Got any gaffes from any Independent candidates?
Of course NOT there aren't any, running as an Independent is a huge waste of money and resources. The Liberal Media machine can either choose to take quips out of context, or choose to provide a 100% black out, misrepresent your issues, with out ever once interviewing you.
Or the new favorite way to dispatch scary Independent candidates is to just coopt them into one of the two evil parties, where their likely voter base wont be able to actually nominate them for that Party.

Charlie Fuqua (another AK state rep)-- "(there is) no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States"

The problem is that those aren't gaffes. Those are their beliefs. Other than Akin, none of those candidates are embarrassed by their remarks--they embrace them!

None of those are out of context. One is in the guy's book. Those are their beliefs.
Todd Akin (running for US Senate)-- "First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down"
Paul Broun (US Rep from Georgia)-- " All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell"
Jon Hubbard (AK state rep)-- "the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise."
Charlie Fuqua (another AK state rep)-- "(there is) no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States"
When you punch the R ticket, just make sure you understand who you are electing. These are your party members.
