Stupid Republican idea of the day

Hear, hear, Rhythmdvl. Let’s keep this thread on topic.

Speaking of which, according to Tony Perkins the Secret Service prostitution scandal was caused by “…military enforcing open homosexuality”. I had not heard that the military was requiring all those enlisted to be openly homosexual. Apparently this is Sparta.

So now straight people have to go in the closet? That’s some pretty funny shit, right there.

Hey, I see the “Stupid Liberal…” thread is up to nearly 700 posts, and this is around 5,200. Yeah, that seems about the right ratio.

What is it, about twenty five percent curlcoat?

Haven’t looked that closely in a while. Clothahump started it, and the OP is a doozy.

The Stoopid Lib’rul thread would be a lot shorter if it was confined to actual criticism. But we just had curlcoat and mister nyx sniping back and forth for three pages.

from that thread:

:smack:

“OK, guys, now try to remember this time. Its ravage, plunder, rape, and then burn!”

“Qualifications?”

“Rape, murder, arson, and rape.”

“You said rape twice.”

“I like rape.”

Actually, the “Stupid Liberal” thread, like this one, is mostly about Stupid Republican ideas.

Blame me for the numbers if you wish. If I’d known score was kept, I’d not have padded out the other thread with posts like this one:

The idea that an ovulating woman is committing manslaughter if she refuses impregnation attempts seems extreme, but also a consequence of some recent Republican legislation… I wonder if any Republican politicians are trying out this line on their aides? :dubious:

The aides most Republicans would want to screw don’t have ovaries. :stuck_out_tongue:

Under “Stand Your Ground” legislation you’re allowed to kill the ovum if you felt under sufficient threat from it.

Unless it’s been fertilized. Then it’s sacrosanct until birth (or sometimes until failure to implant, but that sorta depends on whether it’s lab-grown and/or will be used in stem cell therapy). (Republican rules are complicated.)

Then you haven’t been paying attention. A statement of contempt (e.g. “I have very little tolerance for…”) for failure to do X indicates that anyone, with few if any exceptions, is normally expected to be capable of doing X.

For example, only a pretentious snob would profess “very little tolerance” for people who fail to keep track of the minutiae of food service at a fancy dinner, but most of us would have “very little tolerance” for somebody who picks up a serving dish at dinner and starts lapping out of it like a dog.

Those people are graduating with $80k in student debt, and not thrilled about it. Ms. Foxx is saying she has no sympathy for people with lots of student loan debt. That is, of course, her prerogative, but it is the prerogative of everyone else to call her stupid. This has nothing to do with whether people are succeeding.

He’s not a registered voter, for what it’s worth.

OK thing for your campaign manager or wife to say, but when the candidate says it himself, voters may ask themselves the question: “Does this person have all his marbles? Is he paranoid?”

Not as bad as Newt’s space station on Mars promise, but more than a little bit weird.

Stop singing, and finish your homework!

Then the voters have to ask themselves “Am I actually PART of the vast leftwing conspiracy?” The conspiracy could be big. Really big. Like maybe even 55% of the voting public.

That Obama is so sneaky. He’s going to involve the actual voting public in his conspiracy to get elected!

GOP Senate candidate says:

A fitting headline on the sidebar: “Catastrophic Brain Injuries at All-Time High in High School Football.” And politics.
