Louie, Louie, Lou-lie....what are we going to do about you?

RightWingWatch:

Speaking with Newsmax host Steve Malzberg yesterday about the influx of Central American children and families at the Southern border, Rep. Louie Gohmert implied that President Obama was orchestrating the crisis in order to recruit millions of people to cast fraudulent ballots for Democrats and seize Texas from Republican control.

Yes, and I guess that conspiracy reached so far that he put his head together with Dubya and said, hey, let's get this law passed so when I'm serving my second term we can have an immigration crisis, too!

Actually, it's all about Texas. And they are afraid. Very afraid.

“In the end, they have said that they want to turn Texas blue, they want to turn America blue,” he said. “And if you bring in hundreds of thousands or millions of people and give them the ability to vote and tell them — as Quico Canseco said, he had illegals in his district that were told, ‘If you want to keep getting the benefits, you have to vote, and President Obama’s lawyers are not going to allow them to ask for an ID, so go vote or you’re going to lose the benefits you’re getting now.’ That drives people to vote and it will ensure that Republicans don’t ever get elected again.”

Also, John Birch Society/Ron Paul crazy talk:

The Texas Republican also told Malzberg that the Central American refugees, combined with the end of the gold standard during the Nixon administration, will bankrupt the country.

Go, Goober. Keep it up and you'll marginalize Republicans for decades to come. Which is totally all right with me, of course.
