GOP Rep. Inglis Tells CNN About Crazy Right-Wingers Who Ousted Him (VIDEO)
Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC), who lost his primary on June 22 by a whopping 71%-29% margin, appeared on CNN this afternoon to further discuss the forces that took him out of office: Crazy right-wing conspiracy theories, and his inability and refusal to go along with it.The problem with even marginally moderate Republicans like Inglis is they do not speak up and fight back against the insanity, racism, conspiracy theories and contempt for facts that permeate his party. Now it has come back to bite him in the a*s.
CNN host Rick Sanchez went over a recent piece on Inglis in Mother Jones, in which Inglis talked about the crazies that he would come across on the campaign trail.
Sanchez read from Inglis's recollection of a conversation with some voters: "'Bob, what don't you get? Barack Obama is a socialist, communist Marxist who wants to destroy the American economy so he can take over as dictator. Health care is part of that. And he wants to open up the Mexican border and turn [the US] into a Muslim nation.'"
Sanchez asked Inglis who these people were. And in response, Inglis conceded he might have done better politically had he humored them.

The Miami Herald reports today that Scott and his health care company are hiding details about nearly a dozen lawsuits against them, lawsuits which “portray the company, and sometimes Scott by extension, as a ruthless employer who discriminated or cut corners in pursuit of profit”:Scott is doing well in the polls. Conservatives do not care about Scotts criminal activity. Conservatives are still in love with that anti-American culture of corruption.
Just six days before Rick Scott announced his bid for governor, he was deposed in a case that alleged his healthcare company Solantic had broken Florida law by filing false medical licensing information with the state.
But what Scott said April 7 might never be known to the public.
Within a month, Solantic settled the 2-year-old case and signed a confidentiality agreement with Dr. P. Mark Glencross, who claimed his medical license was misused by the Jacksonville-based chain of walk-in clinics. …
