I disagree with just about everything that comes out of that man’s mouth.

Right, I would be voting against that guy if he were my direct kin but you know somehow it’s racists for liberals to be against people who are nuts. They pull the same crap everytime they actually have a racial minority conservative- YOU LIBERALS ARE RACIST FOR OPPOSING HIM. I didn’t see the results but I imagine most African American South Carolinians voted against him but then again I bet Loesch like pretty much every conservative I’ve seen thinks African Americans are too stupid to know what’s good for them.
