Stupid Republican idea of the day

Too predictable. The same old frothing at the mouth and raising a stink.

The mouth isn’t where the froth occurs, I’m given to understand. :wink:

The stupid is powerful in this political party!

If you ever watch Santorum speak you’ll see what comes out of an asshole.

The same thing happened in South Carolina. Tea Party rally where Trikki Nikki was to speak. Trump scheduled to attend. He bailed. Rally fizzled. It is to laugh. Cite.

So TN is creating a Governor’s Tea Party Coalition to be run out of her office. :smack:

This is just a mild amusement, especially for the comic nerds, but I thought it worth sharing nonetheless:

Minn. politician calls Neil Gaiman names after the state paid him to speak; Politician’s mother chastises him. Life goes on.

I’m actually impressed that the guy apologized. Normally, Republicans only issue apologies to Rush Limbaugh.

Finally got up to date with this thread. (Thanks for the tip, B.E.G., that was waaay helpful. 15 pages instead of 60? Count me in!) I do think the thread should come with a warning, though. Between laughing until my sides hurt, and alternately banging my head on the keyboard, I am in serious pain, and will soon need a new laptop, and this is All Your Fault!
Thankfully, (or sadly) the Rapture will happen later today, and all those good God-fearing folks will be whooshed away, never to amuse (or cause pain) again. Damn, I’m gonna miss 'em.

:smiley:

I’d say it’s more of a shocker to learn that Republican politicians have mothers…

Those eggs don’t lay themselves.

I thought they came out of a mold. The mold certainly needs a good cleaning it’s all gummed up and leaving defects on every candidate.

Anyone remember the Obama is a Muslim flap? It’s still big news in Minnesota. Having your pet anti-gay activist turn up to pray all over the House while wearing sweat pants is one thing, but then…

The Republican Speaker of the house immediately ran down to the floor and apologized for inviting that guy, so I have to give him credit for that.

It was a classy apology, so if it was him that was responsible, I can’t really hold it against him as anything other than a mistake. Bradlee Dean, the sweatpants-wearing preacher who’s unclear about the meaning of non-denominational, on the other hand, is a total jackass. And, shocking almost no one, is good friends with Michele Bachmann.

](Bachmann-Supported Group Claims Rep. Ellison Using Gays To Impose Sharia on US | People For)Yet another sign that everyone who voted Republican with the idea that they were going to focus on the economy, rather than their hateful social agenda, was played for a fool yet again.

Michele Bachmann also belongs to a church that says the Pope is the Antichrist. It will be interesting if she runs to see if that gets any attention given the sobbing hysteria the Republicans displayed over Reverend Wright.

Mmm, croissants. Yeah, what have the Christians got?

I wouldn’t say unthinking. Well, not all. A certain proportion of plain silly, yes. Of course, I’m from southwest Missouri, so my opinion is biased. :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously, though, my part of the country, and I hate when racist shitheads try to justify their crap with that attitude of “Well, I’m just a hick.”

Are you sure that isn’t an excuse? The song clearly references Galileo, who denied the Biblical truth of a flat Earth with four corners standing still in the center of the Universe. Sinful science!

C’mon, I dare you to name one musical anthem that has never been sung by teh gay.

Freebird!

By that criteron, school choirs and bands also can’t play anything by Tchaikovsky, Schubert, Cole Porter, Leonard Bernstein (no more productions of West Side Story), Aaron Copeland. Stephen Sondheim and a laundry list of others.
