Victoria Jackson - Tea Party candidate in TN

[emilynghiem]

Victoria Jackson, former comedia with SNL, is running for a county seat in Tennessee, as an independent Tea Party conservative disappointed with the Republican Party.

This is wonderful to see this, for a conservative Christian like her -- who was weeping for American after Obama's re-election -- to come back and get involved directly in public service instead of depending on party leaders or government.

If all the Singlepayer activists got directly involved instead of relying on party politics, health reform could be set up per state without entangling federal money, jurisdiction or issues.

Victoria Jackson files for county seat in Tenn. - Houston Chronicle

THOMPSON STATION, Tenn. (AP) — Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Victoria Jackson has filed to run as an independent candidate for a seat on a county commission outside Nashville, Tenn.

Jackson, who calls herself a tea party conservative, moved to Thompson Station in Williamson County last year. She told The Tennessean she filed as an independent because she's "very disappointed with the Republican Party."

As long as Jackson meets the candidate qualifying requirements by the Feb. 20 deadline, her name will appear on the election ballot Aug. 7.

She would run against the Republican nominee, who will be chosen May 6.

The newspaper reports Jackson has made appearances at multiple political events in Middle Tennessee since making her home there.

wonder if she will do the cartwheel stunt while giving speeches.

That would just be awesome

In 2010, Jackson wrote in an article that she did not learn how to vote until the 2000 presidential election.[8] She maintains a personal website containing numerous postings highlighting her conservative political views. She criticized Democrats during the 2008 general election campaign, particularly presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama and Minnesota U.S. senatorial candidate (and fellow SNL alumnus) Al Franken. In October 2008, she appeared with other celebrities in a National Republican Senatorial Committee advertisement poking fun at Franken, then followed up with an interview on The O'Reilly Factor, where she called Obama a "communist."[9] She has repeated the communism claim on multiple occasions.[10][11]


LOL...didn't know how to vote until she was 41 and think's Obama is a communist! This ought to get real interesting! Who can out nutcase the other!

She is a hoot! Says fox news is the only one people should watch,she is being spied on for her conservative views,

After Rep. Todd Akin's remarks regarding pregnancies from rape, Jackson was quoted as saying, "If I got raped, I would have the baby. And if I didn't want to keep it because I had these horrible nightmares, I would adopt it out. But I think that God can turn a bad thing into a good thing. And that, if I got raped and a beautiful baby who was innocent was born out of it, that would be a blessing."[


HOLY SHIT! I just found the republicans 2016 candidate for president! MUAHAHAAHAHAA

Lefties really love these types of candidates.

She is a complete idiot.

 

[HenryBHough]

She is a complete idiot.

That was an act to get the SNL gig. Only other choice (other than acting like an idiot) was to be an openly frothy-mouthed liberal. The lady has standards!

Hi ORION I hope she has the sense to get a good PR and consultant/editor to make sure she does not say stupid stuff the liberal media can run off with.

As for rape conception, I happen to know the only woman who runs a nonprofit to honor women and children who have survived both rape and the social stigma against babies born from rape. I know a Pastor who was born from date rape, and both he and his mother share his story to encourage others not to judge people for these things.

The crime of the father has nothing to do with the victims. We need to quit judging the victims of crime like rape, quit punishing and blaming them for crimes they didn't "ask for."

I don't agree with making fun of people for their views of this sensitive subject.

My friend Juda who started choices4life was conceived in rape, herself, and later did go through a rape as an adult, so she can honestly speak her opinion from personal experience. As a prochoice liberal feminist myself, I honor Juda and her views and outreach to help women who had their babies or raised them after rape. This is not uncommon among poor trafficking victims and their children, who are sometimes the only family they have to support them emotionally when they are kidnapped and kept in confinement.

Juda and I get along and work together to promote stronger focus to stop rape and abuse in the first place, before it gets to the point of unplanned pregnancy or abortion.

I believe we can achieve more of the higher goals of both prolife and prochoice by working together, respecting each other's beliefs and limits, instead of insulting or attacking anyone.

Anyone who cries after Obama gets re-elected, grieving for America, has a deep heart and conscience, and awareness of both the consequences and responsibility involved.

A lot of people can just get angry and blame someone else, and expect others to fix it.

For someone to cry inside is a very deep call to conscience, and I respect that.

Maybe her comedy gifts may prove to be a help to her to make it through the liberal media.

That's how Reagan and Bush survived, by making jokes so the media could have fun with them. If she can balance both the media game with learning how to work the politics to get things done, good for her.

If she is starting late on the learning curve, I hope that means she hasn't picked up the bad habits. If she stays independent, she may push for things where others failed in the past.

Some policy changes depend on the media perception to push it nationally; some depend on what is really written down and orchestrated locally.

I just hope she consults with the right people to stay centered and accessible, and not caught in the same political games where candidates and officials get bought and sold out.

if she refuses to play games with campaign finances, she may have to use the media to get anywhere and try to outdo the liberal media at their own game. We'll see, I think it really depends who you team up and if you make enemies with the media and parties that be....

The best thing at the OP's story he links to, is the link to the site of Celebrity Playboy models.

If there is not enough work for her to clean up Tennessee, she can come hang out in Texas. Where even the "village idiot" can run for President.

As long as the media can see a way to make money off you, to use you to stir up ratings and invoke public reactions, you are candidate material!

That must be for people who only read Playboy for the articles!

A county commissioner?

What a great advancement for the Tea Party that would be!

That picture is her in 2014.

I love this.

She needs someone to tell her not to say stupid shit. Not because saying stupid shit is bad....but because the media running with it is bad.

Here is a fact. This woman is batshit crazy.

You have lost your mind if you think her having any position of responsibility is in any way a good thing.

I really love nutters.

If she's running for office, she's definitely not a former comedian.
