Comments about ‘Chaffetz clarifies Carrie Prejean comments’

When you read what he was asked and what he said, this is a non-story being stretched.

I guess when the first amendment stated Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.. that this amendment only applies to government and does not apply to the way the media, and certain groups treat people.

I agree with arc 11:08 this is a non-story.

Chaffetz:
More than a bit of a stretch, especially the headline. They asked if I agreed she "was the next Sarah Palin?" I said, "Being the Republican nominee for the Vice President of the United States is a far cry from being in a Donald Trump beauty contest." I didn't see that quote in the story.

My quote was ""[Carrie] has the ability to draw crowds and if she has a strong message to go with that, who knows what she can do? She has star power which can open doors." Not exactly "Prejean should be a politician."

It's interesting how liberals are lambasting her for the sex tape yet if it were one of their own, they would say that it's a "non-issue", much like they did with President Clinton and MonicaGate.

Not 17

Have the Republicans become so desperate for a candidate that they are willing to put forth any former beauty queen contestant who says the right conservative things?

Is that the depth of qualification? "She's pretty"

You're complaining about being misquoted, BUT the right-wing has championed Prejean based on their misquote of her situation and why everyone else is laughing at her.

Prejean said: "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage...."

Tell us, Chaffetz or Prejean, where that land exists.

Once again he puts his foot in it. How many times is he going to have talk his way out of controversy? He hasn't been in very long but we sure don't hear much about his plans for changing America, but we hear a lot with this junk.TMZ? Really? Where there's smoke, there's a fire.

A woman that elects to have breast augmentation to win a beauty contest and lies about her dirty laundry is not an example for young girls.


There are PLENTY of good Christian role models, she is not one of them

Why is Chaffetz talking to TMZ? Doesn't he have better things to do?

If they called him and hooked him into saying something then it is on him for taking the bait. How EMBARRASSING for Utah.

What conservative message should she champion now Jason? Banning Full Body Scanners at the airport?

She is the face of the republican presidential contenders, just like Sarah Palin. Neither of them can finish the office they were elected to fill.

They are both Idols, heck maybe I will be seeing Palin in some XXX rated films soon too.

Those darn conservatives and their sex lives.
They should be more like democrats and just focus
on killing the unborn.

Those darn conservatives and their sex lives."

Who? Ensign? Larry Craig? Sanford? Gingrich? Who are you talking about specifically that destroyed their families after making vows to God? Too many to list.

What is Jason doing talking to TMZ and why about some dishonest beauty queen. Our nation has much larger issues? What is he doing?

How many times can Chaffetz claim to be misquoted before people start doubting his credibility? This guy is a train wreck waiting to happen.

I'm a 56 year old democrat who has never killed the unborn. I was once called a baby murder upon returning from the army defending this nation. Thanks for the memories! More conservative moral relativism.

You have got to admire Chaffetz' passion and willingness to speak up for causes. However, if he doesn't learn to use a little discretion when he speaks it will all be wasted and his political career will be short lived.

Fellow Christians, why are we elevating liars? We should distance ourselves if we want to live a different standard than the rest of the world. By accepting these frauds, we are associating with the people we say we don't act like.

"You have got to admire Chaffetz' passion and willingness to speak up for causes."


Yes, because the political discourse of such pressing matters of the human condition and our party should be discussed with TMZ, a pop culture blog.

Jason, what are you doing? Seriously, what are you doing talking to TMZ?

Jason, here are some suggestions for headlines you could create instead of one where once agin you are misquoted talking to some entertainment site.

Chaffetz writes healthcare reform bill that preserves private enterprise.

Chaffetz write bill abolishing No Child Left Behind

Chaffetz writes bill that puts local school decisions in the hands of States and counties.

Chaffetz for ponce says "no comment" to entertainment web site.

Chaffetz is an idiot. Who votes for this fool?

Yes, a woman who got breast-implants, did topless photo's and made a naughty video for your boyfriend is 'standing up' for marriage?

No wonder 'traditional' marriage has a 50% divorce rate.
