Guinta consultant: "laws don't apply to anyone but members of Congress"

by: Peter Sullivan

Tue Mar 30, 2010 at 15:26:46 PM EDT


(So much for a nation of laws. - promoted by Dean Barker)

Andrew Manuse is a member of the Free State Project, a former newspaper reporter, and, most recently, a consultant for the Guinta for Congress campaign.

Manuse maintains his own website. On it, he recently posted this charming little bon mot:

"Until further notice, state and federal laws don't apply to anyone but members of Congress and state legislatures".

http://www.manuse.com/posts/252

This guy has been retained by Guinta's campaign to help organize the campaign's town hall meetings. He has also sent out several pro-Guinta messages on the campaign's email list.

Since nobody involved with the campaign has yet denounced the actions of the fringe dwellers of the tea party movement, I think it's fair to ask whether Guinta and Mike Biundo approve of this sort of off the wall nonsense.

"We the people" (0.00 / 0)
...is a phrase that is only properly used by public institutions led by the elected representatives of the people.  Appropriate for the Constitution, not for a protest sign, no matter what your position is.

"Act as if ye have faith and faith shall be given to you." -Aaron Sorkin


he seems (0.00 / 0)
to have modified his original post. Now it's "satire."  

It's the "buyer beware" mentality that has infected (0.00 / 0)
politics where it means, "if people are so stupid as to believe what we say, it's their own fault, if we lie."

That's the essence of the new "objectivity."  The moral value of an act is determined by who swallows it.

Or, to put it another way, if you're a masochist, then the sadist is doing you a favor and a terrorist is asking to be tortured.  See?
