Mont. Dem. Rob Quist Silent on Genital Herpes in Tax Evasion Case

https://pjmedia.com/election/2017/05/17/mont-dem-rob-quist-silent-on-genital-herpes-in-tax-evasion-case/

Rob Quist, the Democratic candidate to replace former Congressman Ryan Zinke, refused to answer questions about his health issues highlighted by court records in a decades-old medical malpractice suit. The October 1994 lawsuit is a current issue because Quist used it as recently as March to excuse more than $27,000 in debts and property taxes that were not paid off until this year. He has also used his own medical history as an issue in the campaign, attacking the Republican health care bill.

When approached on these issues, Quist cancelled an interview. "Like most Montanans, Rob Quist believes a family's medical history should be private," the candidate's campaign spokeswoman, Tina Olechowski, said in an email to The Missoulian. Olechowski canceled a previously scheduled interview with Quist, pivoting from these privacy concerns to attack both the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and the current Republican health care bill.

The health issues surfaced Tuesday, in a report by The Washington Free Beacon's Brent Scher. Sher reported on the medical malpractice suit filed in 1994 and dismissed in 1996, in which Quist sued surgeon Dr. Roch Boyer over an allegedly botched gallbladder operation.

On Monday, Quist's campaign announced he would launch a "Hands Off Our Health Care Tour" across Montana. In that announcement, the campaign declared, "After medical complications following surgery, Rob Quist got into debt. Quist paid off his debt, but he believes no one should ever face bankruptcy just because they get sick." The release also attacked the Republican health care bill, saying it would "end protections for pre-existing conditions."

In 1994, Quist sued for damages, arguing that Boyer's medical errors harmed his health, his career, and his relationship with his family. Among these harms, the plaintiff alleged that the malpractice derailed his music career, which he now says was "getting ready to pop" at the time.

But Dr. Boyer shot back, pointing out that Quist entered the procedure with a history of marijuana usage, a pre-existing genital herpes condition, a previous positive test for tuberculosis, and a past meeting with a marriage counselor where he discussed his "failing marriage."

There is a good story behind that gif.  The fat kid was being teased without mercy by the little punk bully and he finally had enough.

Sometimes things are not always as they seem.    This is why I caution people about prejudging things. 

[r9etb]

Strawman.   As someone who appreciates logical fallacies,  you certainly  ought to recognize one when you do it.

Um.... no.  You should probably go now and look up the First Law of Holes.  Not that I think it would make any impression on you.

Hilarious.

Now prepare to be scolded for being a prude.

We got everyone here beating the war drums over the GOPer when the Rat candidate is twice the degenerate shitbag that he is.

[EC]

They're both trash. Sounds like business as usual then.

Sounds like a good case for a third party candidate.

Most House Reps are.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

My only hope is that as both sides slowly degenerate, we can finally get some strong 3rd parties in this country... otherwise the people will be voting for exactly what they want.

Works for me.

[DiogenesLamp]

Um.... no. 

Um Yes.  You are attempting to characterize something I sad very differently from the meaning and context in which I said it.   Strawman. 


That you disagree with me not only doesn't surprise me,   but it also doesn't change the objective truth.   

You should probably go now and look up the First Law of Holes. 

I am not in a "hole"  and I reject your effort to create a false premise that you didn't try to use the strawman fallacy. 

Not that I think it would make any impression on you.

To make an impression,  you must first be impressive.    So far I am underwhelmed with your attempts at snark.

Maybe people don't care because they are not looking to DC to solve their problems.

BTW, the 3rd party candidates in this last Presidential election were as corrupt and progressive as the two main party candidates. You really think it matters if they are elected?

[DiogenesLamp]

We got everyone here beating the war drums over the GOPer when the Rat candidate is twice the degenerate shitbag that he is.

That is indeed funny.   


Their best tactic at this point is to say " A Pox on Both of your houses!"   


To which I would reply,   "The Democrat already has one!"

I know you hate McMuffin, but do you really everything about all the third party candidates that were running?

Pretty much.

You win. 

[r9etb]

Nope.  Context was exact, and the words were yours.  The problem is that you say idiotic things.

I am not in a "hole"  and I reject your effort to create a false premise that you didn't try to use the strawman fallacy. 

The first step to recovery is admitting you need help.  You're not there yet, but we can surely hope....

Rush said Alicia Acuna is walking back her story...she didn't actually see all of it..

[Emjay]

We don't really know what happened.

Are you trying to make sense?  Don't try that here, buddy.

So the people of Montana have a choice between a guy who gets in a tussle with an arrogant, pos reporter and a pervert.  I wonder who they will pick.

[XenaLee]

Snark is indeed a fine art.  A balancing act.  It must be tempered, yet effective.  The finest snark is deadly effective.... even while exhibiting class. 

Hey, maybe we should have a Snark 101 class!  And while we're at it... we could give pointers on how NOT to use some of these idiotically over-used smileys....

[LateForLunch]

You're the one making all these toothless threats, keyboard warrior.

All what threats !?! Now you are whining about supposed threats.  heh You're SKEERDED!!!
