Stupid Republican idea of the day

Well, I’m disappoint. He should have gone full Sixta and accused Duckworth of not being a true hero 'cause she (presumably?) got shot down and cost taxpayers chopper moneys. That helicoptar wa’n’t yours to looose !

Major Sarigar of the Alien Legion might not agree with you.

I don’t think he’s eligible for federal office.

Got see his long form spawning certificate.

I’ve always wondered, is it where the egg is laid or where it hatches?

Hatches. It’s the same principle as Anchor Babies.

If life begins at conception, as certain factions of the party would have you believe, shouldn’t citizenship depend on where the baby was conceived?

Great. Long form question:

Where were you conceived? In the back seat of my father’s Pinto.

So…it isn’t where the egg is laid, but where the Mom is.

The precise position of the ovipositor is crucial. Has to be exact.

Wait. Isn’t ‘pinto’ a Spic word? Sorry boy, back of the line!

I firmly believe life begins at nidification.

So Marty Golden, NY State Senator, had a solution.

Yes, a 1950’s style etiquette class for women seeking jobs. That’s a straight arrow to the heart of the matter!:rolleyes:

Health care in America is so expensive because people don’t die of cancer anymore.

There are not enough :rolleyes: in the world.

Florida Republican congressman tells constituent who favors a minimum wage increase to “get a job”.

Because that’s the problem, you know. All those unemployed minimum-wage earners. :rolleyes:

Collins, the former Erie County executive, has a history of verbal gaffes. When Collins was running for governor in 2010, he famously referred to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver as the “antichrist.”

I wouldn’t exactly cal this a “gaffe”.

Nor would Phantom Limb.

Well, the underlying point is somewhat valid: people survive diseases today that were considered untreatable 50 or even 20 years ago. The examples he chose are obviously stupid, though.

More than 39,000 people died of breast cancer in 2011. More than 33,000 (warning: PDF) people died of prostate cancer in 2011. That’s more than 72,000 “nobodies” in just one year that died of cancers “nobody” dies from anymore, according to Mr. I Didn’t Go To Medical School (referring to Collins, not you, RNATB)

While more people do survive cancers now, his statement that nobody dies of these cancers anymore is fucking stupid. Hence its inclusion in this thread.

Well of course they’re nobodies, because they’re dead. Duh!
