Nice to see our Congress working on the important problems of the country.
This person demonstrated that he is not fit to hold his post. There is no fact here - there is no attempt at logic or reason. I don't care which party he calls home - if I were in his district I would vote against him on principle.
I just looked up Thadeus McCotter and he's a real Republican winner, Fred...
From July 2 to September 21, 2011, he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president in the 2012 election. After quitting his presidential campaign he decided to run again for his seat in Congress, but he failed to qualify for the 2012 Republican primary in his congressional district after massive fraud resulted in the rejection of approximately 85% of his petition signatures as invalid.
A month later, on July 5, The Detroit News reported that McCotter had spent much of the time since his presidential campaign failed writing a television pilot script for a comedy/variety show starring himself, to be called Bumper Sticker: Made on MoTown. It featured characters with the same nicknames he used for members of his staff and a guest appearance by conservative commentator S.E. Cupp. "They take pot shots about McCotter's ill-fated bid for the White House while spewing banter about drinking, sex, race, flatulence, puking and women's anatomy," the newspaper wrote.
The staffer who provided the News with a copy of the teleplay said McCotter had focused on writing the script at the expense of serving his constituents. McCotter said he had only written it at home, in his garage, and it was just a way of dealing with the failure of his presidential run. He said it was inspired by the Martin Mull series Fernwood 2 Night and called it "cathartic ... deliberately designed to be a train wreck." He had hoped that a conservative media production company might pick it up after he left Congress.
On July 6, 2012, McCotter resigned from the House amid the probe into voter fraud.
