Stupid Republican idea of the day

If I thought they were being legit (which I do NOT):
1) Fight to keep the nepotism laws in effect
2) Reaction to Hillary's secret health care committee

In reality, it is partisan politics - but there is an argument that if the First Lady is going to be involved in running things, there should be some types of controls in place.
 
Holy shit, that's pretty stupid! Love that "We marry other species" bit. What other species would that be, Brian? Who is he talking about? You'd think those couples would be interviewed on Jerry Springer, at least.

You know that story cites a Democratic Representative who was offended by it, right?

Unfortunately, Dumbocrat politicians often follow the lead of stupid right-wingers.

Why didn't the report simply say everyone is a potential terrorist? If (and I said IF) this report was so poorly researched and written, then it was useless.


Hmmmm. I'm a white, Catholic veteran. Should I start hiring henchmen, building a secret lair and work on my super villain evil laugh or is it too soon?

I can't tell from the article, but it looks like that's from a glossary of terms.

So, this whole Vince Foster diversion into nowheresville....is this the stupid idea for Friday, or Saturday?

Let's run it through 'a dynamic, forward-looking organization that will amplify the common-sense and wisdom of our fellow citizens through a grassroots dialogue with Republican leaders', and see what pops out the other end.
Surely the National Council for a New America will save us all.
 
No no no... yer all ignorant and failed tenth grade English. It was clearly a reference to Moby Dick. She was clearly saying that the party needs is a strong, dedicated leader in pure pursuit of an ideal--who has hope--in capturing and subjugating the behemoth-like evil that exists in the world (the whale). That leader should stick to his or her principles, heedless of the waves and storms of tumultuous dissent that would lead the leader astray. She is Ishmael. Bacchman is her Queequeg. They are in search of an Ahab.

Will Palin answer the call?
 
Apparently Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) was the one who shouted out "You lie" during the president's speech.
 
I didn't have to read Moby Dick sophomore year. Since we were doing world literature then, that's not surprising.
 
I have more stupid republicans to post. They don't really have any ideas as such...

He is, unfortunately, one of ours, but I think Zell Miller's philosophy is closer to the Republicans, so...

Obama Needs "Gorilla Glue" Says Zell Miller

Former U.S. Sen. Zell Miller criticized President Barack Obama's recent travels overseas, telling a group of mostly Republican lawmakers Thursday that the White House Chief of Staff needs to put "Gorilla Glue" on Obama's chair to keep him in the Oval Office.

"Our globe-trotting president needs to stop and take a break and quit gallivanting around," said Miller, a Democrat well known for zinging his own party.

I'm one of the few over on Daily Kos who apparently aren't seeing this as a racist thing, even if it is, regardless, stupid. Gorilla Glue is a brand name of a fairly popular and reputedly very strong glue. I don't necessarily think it's a racist dogwhistle. Also, "globetrotting" meant something before the exhibition basketball team was organized. It doesn't necessarily refer to the Harlem Globetrotters.

However, I'm very much in the minority over at DKos. Does this senile rant by Miller necessarily HAVE to be interpreted racially?
 
This thread is fun. This may not be the Daily Stupid, but it is still a new flavor of stupid to sprinkle on our sundae... And there's just no excuse for this thread being dead all day! Surely there were five stupider Republican ideas today than this:

Today, Tom Sullivan told me that the Chrysler dealers being closed (suggested to be closed?) were picked based on the political donations of the dealership owners. Dealership owners with R donations were on Obama's Enemies List (no shit), and had to go.

Hypothetical pop quiz: You own a business. Your business thrives on polluting. Which party do you donate to?

Why would a Democratic President even bother talking to the chair of the RNC? He's nobody as far as the structure of the government is concerned. He doesn't represent any population at all, he's not in Congress. There's no REASON for Obama to give him the time of day.

No kidding! I had to laugh at Steele's "...I think he has got a little thing about me, that I haven't quite figured out what that is." That "thing" is probably along the lines of "who?" if someone were to ask President Obama about Steele. Steele's ego is too hilariously huge.

That's an excellent point. Like, I was just pointing out to some black people how I'm like blacks because I've got rhythm, and you'd think I'd said something offensive! I mean, having rhythm's a good thing, right?

The science isn't clear on that. On the one hand rhythm allows for awesome bucket drumming, and on the other hand it allows obnoxious bass beats. That may have been their bone of contention.

Old stupid republican idea of the day just bought to light. Didn't think it deserved it's own thread, so I put it here.

Tony Blair and the freaking president of Colombia get Medals of Freedom but JK Rowlings does not. And not because she wrote what some describe as mediocre books or that these books lack cultural significance but because Harry Potter promotes and encourages witchcraft.
Click to expand...

The only thing dumber than Tony Blair getting the Medal is Rowlings getting it. BTW, your link has no reference to Rowlings whatsoever.

Why should a writer of mediocre fantasy books get a Presidential medal?

I guess I shouldn't read anything into the the fact that Issa has been in congress for years and he has only thought of this now?
Click to expand...

Your mistake is using the verb "thought" in relation to the compound proper noun "Darryl Issa". Never the twain shall meet.

This is the same guy who pushed the recall of Gray Davis as governor of California because he thought he could waltz right into Sacramento without serious challenge, then cried in public when Ahnold got the nod instead.

He's a weasel.

A really dumb weasel.
 
I don't know, but I've alerted the appropriate people and this Tom Sullivan fellow is now on the list too.

Poochie strikes again!

He was not vetted, because the press fell in love with the black man running for the office. “Oh gee, wouldn’t it be neat to do that? Gee, wouldn’t it make all of our liberal guilt just go away? We can continue to ride around in our limousines and feel so lucky to live in an America with a black president.”

Limousines? What the... Well, thank you for that window onto your own life, Poochie.
 
Oh, its nothing more than a really, really bad and stupid joke. But I have to wonder if he really and truly believes that the average Iraqi-deployed grunt shares his contempt. That has to be the number one cherished myth of the rightarded.
