Thu Sep 18, 2014 at 01:57 PM PDT GOP congressional candidate endorses going to war with Mexico over undocumented immigrants by HunterFollow The latest candidate to sign up for the hard-fought Americas Dumbest Congressman competition is Republican Mark Walker, whos running for North Carolinas deep-red 6th Congressional district. Walker is the one who previously vowed that he would impeach Barack Obama, if given the chance, and is generally of the Michele Bachmann you must be this paranoid to enter Congress wing of the party, worried about Sharia law and/or Obama declaring martial law and/or whatever else you got. You know, a tea partier. But I dont think that prepared any of us for the revelation that Mark Walkers answer to undocumented immigrants is to go laser or blitz somebody in Mexico, as he told a local Rockingham County tea party group called Will of the People on June 26th of this year. Ye Gods, man: Question: Mr Walker, I want to ask you how you feel about military, using the military to secure our southern border? I know a lot of people holler Posse Comitatus, thats when the military out enforcing local laws, guarding the border is not the same thing. And weve got other people, other countries going, Why cant we guard our own? Walker: Well, my first answer for that is we need to utilize the National Guard as much as we can. But, I will tell you If you have foreigners who are sneaking in with drug cartels to me that is a national threat and if we got to go laser or blitz somebody with a couple of fighter jets for a little while to make our point, I dont have a problem with that either. So yea, whatever you need to do. Moderator: I hope you wouldnt have any qualms about starting up a little war with Mexico. Walker: Well, we did it before, if we need to do it again, I dont have a qualm about it. I realize our standards for who should be in Congress these days have been thoroughly dismantled by the likes of Bachmann, Steve Stockman and Louie Gohmert, but shouldnt a theoretical national leader have just a few qualms about going to war with Mexico in order to prove a rather nebulous not-sure? Just a wee bit of qualms? (And what does it mean to go laser somebody? Will that make it into the congressional resolution, that the Congress of the United States hereby demands we go laser someone? Either I am not hep to modern tea party lingo or this man is a bonafide imbecile.) All right, so theres your latest entry in the campaign to see which Americans among us have the least apparent intellectual capability to make even basic decisions about the fate of the country. I know your parents probably told you that anyone in America could grow up to be a member of Congress, Mr. Walker, but they ought to have also mentioned that not anyone in America necessarily should. Really, I cant underscore that part enough.
