Stupid Republican idea of the day

It's not the Jus Soli that's the stupid part. It's the framing it as 'Well, we need to keep this as a white country, so if we stop them illegals from giving citizenship to their kids, we can stop them from being Democrats!' bit.
 
Do I agree that a national poll reported nearly 25% of Americans want more socialism?

Do I agree that nearly 25% of Americans want more socialism?

Do I agree with the nearly 25% of Americans who want more socialism?

I'm so confused.
It doesn't matter. It's all code for "Do you agree to be totally batshit insane and stupid?" Yes? Sign here! Then give us money!
 
A more calm and reasoned reading of my posts reveals only that I feel many questions have been raised about the Clintons' behavior and character and curiously missing documents, and that they remain unanwered to this day.
Oh, my stars. If only Dick Cheney had declassified the documents showing all the good that came from that blowjob, the ends would have justified the means.
 
From the RNC Membership Survey:

1. A recent national poll reported that nearly 25% of Americans want the government to pass more socialism. Do you agree or disagree?

Ooh, if it is, they could merge this with the "Scary Eyes" thread.

Mind you, I think I'd be too petrified to open the resulting abomination against nature, but what the hell. 'Tis the season for spookiness.
 
Ha. Ha! Oh, man.

House Republicans presented a four-page outline of their health care reform plan Wednesday but said they didn’t know yet how much it would cost, how they would pay for it and how many of the nearly 50 million Americans without insurance would be covered by it.
 
Hill and Rogers argue that the health care reform bill being debated in Congress would violate the 10th Amendment and that their state amendment would protect Georgia from having to participate in any federal reform.
Which would probably be a net SAVINGS for the program. This has Georgia as only the 40th most healthy state in the union.
 
Representative Lynn Jenkins (R - Kansas) said that the GOP is searching for a great white hope. But she didn't mean that in racial terms.
 
... the most popular First Lady in more than 40 years.
Burt Prelutsky would like to have a word with you.

Asswipe Prelutsky said:
Take Michelle Obama...please. Every time I turn around, there she is on a magazine cover. Now, normally, like the Mafia, I lay off the spouses, but inasmuch as this particular spouse attended the same racist church as her hubby for 20 years, I'll make an exception in her case. After all, in spite of the fact that affirmative action got her an Ivy League degree and a $7,000-a-week salary and, moreover, has sent billions of dollars for no particularly good reason to Africa, she insists this is a mean country. The burning question in my circle is: if the First Family gets a female dog, will she be the First Bitch or will she have to settle for second place?
Score!

Tammy Bruce too:

Discussing the first lady's visit to a Washington D.C. classroom last week, Bruce incredulously recalled [Michelle] Obama's story about wanting to get A's in school and called out her use of a "weird, fake accent."

"That's what he's married to," Bruce said. "...You know what we've got? We've got trash in the White House. Trash is a thing that is colorblind, it can cross all eco-socionomic...categories. You can work on Wall Street, or you can work at the Wal-Mart. Trash, are people who use other people to get things, who patronize others, who consider you bitter and clingy..."
Score!

I thought about starting a thread called "What kind of an asshole hates Michelle Obama?" but I guess wouldn't have been able to use the word asshole in the Subject Line and no other word fits the description.

Yep. Drill for uranium because the Earth has already survived for 6,000 years without environmental laws and its not going anywhere.



On the other hand, Sen. Jim Dewitt (R-Moron) seems to equate the swearing in of Al Franken as US senator with the Honduran military oup:

So many stupid Republican ideas, so few days...
 
I'm willing to excuse that last one. I doubt it was racially motivated. It sounds like just a semi-lazy plucking of a phrase that is in the lexicon that she didn't really put two and two together over regarding how it would sound.

On the Crazy-Ass-Republican scale, she's no Michelle Bachmann to be sure
 
When I first saw this, I could not believe it wasn't a parody. I even opened up a thread in CS to make sure I wasn't being punked by The Onion.

...In the US now, we have a bunch of people who didn't make a peep when the administration was tapping into all of their electronic communications and monitoring the books they checked out from the library, but is now in a frenzy because a Congresswoman wanted to change the hold music on her telephone.
[Emphasis mine.]

Not picking on you, Oy!, but this is how these phony stories gain traction. The linked story clearly states that Pelosi had nothing to do with the proposed change, but in recounting the story, the false take is repeated. With enough repetitions, it becomes accepted truth.

The only solution is to denounce lies as lies every time, and never to buy into the false meme, even if it's easy shorthand.
 
You really should see Stuart Saves His Family, one of the billion SNL spinoff movies. I think it's pretty good, though I might be the only one.

And in truth the Senate would be a better place if there were more Stuarts in it.
 
My submission today is S.C Republican Party County Chairmen Edwin Merwin (Bamberg County) and James Ulmer (Orangeburg), wrote in a letter to the editor of The Times and Democrat (the Orangeburg, SC paper) that Senator James DeMint was like a Jew "watching our nation's pennies."

I mentioned this to my wife yesterday. She, not believing that someone could be so dumb, thought that maybe they were going for some obscure biblical reference. Yeah - They could only wish. They went straight for the offensive stereotype.

I don't understand how that's an offensive stereotype. Isn't frugality and financial planning a good thing? And doesn't the letter suggest Jews are good? Do you mean it's offensive because it suggests non-Jews are inferior? Because, I mean.... they just are.
