Failed candidate and failed nutritional-supplement peddler blames Obama for his bankruptcy

By adamg on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 7:55am

Bill Hudak, who ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility, filed for bankruptcy this week. He tells the Salem New that it's Obama's fault and has nothing, really, to do with the $184,000 in credit-card bills he has or the stock market crash that happened under George Bush. He didn't tell the News what role Obama had in crushing his nutritional-supplement business.

Womp, womb, womb. Seems his

Womp, womb, womb. Seems his polices worked out so well.

You mean the guys

making backyard steroids supplements that were almost chemically identical to illegal prescription substances, but were different enough not to be ensnared under previous law?

Worse some were contracting development of these chemicals to china and getting back very dangerous stuff that wasn't concocted properly, so harmful substances were left in them in trace amounts.

Boo freaking hoo. You tried to scurt the law and the law caught up.

Maybe being a birther affected his business judgment

This was the idiot whom Scott Brown initially endorsed, then quickly backed away from when his team did some basic vetting and realized Hudak is a birther and a racist nutjob. With any luck, this bankruptcy destroys any chance that this ridiculous, hateful asshole will ever run again for public office. Sad reflection on the state of the GOP in the Commonwealth.

sounds reasonable to me (sarcasm)

For people who criticize this guy's judgment...take a closer look. He raised over half a million dollars for the campaign, ran up credit card debt to finance it, sold off what possessions he could to cover the debts, and now is seeking bankruptcy protection so he can keep his house and start over for the next election cycle. He should have paid off the student loans though...they are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, so he'll start out like the rest of America's recent college grads with $600-1000/month payments for the next 10-30 years...except he's got a house in Boxford and a law practice already started.

The most ironic line of all:
No one in my entire life has given me a thing that I haven't worked to get on my own.

Sound to me like he's played the system just about right.

au contraire, mon frere...

Actually I think it speaks well of the Bay State. I mean he ended up a bankrupt, crackpot joke...were this another state he would probably have been considered as a serious alternative to Romney for the GOP Presidential nomination...at least for a news cycle or two. Birther-racist-nutjob seems to be a job qualification in many other states' GOP tents. We don't have many Republicans around here, but at least for those that are around you can actually have an argument with them based on reality 3 times out of 4.

The really sad thing was that

The really sad thing was that I believe this was a Congressional seat marked as vulnerable in the last election, considering the current occupant (Tierney, if I remember correctly) was no great shakes.

So, yeah, great planning there, Mass GOP.
