Could have been reading the Divine Comedy and thought it’d make good source material.
This is nice. Mitt Romney takes credit for the auto industry recovery.
I think this represents a kind of new low for the Republican party, and Mitt in particular. Karl Rove’s strategy was to always attack the opponent’s main strength and make it into a weakness. I think Mitt’s sorta doing the same thing, except he’s not even just attacking Obama’s strength’s, but also his own weakness. He knows that there is an approximately 30-40% of voters who will vote for him no matter what, just because they hate Obama so much. So he’s just going keep repeating anything he can in order to appeal to the other 10-20% and know that the likes of Fox News and conservative talk shows are going to back him up.
Tomorrow he could claim Obama eats babies, and Fox News will run that, but they’ll run it as “Does Obama eat babies? Find out next!” The 30-40% drones that will vote for Mitt won’t care about the lie, but there may be 1 or 2 or 15 or 100 moderates who may look at that and say to themselves “Maybe there’s something to it”, especially if it comes as part of an avalanche of lies that the conservatives will no doubt be telling the country about Obama. It just makes me sick that these shitty people can even sniff a position of power in the government
This is the thread for Republican stupidity. Is there a separate thread for Republican filth? If not, let me call attention here to a Youtube titled “In this video, each time Barack Obama tells a lie, a half-truth or says something that is otherwise deceptive, a small child will get slammed in the face with a soccer ball.”
(Someone in the “Is it partisan to use Obama’s middle name?” thread linked to a trash Youtube; I clicked on one or two of the “related” videos, got disgusted, but thought I should mention here the stupidity of anti-Obama Youtubers.)
Hey, cranial injury is how future Republicans are made, it’s sort of a reproductive strategy.
As opposed to what the kid would look like if they did it for any given Romney speech? I’m thinking that old animated GIF cartoon of the guy banging his head into little bloody bits against his keyboard…
In that case, how long should we expect it to be before they propose legislation making it illegal to avoid bashing kids on the head with sports equipment at every opportunity?
When this campaign started I thought Romney was the best of a pretty bad lot. Now I have this urge to push my fist through his smarmy face - or loosely tie him to the top of the family car and drive him to Canada.
Maybe Joseph Smith will come down from whatever planet he is occupying and say “Mitt, you are a big fucking liar, and I know big fucking liars.”
While I get that Republicans have lots of stupid ideas on a near daily basis, I am confused about why you think this is one. Ludovic is right, running a surplus during the month of April is not too impressive for the US Federal Government.
From here:
I don’t think the articles are an example of Stupid Liberal idea of the day, but I don’t think Ludovic is being too dense either. Help me out here.
Rather than reiterate an existing thread, I’d suggest you read through the dozen or so comments to Ludovic’s thread, and see if it doesn’t enlighten you.
Richard Lugar loses his primary election.
The Bloomberg headline says it all:
Richard Lugar Was Too Polite for Today’s Republicans

No problem with pushing your fist through his face, but don’t you dare drive him to Canada - top of the car, bottom of the car, strapped across the hood - oh hell no! We do NOT want or need him up here.
And old Joe would just give him pointers. (not that he seems to need many).
Cite? (For the second letter). (I have a cite. My posts.)
Aw, c’mon! He’s bland, dull, with all the charisma of mayonnaise. Blend right in. You guys wouldn’t even know he was there.
I’m sorry, as a premise I thought that was hysterical, but totally screwed up in execution. If they dialled it down just a notch and used different clips I would have watched through to the end. Bigtime missed opportunity and fail, but the initial thought was pretty funny.
It’s not so much a stupid idea as a catchy theme song, but it definitely didn’t deserve its own thread:
Jason Paige singing “PokéRon”. The stupid idea is probably that there are millions of Pokémon fans willing to vote for Ron Paul (assuming that’s what “joining the revolution” entails.
Hopefully this will be a continuation of the trend, where the Teapartiers boot out a moderate in the primaries, and then get their butt kicked in the general (Reid in Nevada, and I-am-not-a-witch whatsername)
Don’t forget that Utah has yet to have their primaries…Hatch looks to be in some trouble…
Well, he’s not polling well among grown-ups, and kids eventually get the vote…
