Hoo boy! . . .
Remember this clown that The Gadfly posted about awhile back? You know - the Idaho Tea Party asshole who was bitching and moaning about the Affordable Care Act being government intrusion into his life and calling for the dismantling of ALL government social programs, only to have it revealed that he had 10 piglet children suckling off of the nanny state's teat in the form of taxpayer funded Medicaid health insurance?
Well, true to form, this fine fellow is now angling to collect a tax payer funded salary to go along with his Medicaid mothered offspring:
A Tea Party candidate for Idaho's House of Representatives defended himself against allegations of hypocrisy following an NBC News article in which he admitted to signing his entire family up for Medicaid while running on a platform that calls for the dismantling of all government programs.
"I don’t think that the government should be involved in health care or health insurance," Greg Collett, 41, of Caldwell told NBC News earlier this month.http://gawker.com/tea-party-republican-defends-being-on-medicaid-while-op-1446552792?utm_campaign=socialflow_gawker_facebook&utm_source=gawker_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
Oh but that isn't the richest part of the story. Get a load of this guy's pretzel-logic justification for taking that for himself which he would gladly deny others:
In a lengthy response to all the naysayers, Collett attempted to defend his hypocrisy, but made it so much worse:
"Let me set the record straight. Yes, I participate in government programs of which I adamantly oppose. Many of them, actually. Am I a hypocrite for participating in programs that I oppose? If it was that simple, and if participation demonstrated support, then of course. But, my reason for participation in government programs often is not directly related to that issue in and of itself, and it certainly does not demonstrate support. For instance, I participate in government programs in order to stay out of the courts, or jail, so that I can take care of my family; other things I do to avoid fines or for other financial reasons; and some are simply because it is the only practical choice. With each situation, I have to evaluate the consequences of participating or not participating."
Yep - you set the record straight pal. The Gadfly sure is grateful for the clarification.
Fucking Lol! Can you truly believe that brazen bullshit dear readers?
And you want to know what the even more depressing, still to come part of this story is folks? This gutless worm turd masquerading as a man will win his election.
Why? . . . . . . . . . FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sigh . . . . . .
