From Connecticut RINO to Georgia Dhimmi with Love
Posted by The MaryHunter at December 21, 2009 7:40 AM
The last time we heard about Chris "The Sandwichmaker" Dodd's potential Republican competition for a Connecticut US Senate seat, we learned that former Rep. Rob Simmons was a co-sponsor of Two of Nancy Pelosi's favorite bills: Cap and Trade and Card Check. Of course, he did the obligate public 180, admitted his transgressions, and begged for mercy from potential voters. But now we learn that Simmons has been hiding from us a special BFF: Jimmy "The Dhimmi" Carter.
You see, while serving as a CT-RINO representative in the House during 2005, Simmons revealed his deep man-crush for the former peanut farmer and infamous America-hater through a love letter written on congressional letterhead.
Ready your barf-bags, gang (or your hankies, you leftie trolls):
In the letter, dated Sept. 22, 2005, Mr. Simmons tells Mr. Carter that he and his wife, Heidi, were proud to vote for him. "We felt you had the courage of your convictions, and we were very pleased when you won," Mr. Simmons said. He then thanks the former president for opposing the closure of Connecticut's Naval Submarine Base New London, saying that it was "an extraordinary act of patriotism."
"I can only say, Mr. President, that the courage, character and integrity you has shown over the many years of your extraordinary career makes us all proud to have voted for you so many years ago, and makes us proud to be Americans," the letter concludes. "And when we think back to Admiral Hymen Rickover's question to you, 'Why not the best?' we all answer with enthusiasm and conviction, 'Jimmy Carter is the best.' "
In his own handwriting near his signature at the bottom of the letter, Mr. Simmons added, "Thanks so much in all you have done."
The Simmons campaign staffers are doing their darndest to cover up the relationship:
"Rob's praise was a specific reaction to his critical assistance with saving the sub base, and in no way, shape or form was an endorsement of any of Jimmy Carter's antics," a statement posted by the Simmons campaign on Sunday said.
Uh, yearight. Naturally, Simmons' competition in the Republican primary, Linda McMahon, is having a field day with this love letter gone astray.
"If Rob Simmons' support for card check, cap and trade and partial-birth abortion doesn't give conservatives pause, his effusive praise for Jimmy Carter certainly should," Ed Patru, a spokesman for the McMahon campaign, told The Washington Times. "Simmons must be the only Republican in the country who both admits to having voted for Carter and is actually proud of it to this day."
Everyone out there who is proud of having voted for Dhimmi Carter, raise your mouses.
