http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blog...called-street-walker-local-gop-001954765.html A former Miss America winner who is now a GOP candidate for Congress was called a string of profane names today, including "street walker," "love child" and "Miss Queen. " Her attacker? A local Republican Party chairman in central Illinois. Erika Harold, the 2003 winner of the Miss America contest, announced two weeks ago that she was running from Illinois' 13th District. Her decision to challenge Rep. Rodney Davis in the Republican primary has divided some local party members and prompted the name-calling. A full account of the episode first appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Harold, a 33-year-old graduate of Harvard Law School, is black. The criticism against her - from Jim Allen, chairman of the Montgomery County Republican Party - carried strong racist overtones. He launched his criticism in a letter today to Republican News Watch, a local conservative news site. He derided her Miss America platform of advocating for abstinence and against school bullying. "The little queen touts her abstinence, and she won the crown because she got bullied in school - boohoo, kids are cruel, life sucks and you move on," Allen wrote. "Now, Miss Queen is being used like a street walker, and her pimps are the DEMOCRAT PARTY and RINO REPUBLICANS." He went on to call her "the love child of the DNC." The editor of Republican News Watch, Doug Ibendahl, said the comments were "outrageous" and underscored "why we as Republicans fail to gain any respect from minority voters. "If officials in my party fail to understand how destructive it is to attack an impressive person like Erika Harold merely because she dares to challenge the good old boys, the GOP will remain a losing party for decades," Ibendahl wrote. "This stay-in-the-back-of-the-bus mentality destroys any hope the Republican Party has for regaining momentum in future elections." Allen did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Davis, 43, was elected to Congress last fall by a slim margin. His district runs across central Illinois, from Champaign to the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis. =========================================================== all women should be alarmed about these GOP idiots. not all GOPs are idiots but the idiots are the most vocal
You have some stunning looking politicians over there This is ours Here's one of Teresa May dressed like Pierrot the clown..
I bet Miss America is hands down a Genius compared to Teresa May, what are you trying to say Morning Star? That the goodlooking women are usually not smart? Lol talk about casting aspirations, pfffttt
Never implied that. I'm speaking on not exercising the art of compromise to make the country better and some of their political positions are just downright silly and juvenile. And we're talking Congress as a whole...whom many are of ivy league educated backgrounds. As for Erika Harold, she may have a Harvard Juris Doctorate, but even with that, no amount of ivy league education can amount to exercising common sense, especially when she stated that condoms are lies and promoting abstinence only education. There are some smart ones, and then you have those you question on their intellectual honesty.
Bug, do you think Ms.May is going to be a Maggie Thatcher? She does not have the votes for MP on those looks and attitude.
No Soulthinker, she is not the next Margarite Thatcher the womans a lightweight and thats putting it nicely.
Yep, I was right the woman has run my country into the ground. Not fit to be prime minister (lightweight)!and never was. When I posted this she was Home Secretary and the mess she made during that time has come to light.
Ms.May is almost worse than The Iron Lady Thatcher. She can't get things sorted. Her acts are getting more daft.
The British Prime Minister is a hostage to right wing members of her Conservative party allied to Unionists in N Ireland.
