Meet Candice "Britt" Britton running against Lacy Clay in the Democratic Primary in Missouri District 01.



Like her Senatorial compatriot she is unheard of, has no prior political history, has no campaign funding and is bat-shit crazy. Not only that she is endorsed by far right extremists. What's even funnier is she thinks I am Doctor Who (all Irish people in England have their own personal Tardis).

Her most pressing issue for Missouri District 01, in a time of recession closing the borders and cutting the deficit.She he is a regular at the St Louis Tea Party (the one that vows to destroy the left amongst other things) and believes that they have great policy ideas that she can learn from.

Her support base, the Missouri Tea Party and the Mccain front group the PUMAs., one of the groups behind the now banned of Cafe Press "Pray for Obama" merchandise.

Here's Candice aka PUMARAIG in 2008

What is funny is Barry is half white and his brown color is Kenyan he is not a Afro American or Black. So my black brothers and sisters voted for a brown skined half white and half kenyan. He is as much white as he is black or brown. He is not one of them and soon they will feel betrayed because he will not give us Afro-American blacks what we want. And when he fails to be black enough we will turn on him and then we will say he ain’t black he is white. He is not one of us he brown and an uncle tom! So any one who disagees with Barry and did not vote for him can not be a racist he is half white. He is not Afro American or Black he is Kenyan and white!!

and more

You Barry voters can dish it out but you can’t take it. You do not want to know the truth! The One was selected not elected by the DNC and so called super deligates! Barry has a mandatory civil servant program ready to go. The Brown Shirts. Congressman Rangle as the bill ready to be voted on in the next congress. the truth hurts and you Barry supporters do not want to hear or seek the truth! Indoctornation that is Hitler got the youth to follow him. Putin in Russia has done the same thing in Russia he has pandered and fooled the youth and guess what the young Russians hate America. Research it educate yourselves! History will show you Puma eyes are open and we are not drinking the kool-aide! Hillary won the primary the DNC and Liberal elite Super Delegates selected Barry again he was not elected. 18 million votes Hillary was elected not selected.

Here is a link you can read. Lacy Clay is trying to shore up my black sisters and brothers vote. My words to them.

Clay’s presence — along with that of Normandy Mayor Patrick Green, University City Mayor Joe Adams and a number of pastors — was clearly aimed at revving up interest among low-income and minority voters, who as a group are less likely to turn out for local and non-presidential elections.

It does not take much on google to find her more from PUMACRAIG, aka Candice Britt Britton and who she is being endorsed by. One of those sites actually called for the death of Obama supporters, which is kind of where she thinks I must be Dr Who (more of that later). Another of the sites she has obtained support from is a hate site that wants to obtain Democratic donor lists so that they can harass them. She recently asked for those lists.


Her policy platforms make for interesting reading if you are a semi literate tea-bagger of if you can not quite get the Colbert Report (who she based her website on). This is why she is standing

I’m running for public office because I feel that our great country is headed towards a bad direction. I feel this way because of the following reasons:

A. Government spending is out of control.
B. Both parties are responsible for the huge Debt and Deficit.
C. Senators and Congresspersons have forgotten whom they work for, they no longer work for us. We the people.
D. Democrats and Republicans refuse to work together to set a good example for our children. The deliberate feud between the parties keeps this great Country and her people divided. Due to this, they are free to do as they please, such as, enact legislation the majority of the people are against.

I’m asking you to send me, Candice Britton to Washington D.C. I believe that we must set an example for our children. You don’t have to be a Millionaire, a Lawyer, a Doctor or have gone to an Ivy League College to run for public office to serve the citizens of this great Country.

Like my opponent, his father held the District 1 seat for years. When his father stepped down, my opponent acted as if it was his “birthright” to fill the seat and not a privilege. No other Democrats have run against him. It seems as if the seat belongs to him. Lets say, “NO!” to career politicians!

I’m running to state that, “No, you don’t own that seat! We the people own it!”

(err only slightly borrowed from Senator Bimbo Brown).

What kind of direction she wants the Country to go in is open to question.
Why Lacy Clay one of the finest Members of Congress, with a great Democratic history is a career politician is left open.

Her healthcare reform proposals are very literally opposition to the recently passed health care reforms simply, because, some old re-tread Republican proposals of "buying across state lines" and "tort reform" (she admittedly says she does not know what that means). She then goes on to support the Obama health care reforms just passed while calling for the abolition of medicaid. Which would for her be fine if she gets elected, she would no longer need it, as it stands now she is a recipient.

Her education policy is equally laughable

Div class="excerpt"]Education is a very complex area to legislate. I would get rid of “NO Child Left Behind.” I believe education should be left up to each State. Every State is different and the needs of children will be different. I believe that the Federal government should help fund education, but not mandate how each State and City teaches their children.

1. This woman is supposed to be a Democrat??

I'm not sure she's human!

Are there any polls giving an indication of her standing vs Lacy Clay's yet?

[TheBigotBasher]

2. None yet.

You really do have to watch her videos. No money for anything but giant fences across Mexico. Typical Rethug.

Does make wonder where her filing fee came from.

3. BB! I am so glad to see you!!

:hug:
And I see that you're STILL kicking PUMA ass!! :fistbump: I know you've been away for a while, but as you can see this site is in need of your posts now more than ever.

By the way, your missouri matters link is not working.

[TheBigotBasher]

4. Thanks for that Number23

The link in her quote is not (google cache has it) but the others do. This one is a real loon. I never even heard of her bust she decides to use me as an election issue and plaster my name and private details over the net.

I would not mind but Republican dirty tricks are Republican dirty tricks and I would hate to see Lacy go. He is one of the good guys.
