A bit crass of a title but basically the story highlights how the Rethugs were against bipartisan solutions to health care before they were against it after discussing it.
In short, these guys have no desire to help Americans – even when their ideas are included in the bill.
And yes, anyone who supports this asinine behavior IS a moron.
In case you’ve forgotten, the Republican Party is jammed packed with people who want to become president and turn this nation into a hate-filled bigoted theocracy.
Remember that the next time you are at the polling booth.
Some sensible men of faith find it repulsive that the C Street House O’ Cheating Politicians has tax exempt status and want it revoked.
I agree with that of course. That said, what I really agree with is revoking the tax exempt status from every church that has given out conservative biased “voting guides” in recent elections. What I really would like to see is every church that has had a sermon on praying for Obama’s death, or an illness to take him or another Democrat out, or to hope for a “miraculous” violent overthrow/theocracy/reset the time continuum/etc. to ALSO lose their tax exempt status.
Basically, I have never heard any violence, death, or harm wished a Republican from a pulpit, but apparently the reverse is all the rage. I have heard calls for prayers for Bush, curses on Catholics, and the point that my dog is going to Hell for having a microchip in my mom’s Baptist church – which is why I’m never stepping foot back in that building, but no, I don’t see liberal religious types being so damned mean.
So, in short, OF COURSE the C Street Commitment-Breakers should lose any privilege they have to violate federal law. But for every church that has screeched their congregations to vote GOP (or otherwise if you’ve seen any proof of that) I would argue that they should pay taxes for the next 20 years. If they keep their noses clean – if they can truly be pious – then they can get it back (if society still buys their argument).
Otherwise, there should be a price for preaching politics from the pulpit. There should also be a price for preaching hate, fear, bigotry, and racism from the pulpit, but I believe that God can handle that one better than man.
In short, conservative mercenary dicks like Blackwater are recklesss, murderous, irresponsible frat boys, just like the party they vote for.
When they are shooting civilians (or each other), these idiots are using cute fake names to check out automatic weapons in a war zone, and then lose them.
Tell me once again how the money we are supposedly saving is making us any safer when these assclowns are world class screwups? Incidentally, when each of these gun-toting oafs is making like ten times what we pay a grunt, HOW are we saving any money?
NPR stops kissing conservative ass just long enough to realize that budget reconciliation has been used before to get around Republican objectives to caring for Americans.
Turns out you wouldn’t have COBRA plans or poor children’s health coverage without it.
So…there’s a precedent. Use it.
Some Rethugs are more stupid than even I gave them credit for. Consult the list on that link for proof.
Look, you idiots voted to stop a job bills from being voted on. And then, when you fail and are forced to vote against a bill YOU NEVER WANTED TO VOTE ON, you go ahead and vote FOR it!?!
Really? I’m supposed to take anything you say seriously after that bit of nonsense? Come on!
A couple of my personal beefs with Rethugs are their twisting of our nation’s history as well as their insatiable need to teach our children outright lies. Here is yet another look at the rabid Talibangelical bastards trying to dumb down our nation’s textbooks.
Look, if you want to believe that Sarah Palin is a genius, the earth is only 6,000 year old and that abstinence only sex ed doesn’t lead to a rash (pun intended) of anal sex incidents, go for it. But don’t do it with my public tax dollars and don’t try to treat science as some form of archaic alchemy that doesn’t belong in a school curriculum.
Get bent, go home, go be Luddites somewhere way the hell away from the public sector. Our nation deserves better.
Also, just as some enlightenment on the thoughts of our Founding Fathers as it comes to organized religion. You know, just to add some context.
“Lighthouses are more useful than churches.” – Benjamin Franklin
“This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion it it.” – John Adams
“Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man.” – Thomas Jefferson
Every once in awhile, Arnold forgets he’s supposed to be some obstructionist Rethug and actually remembers all the rules to actually being a public servant that Sargent Shriver must have beat into his head. In those moments, he sounds like a credible politician. Too bad that guy hasn’t been around much of late. Hopefully he’s back to get his party whipped into some form of sanity.
Here is either the same interview or a followup in which he acts rationally and speaks as if there is more than one side to a story. Which, having this on FAUXNews, is pretty remarkable.
So, apparently, there may actually be Republicans who haven’t gone total Palinite or Talibangelical. Just not many of them though.
See that smiling jackass up there? Yeah, he’s the fourth biggest contributor to FAUXNews. And when he’s not paying for racist, treasonous bullshit to be on American airwaves, he’s paying the families of suicide bombers to go kill women and children.
Of course, FAUX is now putting the hush alert out so you won’t be hearing anything bad about this ass clown or the Saudis from here on out.
Country first, huh?
