Stupid Republican idea of the day

Mike Huckabee: “If you’re a Christian, don’t join the military till Obama is out of office, because he’s fostering a hostile work environment for Christians in the military.”

Isn’t being in the military by definition a hostile work environment?

Steve King compares the “illegal immigrants” that Obama’s immigration reforms will “allow into the country” (as if they aren’t here already) to the black in the segregated South who got voting rights after the Civil Rights Act.

I can’t believe he had the nerve to say that. He’s stupidly lying about the executive order. While at the same time claiming that the blacks who were allowed to vote after the voting rights act are illegitimate.

What a colossal cunt.

@Lobohan

What a colossal cunt.

His words: “It erodes the politics of this country, the respect for the rule of law, and it creates this massive electorate that will likely vote in large numbers for Barack Obama and his party, just like African-Americans have done so after Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, which by the way took the majority of Republicans in the House and Senate to make sure that that passed.”

Vote for Barack Obama? Hmm… sounds kind of paranoid.

Obamacare makes us North Korea, says David Brat. This is the guy who beat Eric Cantor.

Is it just me, or are the Republicans doubling down on the willful stupidity lately? Is there an election coming up or something?

Have you been on sabbatical in a sensory deprivation chamber for, oh, the last decade or so? ;)

My personal and unproven theory is that it has something to do with the phases of the moon. Someone should do some research on it.

The moon gets full; the moon gets new. You can’t explain that!

Amongst the repetitive racist ridiculous rabid ranting of the Rs, we are at least going to get a season of hilarity before the ordeal of the presidential election.

Does the presidential election include the primaries? 'Cause they’re already line dancing for the base.

Not for the comedy. Once they have a nominee, it will start to look more like tragedy.

Former Rep. Tom Tancredo wondered if President Obama will soon launch a military strike against Israel in order to help Iran:

So, it is entirely likely and predictable that if Israel decides it has no choice but to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities before Iran can produce nuclear weapons, Obama would likely act to block that military intervention by whatever means necessary, including a U.S. military attack on Israel. Why would he not do it? Who would stop him?

So there were apparently 18 potential GOP candidates trampling New Hampshire over the weekend…

[johnpost]

if they haven’t declared themselves then they were just sight-seeing or shopping or something.

Its a “stumpede”. A mass bloviation. Low pressure front of hot air.

Once one of 'em “gits” the nomination, he will immediately moderate his positions and attempt to sound reasonable.

Of course, if and when he is elected he will once again be full bore loony toons, even if he promised not to be crazy the night before the election.

Did we do this one?

Rand Paul owns up to his short temper:

“I think I’ve been universally short-tempered with both male and female reporters. I’ll own up to that,” he said Wednesday in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “I’ll have to get better at holding my tongue and holding my temper. But I think it’s pretty equal-opportunity.”

Just who we need as the most powerful man in the free world: someone who has a problem holding his temper.
