Ken Buck, Colorado Tea Party Candidate, Apologizes for 'Birther' Swipe

Ken Buck, a Republican Senate hopeful in Colorado, is apologizing for his crude dismissal of Tea Party members questioning whether President Obama was born in the United States as "dumb---es."

Last month Buck was caught on an audio recording muttering, "Will you tell those dumb---es at the Tea Party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I'm on the camera?" The recording was made without Buck's permission by a Democratic operative at a campaign event, The Denver Post reported.

So-called "birthers" question the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate, despite repeated confirmations by Hawaiian officials that it is legitimate.

Buck, who has positioned himself as the Tea Party candidate, said Sunday he regretted the negative language, but he stuck by his opinion that birthers distract from bigger campaign issues such as the national debt.

"I'm not suggesting the language was appropriate," Buck told the Post. "But after 16 months of being on the campaign trail, I was tired and frustrated that I can't get that message through that we are going to go off a cliff if we don't start dealing with this debt."

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS PIECE OF NEWS


It's becoming very clear that the Republican Party has decided on their platform for elections 2010 through 2012.
Will it be a constructive and healing platform for America and the American people built on a strong base of "we have changed and we want to join hands and heal America" ?

NOPE the GOP has decided that their contenders will run in a Kleenex clutching teary eyed Glenn Beck mode with each candidate calling the press together to issue their apology for whatever gaffe they made the day before.

This method of campaigning has an upside in that the Party of No will be getting plenty of media attention and exposure pretty much 24/7 since every time they open their mouth foolish words spill from their lips. You just can't buy that kind of advertising and it comes free for the Republican candidates seeing as they excel at this kind of thing.

We've seen Vitter, Bachmann, Angle, that EBay broad out in California and even Palin who is running for nothing stand up and swallowing back tears say the new GOP catch phrase and slogan "I'M SORRY"

Now here comes yet another Republican candidate breaking out with his own aria of "I'M SORRY."

So let's take a listen to yet another Republican honing the new platform to a knife's edge sharpness and proving that their motto is rock solid because they are truly the "Republican The Party of Sorry"
