Louie Gohmert: Obama won’t ‘defend women’ from ‘hundreds of thousands’ of immigrant rapists

By David Edwards

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert (R) asserted this week that the crisis of women and children refugees seeking protection inside U.S. borders was so serious that it put “our continued existence at risk.”

During a speech on the House floor on Tuesday, the Texas congressman renewed his called for border states to invoke their rights under the 10th Amendment, and to declare war against an “mass invasion” of refugees.

“Our continued existence is at risk with what’s going on at the southern border,” Gohmert explained, adding that the Obama administration’s Department of Homeland Security was complicit because it had “actually assisted the criminal conspiracy in achieving its illegal goals” by not enforcing the law.

According to the Tea Party-backed Republican, “criminal aliens” had committed 2,993 homicides in the past six years.

Shame on me. Just shame on me.

And now here comes Todd Akin to tell us the only legitimate rape is rape by a central American immigrant.

These guys don't stop. They just don't stop.

I have a tv for watching DVD's and to let the kids play video games. But I don't bother with anything else, keeps the blood pressure down. It is really shocking when I travel and I see what crap is on CNN and Fox nowadays.

is the thinking in team GOP.

My favorite are the biblical ones who claim Jesus would be against helping poor refugees as if it wasn't his thing. Jesus was also against healing the sick unless they paid up first. Since Jesus has no tolerance for "takers" and wants you to be wealthy because you deserve it.

If Democrats were a competent and organized political party, they would turn out the Latino and other minority vote in a big way in many competitive districts this election. This could make a difference in many parts of the south and west.
