Congressman Who Invited Ted Nugent to SOTU Ordered to Take Down ‘Obama Failometer’
Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman has been ordered to take down the 10-foot-long billboard “Obama Failometer” he hung in the Cannon House Office Building hallway. Stockman doesn’t seem to understand government very well, because his fail meter is aimed at criticizing Obama for a failure to create jobs. In fact, all of Obama’s jobs bills have been killed by the very body Stockman is a part of — the House of Representatives.
Stockman’s billboard hints at the new Republican strategy for getting minority voters to ignore the Republicans’ hostility toward them, by trying to stir up minority resentment against the President for the Republicans’ failure to address jobs.
Stockman issued a statement defending his billboard, “Washington needs more free speech. Millions of Americans are waiting for Obama to reverse his course and create jobs. The Obama Failometer is an objective, mathematical measure of Obama’s failure to create jobs. It is an important tool to focus attention on black and Hispanic unemployment and spur discourse on actions that create jobs for everyone.”
The House leaders were not fans (not helping the GOP rebranding effort, no doubt) and wanted Stockman to take the billboard down, as it violates the rules of the House Office Building Commission regarding displays in the hallways. It’s unclear who gave the official order to Stockman.
Stockman grew up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (Romney’s hometown) but spent some time as a homeless person until he found religion. Stockman is bringing Ted Nugent, a draft-dodger who threatened the President, to the State of the Union address as a statement against gun safety legislation. Stockman claims to be a born-again Christian. He credits “Gun Owners of America and Citizens United” with getting him elected. Stockman claims the the Tea Party and evangelicals as his Texas base.

Who in their right state of mind; votes for and allows this type of a “politician” to be given a position of power in our Govt. today is beyond my comprehension. It must be the part of the home schooled, uneducated, brain-washed, God-fearing, all white, right-wing, “Christian”, white-sheet wearing, cross burning, gun carrying , masses that follow only Fox, Rush, and Glen to get their news. And we cant forget the “Elite” ( 2%) who fund and support all this shit plus their inbred-spawn who have been brain-washed from birth that they should be our masters. It was the Republican party members who voted this guy into office so it must stand to reason that the entire Republican party is to blame for this. And since they appear to match all of the descriptions I previously mentioned we can put the blame right on them. What a pathetic and scary bunch people they are. Don’t trust any of them. In my opinion.

Of coarse; its more cost effective for these cheap slave wage paying corporate bastards to get this kind of talent that way. But the amount of massive inbreeding that has infected many of the gene pools of these elite (the 2%) plus their constant brain washing from birth to present day that they must be the chosen ones to lead and rule over us, the peasants of this country has doomed them; because the guy they got elected and fully support is just as bat-shit crazy as they are. They got exactly what they paid for and wanted; a moron who believes exactly what they do and will do everything that they tell him to do. Just like Bush and many more. In my opinion. They got what they paid for; its obvious. The question is: Do we the people want this elected official of the elite to stay in power.

Is it possible for the people to ‘impeach’ members of congress that are not only ignorant of how the government works, but ignorant of their part in the government. I would ask who votes for these people, but the right question is why do people vote for these people. Are they ‘low informed and fox news watchers” or are they blinded by racism?

There is no recall process for members of Congress. Each chamber may expel one of its own by a 2/3 vote. On the topic at hand I’m pretty sure we have added jobs every quarter since Obama took office.

So this is Stockman’s buddy.
Quote from Ted Nugent: Ted Nugent Interview ….1977 published in High Times Magazine
So I got my notice to be in the draft. So you thing I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play Army? Give me a break! I was busy doin’ it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common cur, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the Army. Beats the poop out of scuffin’ around in the gutters. “ But I wasn’t a gutter dog. I was a hard workin’ motherfucker in rock and roll musician.
I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettn’ kinky, matted up. The two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touch-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. Poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.
See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workiin’ dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I’m gonna play their own game and destroy em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and piss.
In two separate interviews one with Creem Magizine and one with High Times Magazine, Nugent stated he had in fact taken crystal meth prior to his draft physical.
Nugent’s Selective Service classification record was first 1-Y, (this is not a student deferment) which denoted persons qualified for service only in time of war or national emergency who has exhibited medical conditions that were limiting but not disabling. In 1971, Nugent was reclassified as 4-F, Unsuitable for service.
In a 1998 episode of VH1′s Behind The Music, Ted Nugent admitted to being a serial pedophile. VH1 politely phrased this as, “his weakness for young women.”
