Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) sent mixed signals on his White House aspirations Thursday.
The conservative firebrand first told The Hill that he might run for president in 2016.
Gohmert indicated he might launch an exploratory committee for president when asked whether he would support Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) White House bid.
"Ted is a good friend and would be an outstanding President; however, I haven't ruled out an exploratory committee myself," Gohmert said in a statement emailed to The Hill from a spokesperson.
One of Gohmert's aides suggested that Gohmert was probably kidding, and used his lack of hair as a reason that he would not run.
But in my opinion that is blatant bald-ism. And we will not stand for that kind of discrimination in this day and age.
Take moment here, close your eyes. and just imagine a Republican 2016 lineup that included Ben Carson, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and freaking Louis Gohmert.
Freaking Louie Gohmert!
It is enough to make this blogger froth at the mouth in anticipation.
You throw in a Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann and I would not even be able to get pants on over my ginormous political blogging boner.
If late night comedians were smart they would pool their resources and start a "Draft Louis Gohmert for 2016" SuperPAC. I know I would probably donate.
Not running...

Gohmert is quite possibly the stupidest man alive.
ReplyDeleteCertainly the lowest IQ in Congress. Winner and still champ!
DeleteRun, Louie, run!!! LMAO
He won't step in. With Gohmert not aboard the clown car there will be less mirth. Damn!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of "step in" ... Watch out, don't step in that Gohmert Pile! It is really hard to get that #hit off your shoes!!
Delete[No offense meant to the great Jim Nabors...]
Give me the "Cruz-Gohmert 2016" Dream Team!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Donald Trump.
ReplyDeleteWell, everyone forgets Donald Trump, as it should be.
But in terms of a line-up, you can forget the Joker.
How many cabooses can fit on one clown car??????
DeleteI never thought the GOP Klown Kar could be any crazier than it was before the 2012 election. At some point in time, someone will re-invent the Republican Party so that it has at least ten sane members. We may have to wait several generations for that to come; this lunacy has to play itself out, I fear.

ReplyDeleteHe was for it before he was against it...
How can the American right-wing electorate see this miss-mash mess of infantile, ignorant men thinking they would be good as President (!) as anything but a JOKE!!
ReplyDeleteThat they don't is to my everlasting embarrassment as an American ex-pat. ...and it is just getting worse with every passing day.
I hang my head in fear & sadness at how dumb America has become and what the fuck it would do to human rights in America & around the world under their "Christian" "leadership"
-- if, and it is indeed possible, any of them is fraudulently voted into office (through now widespread gerrymandering, voter suppression, electronic ballot box rigging, another hanging-chad Supreme Court fiasco, etc.).
Hillary is not invincible health wise or popular enough to ignite young voters like Obama did or a fresh face with new ideas without heavy monied-connections baggage...
Where is the next Obama? for that is what the Democrats need to get out the vote heavily enough to fight the voting problems above.
You said exactly what I was thinking, thank you Barbara!

Who's to know how things would have been for Sarah if she hadn't accepted McCain's VP offer.
.
One thing we do know today is that Sarah definitely has moved the needle of our political compass to the RIGHT.
.
Case in point: Even as the so-called conservatives pundits continue to mock her there's no politician in the GOP, especially during election cycle, would dare come out in the open to criticize her. For them to do so is a political suicide. They know that her FB postings can be lethal to their career.
.
VIVA SARAH !
------------------------------------------------
Suicide?! Because the HOO HAH harridan sits on her imaginary throne and makes kingmakers? Yeah, RIGHT.
Just biding my time to see just exactly what her role in the Cruz campaign is, the MOH quickie wedding, I'll bet it's all intertwined. There no coincidences in their world.
Barbara, I totally agree 100%
ReplyDeleteDear Louie,
ReplyDeleteBetter start wearing a hat when going out in the sun to keep the remainder of your brain from being totally fried.
Yeah, Louie, the tin foil one baked your brain in the Texas heat.
DeleteIn my best Jim Neighbors voice. "Louie Gohmert, for President? Why Gooooolllllllllyyyyyyyyy! "Oh, Louie, you're nothing but a tease. Make sure you ask Sarah for some help connecting to the common folk. She could wear the wonder knockers, flag high heels, and pink and green camo, those pink and green forests are where the majority of rwnj voters live. .
