Arizona Republican candidate and state lawmaker Pamela Gorman appears to be running for a position on a SWAT Team in this video where her skills with machines guns and pistols are highlighted.
She is heralded in the video as a “conservative Christian and a pretty fair shot.” Presumably, her opponent will now have to outdo her with an ad showing him blowing up bridges or piloting a B-52 bombing run. It used to be that politicians promised things like “a chicken in every pot.”
She is not alone. Check out Dr. Christina Jeffrey, candidate for US Congress (SC-4):
“Presumably, her opponent will now have to outdo her with an ad showing him blowing up bridges or piloting a B-52 bombing run.”
As she bills herself a “conservative Christian and a pretty fair shot”, I also expect either walking on water or turning Theodore Roosevelt Lake into wine.
No more half measures.
Go whole hog. Rise from the dead.
Nitwit.
At least answer the question, “What gun would Jesus use?”
Arizona 3rd District voters beware. I don’t know shit from shinola about weapons, firing rounds or MOA, but according to the video “Conservative Pamela Gordon is always right on target.”
Funny what target is she firing at and what are the results?
Sweet voice over, is this from the people who brought us the Dale Peterson ad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU7fhIO7DG0&feature=player_embedded
Is that how she intends to clean up congress?Just asking.
I guess she plans on taking back our country.
I have just one word for Pamela Gorman: whaddaneedeeut.
I wonder if Caribou Barbie is her idol.
Pam and Sarah sittin’ in a tree
Shootin’ all the wildlife that they see.
First came a wolf
Then came a moose
Then came a bear who’ll never reproduce.
Does she have roots in Texas?
Mike A.
And what “dark age” do you suppose she plans on taking our country back to?
I have no idea if this person is even slightly qualified to serve in Congress, but she does seem highly qualified to answer the question, “Who would Jesus shoot?” I am genuinely interested to hear her answer to that question.
(Also, it’s interesting that the commercial shows her firing away, but it never shows if she’s hitting anything. It looks like she’s just “popping some caps off” in a field, rather than practicing at a range. The shot that got me wondering specifically is the one of her blasting away with a handgun. A shooting instructor would be much better at judging this, but it looks like each shot is pretty far off from the preceding one…)
(While I’m tacking on additional random thoughts: It also just dawned on me that this would be an effective campaign ad if she were contesting an election in a super-max prison full off mafiosi, gang members and drug kingpins. Does that say anything about her district?)
Apparently being a fair shot makes you a good leader, which explains Gandhi’s popularity. This ad makes as much sense as if Bill Clinton had trotted out his Sax playing as qualifying him to be President.
I know beauty pageants have talent portions, but we’re not yet being that open about just what our elections really are.
Curiously there is also another video ready to roll of Mrs. Gorman’s prepared speech in the case of the federal Gov. ever taking away her guns:
If I lived in Arizona, I’d polish my shooting skills also. Those aren’t toys the Mexican gangs are toting.
It tells me she is a no BS politician. How refreshing.
Elaine, back to the days when we were all white, all Christian and possessed of the wisdom of the Founders. Of course, I have been unable to track down that particular epoch in any standard histories. Guess I’ll have to wait until Texas implements its new curriculum.
David, I just returned from an AZ vacation, and you are correct, besides the heat, the only other dangerous thing I encountered (besides crazified white guys wearing hand cannons on their hips) were the legions of M-16 carrying Mexican Gang members flowing through the streets North of Scottsdale, hundreds of miles from the Mexican border. Thank God every other white guy was packing or I would not have felt so safe?!? Good point, though. It does perplex me how a video of her shooting a variety of weapons proves to you that she is a “No Nonsense” politician, especially when the whole video makes no sense what so ever.
“It tells me she is a no BS politician. How refreshing.”
WTF! Shooting guns for a political ad IS BS!! The whole thing is BS. Seriously, shooting guns is not bulls**t? Why not just have her washing cars in a bikini? Now that would be refreshing, but still BS. Ugh.
Hot Dang! Now, that’s my kinda real woman and rated 100% by the NRA, to boot! YeeeeeeHaw
Uh, the only problem is that conservative christian part–but not to worry, nonsense can be unlearnt…
Arizona’s illegal immigrant population has increased by 70% over the past ten years. But while the rate of violent crime in AZ was 577.9 per 100,000, according to DHS, by 2008, it had dropped to 477 per 100,000. Ever since nativistic self-sympathy has been really pushed in politics and media, it’s triggered a massive gun purchasing spree across the country. But only in Arizona has nativism been deemed enough to overrule federal law.
Good dawg … pathetic.
Gunning for votes too, Christina Jeffrey held a, “Machine Gun Social?” Jeeez, I’m bummed! Missing out on a chance to win a semi-auto, AK-47 at the raffle, on June 5th.
Wonder what Mrs. Jeffrey’s NRA rating is? She is a conservative Christian, probably a fair shot as well?
Do Conservative Christian candidates for congress with high NRA ratings square up at the range against their political opponents? Letting their lead do the talking instead of shooting their mouths off.
There’s a lesson here.
Democrats need to decide if they are just going to continue to give votes away on the issue of firearms, or if they are actually going to embrace the concept of protecting constitutional liberties – even the ones they don’t like.
since she can’t whup it out and compare penises with her opponent she does the next best thing
Tacky. Unfortunate. Sad.
I have a question, in 1865 they pass a Guano Act that allowed the US to take over by friendly means any island in the south pacific. Has this act ever been repealed? If not can we ship these people to there to search for guano?
It appears that there time would be better spent.
Christians armed to the teeth. Fucking with the New World since 1492.
KF,
You should have gone into advertising.
Ginger: Dems cannot do that. Then they would have to give up their dearly desired goal for a totalitarian police-state.
That is too important for them.
Hey now, don’t be giving my jobs away.
I am a jealous Divine being.
I AM
The One that is I AM
Hey now, don’t be giving my jobs away.
I am a jealous Divine being.
I AM
================================================================
Ahhhh … The Word, The Law, The Love
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; (Exodus 20:5)
I note with interest that we were never shown the targets after she’d finished showing off.
By the way Gyges, I remember reading “Freedom in Exile” the Dalai Lamas autobiography. Apparently he is a pretty good shot and uses a BB gun to stop the bigger dicky birds from getting too greedy at the bird table in his garden.
Ginger,
You mean by doing things like allowing guns in national parks? The fact of the matter is, the reason you’ve seen such a strong push towards this sort of gesture by the right is because they’re having to go further and further out to be “the party that likes guns.”
Gyges:
No, the problem is when you are forced to evacuate for days or weeks from a hurricane or western fire and you load all your most precious belongings in your RV, you don’t want to be a criminal because you have your guns with you while you await your return.
Or you don’t want to get et by a bar. A thing more likely to occur in a national park than Manhattan.
I realize that white liberals think they own these natural territories and they should be able to make whatever stupid rules they wish, but their snobbish elitist arrogance still shouldn’t trump the Constitution.
Tootie,
To answer your severally missing my point:
So, because the Obama administration lifted the ban on guns in National parks, that means that white liberals think they own the land?
I would say that white liberals probably think that they own the land because by the very nature of national parks they, as well as every other citizen of the U.S., DO in fact own the land. Also by the very nature of our government, the Executive Branch does get to decisions about the land use.
Ain’t representative democracy grand?
Ahem,
Make that “severally” into a “severely.”
Oh, and there’s P-funk in the maggot thread.
Hmmm… If things like “leading troops into combat” and “going mano-a-mano with your enemy and shooting him dead” are important qualifications to many voters, given that John Kerry did exactly those things, did they vote for him?
Hey! Did someone clone Ma Barker? Just asking.
Just wait till these gals have PMS–Premenstrual Shootings!
