Here in Nevada we have one spineless Senator who, even when handed the reins of power, is impotent in the face of angry fools. His name is Harry Reid.
Our other Senator is a twit. Here is just one example.
Trust me, there are SO many more examples of this man’s ignorance, cruelty, and stupidity.
The Body is making a lot of sense recently.
From here you can watch some clips of him weighing in on the Minnesota Senate race, plus his disdain of Dick Cheney and that prick’s love of torture.
He repeats his charge today on The View. Which is funny because Survivor Girl really should stop trying to be the Voice of Conservatism when pitted against folks who have more than two brain cells to rub together. Today, as always, she is made the insipid fool.
Wow. Check out these numbers.
In short, the GOP has managed to piss off…EVERYBODY.
Granted, there’s no category for fear-mongering, bigoted, Talibangelical Luddites, but I bet even they have had some defectors.
Oh well, more Kool-aid for those still under the big empty tent.
The Talibangelicals hate everyone, even Miley Cyrus.
Not that I have much use for her, but I find it pathetic that she is being singled out by “outraged” zealots because she believes every person deserves a chance at happiness.
Once again, find me the place in the Bible where it is okay for so-called Christians to demand that some citizens are lesser than the rest of us. A generation ago these asshats refused that people of different races could marry. Hell, 20 years ago, the Mormon faction of these hatemongers thought African-Americans were darkly pigmented because of the sin they carried. No, really.
A hundred and fifty years ago, some of these folks would have been sitting on their plantation porches watching their slaves work and shooting any Catholics, Jews or basically “anyone else” who stepped on their land.
So, you know, pardon me if I call them out for being cruel bigots for picking on a teenage kid who is more enlightened than they are. Hell, I’m even partial to giving Billy Ray some credit for raising an open-minded child.
Michael Steele, figurehead for a failed racist party, thinks that gay marriage would be bad for small businesses because of all the damned benefits that newly legal partners would be deserving.
What the idiot refuses to get, according to said article is that his argument not only is BS, it is also a good argument for a) not hiring married people or those with children, and b) socialized medicine.
So now the GOP is Anti-Family Employment? Only single people will have jobs in the Talibangelical Hegemony?
Say it with me: the Republican Party hates YOUR marriage and YOUR children!
That said, I read another article recently that states how good instituting gay marriage would be for gay families. And not just the “you are no longer second class citizens” benefits. I hadn’t thought about this, but consider the following. Gay couples have to file taxes as single people. They also can’t claim each other as dependents so have to pay double insurance. It’s called the “gay tax”.
And contrary to Steele’s point, a death in a gay couple saves people money. No social security benefits and I am sure beneficiary payments are fought tooth and nail by the insurance industry.
Saving money by being anti-democracy bigots. Sounds just like some kind of GOP rallying cry.
I still stand by the concept that gay couples shouldn’t have to pay taxes. If we are going to deny them freedoms, they should be exempt from paying to be treated so. It sure looks like they are paying more than their fair share, and that in itself should be a crime some bigots should have to do time for.
Just a quick rundown on some crap that should be pointed out more and isn’t.
Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee can’t handle the truth when it is laid out by the President of Pakistan. You know, our ally.
State Senator Kim Hendren of Arkansas decided it would be cute to refer to Senator Chuck Shumer of New York as “that Jew”. Granted, that kind of talk is probably accepted in close door sessions of Republicans nationwide, but seriously….
The Washington Times thought it would be cute to run an article concerning school violence in Chicago and attach a picture of the Obama girls to it.
You know, the kids that haven’t been Chicago school students since…um…their father became President? To only message to infer here is that they’d like the girls shot dead.
Representative Tom Price is another of those Republicans who think that exploratory drilling off our coasts can make up for not buying Saudi oil or some such, says we can create 36 million jobs by doing so. One, there is no guarantee the oil is out there. Two, it will take over a decade to really pump any oil or gas we *might* find. Oh, and three, we currently employ less than 200,000 people in the oil and gas industries.
Last up, the costs of our stupidity. The Taliban has taken to waterboarding captured American soldiers. They swear it is legal and useful based on the opinion that WE said it was legal and useful.
Thanks for endangering our troops assholes!
I’ve been rough on Paul Begala. Not that he cares, but I do.
Prior to becoming a raging Clintonite, he used to make a lot of sense. His pal James Carville didn’t but Jimmy has always been more about finding the cogent needle in the haystack of madness he unleashes. Basically, Jimmy is a lost cause trying to ass kiss his way back into relevancy. Begala is the sane component of that duo.
So, here is his detailed, coherent, and rational argument against the madness of Dick Cheney.
Honestly, anyone taking the side of Dick in this argument, should probably be taken out back, waterboarded 183 times, and then asked again what they think. I imagine these chickenhawks might be changing their minds when faced with reality.
You know, when deciding whether or not to have my son join the Boy Scouts later in life, I’m going to have a few things on my checklist.
First, are they still Talibangelical enablers?
Second, do they support bigotry and exclusion when it comes to membership?
And a new third: will they try to train my son to be some kind of neo-con deathwatch stormtrooper?
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people?
Rethug Conservatives love the Putin Russia.
Don’t believe me?
They love a police state under the rule of an all powerful military and intelligence community.
They love bombing anyone they want with impunity (re: Chechnya, Georgia, etc.).
They love having a big energy conglomerate (i.e. Gazprom) work without any government restrictions and constantly padding politico’s pockets and having it’s own small army. Imagine Exxon with Blackwater/Xe as it’s strong arm.
They love bigotry, especially government sanctioned homophobia. The linked article focuses on a couple that wanted to get married and were denied, just like Republicans get wet about whenever they think about it happening here in America.
So, sure, some Dems would like the US to be a tad more socialist. Not the president, but they are right about some liberal types.
However, it seems the conservatives in our nation would love to fall over themselves to emulate post-Soviet Russia ala Putin style. It completely seems to be right up their alley.
