Louie Gohmert Forms PAC To Fight 'War Against Conservatives'

[DonViejo]

SAHIL KAPUR – FEBRUARY 19, 2014, 10:01 AM EST

Überconservative Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is launching a new political action committee to fight back against a "war against conservatives" waged by "the mainstream" and abetted at times by the Republican establishment, he told the Daily Caller.

GOH Conservative PAC, as it's reportedly called, will be modeled on the Jim DeMint-founded Senate Conservatives Fund, which often angers GOP leaders by whipping up the tea party base against their initiatives.

The congressman told the conservative media outlet that the PAC "defends conservative Republicans from the attacks that come from the mainstream," lamenting that in some races, "we've had leadership come and play and there was no counterbalance. So I'm going to do something about it."

"There's a war against the tea party. There's a war against conservatives, we're told," he added. "If somebody declares war on me I'm not just going to lie down and take it. I’m going to fight."

1. Dryer lint has 25 IQ points on Gohmert.

How did he get into and pass law school? How did Gohmert pass the bar
and become a sitting judge? He is dumber then a bag of lug nuts.

A war on conservatives???? Look @ the Sunday morning news shows.
You can go across the country and hear non stop "right wing hate talk."

Ohio voted for Obama and Sen. Brown won his race by 7 points but
only 4 of our 16 House members are democratic.

4. Dryer lint?

6. yes dryer lint

[Beacool]

7. Ewwww!!!!!!

12. What do you have against dryer lint?

What has it ever done to you?

2. Louie, Louie. Ooh Louie

Me gotta go.

3. I doubt that Louie is going to be able to raise a significant amount

Glenn Beck approached Louie about running against Cornyn and Louie passed because he did not think that he could raise sufficient funds to be competitive. I doubt that Louie will be able to raise significant funds. The major GOP donors are going to run away from Louie

5. I vote to forbid TX from sending anyone else to DC.

No more Bushes, Ted Cruz and Gohmert.

Shame on you, Texas!!!

8. Oh, right

God forbid that we should ever send people like Barbara Jordan, the Castro brothers or Cecile Richards to Washington......

[Beacool]

10. Well, those are the exceptions.

[DFW]

11. Over three million of us "exceptions" voted against Willard in 2012

There are plenty of decent "exceptions" in Texas, even if it's PC these days to ignore them.

Sort of like when Bill Maher notes with satisfaction that when he plays Birmingham, Alabama, it's a sellout every time.

13. Calm down, my initial post was a joke.

Of course there are good people in TX, it's a huge state.

15. Too used to people wanting us all to drop into the Gulf and drown, sorry

I just figured it was #5,673 this month instead of reading with depth!

[Beacool]

17. That's OK.

[DFW]

9. The irony of this is that Gohmert is no conservative

He seeks to conserve nothing. He is just another insecure right wing fanatic control freak.

He wouldn't know a conservative if he ran one over with his car in broad daylight.

He hijacks the label for political convenience and conformity, but that's like wading knee-deep into the sea and claiming you're a fish.

14. It's a trait that I think should be called conservative homogeneity

A liberal?
"A liberal"

A socialist?
"A socialist"

A communist?
"A communist"

An anarchist?
"An anarchist"

But then we get to the other side and what they say about themselves:

Guys like George Will?
"A conservative"

John McCain or Mitt Romney?
"Conservatives"

Ted Nugent and his fans?
"Conservatives"

Tea Parties?
"Conservatives" (Even though they sometimes don't consider other Republicans to be conservative enough)

Remember when the DHS made that report about right wing extremists and every conservative thought they were the ones being targeted? I think that's the reason why. As long as you have the mantle of 'conservative' in the eyes of other conservatives, you can't be extreme, crazy, or not credible to them, hence they give us people like Ted Nugent, Ann Coulter, David Barton, etc.

16. Like "ich bin ein Berliner" vs. "ich bin Berliner"

I'm "conservative," but I sure as hell am not "a conservative," at least not by their definition.

18. Translation " I need another way to launder money into my accounts"

These scammers are all the same.
