They can’t seem to let it go and it continues to bite back at them when they try to do something to shut it down or focus too much on it. Of all things they could have used to file a lawsuit over, they had to choose this. At least it’s not about Benghazi. ---

I was wondering when Republicans would finally show their hand and their love for Obamacare and the big business in brings to their insurance overlords. Bizarre times, but I’m not surprised. Republicans suing Obama for not implementing Obamacare fast enough. Will their mouth-breathing constituents put up with it though? ---

Bizarre times, but I’m not surprised. Republicans suing Obama for not implementing Obamacare fast enough. Will their mouth-breathing constituents put up with it though? Actually, they just want to watch the world burn. They’re suing him for not implementing the employer mandate, in the hopes that it will nosedive the economy before next November and they can exploit the suffering it causes to win votes. ---

😕 **Bob Frey is a Republican running for the Minnesota House of Representatives** , and he’s worried about the economic cost of sodomy. He’s not against gay people, mind you — the problem, he explained yesterday, has to do with the way sperm burns our anal cavities. Here’s his theory. It turns out that Frey has a longstanding theory that sperm extrude a “burning” enzyme that’s only neutralized when the sperm meets an egg. \*\* When sperm are running around loose in somebody’s anus, they burn everything and cause AIDS. \*\* [INDENT] It’s more about sodomy than about pigeonholing a lifestyle. When you have egg and sperm that meet in conception, there’s an enzyme in the front that burns through the egg. The enzyme burns through so the DNA can enter the egg … [But when the] sperm is deposited anally … it’s the enzyme that causes the immune system to fail. **That’s why the term is AIDS – acquired immunodeficiency syndrome**. > **[Politician Explains Why Sodomy Is Causing AIDS Due to "Sperm Enzyme"](https://gizmodo.com/politician-explains-why-sodomy-is-causing-aids-due-to-1603846473)** > > Bob Frey is a Republican running for the Minnesota House of Representatives, and he's worried about the economic cost of sodomy.
