment for all veterans in a fully-funded VA health care system. His son is served a tour of duty in Iraq as a member of the Delaware National Guard.

As chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee he has worked on every piece of foreign legislation in the past decade, has visited every major country, met most major leaders.

Ryan's foreign relations experience - well he drove the weinermobile.

You can't identify the clown shoes he's weaing? But seriously, you are actually trying to make that crazy flake look good? You know every time he opens his yap, Obama has to be praying that nothing stupid comes out. Joe may have had a brain at some point in his life, but it's all mush now
