Stupid Republican idea of the day

I think you missed this:

The examples he chose are obviously stupid, though.

Rush is only joking when he said giving women the vote is what ruined this country. Because insulting all those sluts can make you lose your sponsors. . . for a week.

No, I got that. I just wanted to rant some more about how fucking stupid he is :smiley:

A South Carolina judge has sentenced a drunk driver to do a book report on the book of Job.

Dumb, sure, but is there any indication he’s a Republican and not just a regular dumb ass?

If he’s a Democrat I’m Cleavon Little.

That said I don’t think this is exactly a Republican stupid thing, just an evangelical stupid thing. Freaking Baptists, man.

I live here and I’d put good money down that he’s Republican.

There is (unfortunately :D) a bit more to the story.

…and a bit more at the link. Still screwy, but not as bad as it first appears.

A Rock Hill Baptist? Yea, I’d double that bet if I were you.

In the same vein.

This is what happens when you start making exceptions to the first amendment:

Louisiana Republican: When I Voted for State Funds to go to Religious Schools, I Didn’t Mean Muslim Ones

The photo of her in the article reminds me of Christine O’Donnell or Sarah Palin. Maybe the three of them are distant cousins.

Wow, she really does look like Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell had a baby.

The opposition to nurturing instincts is a critical aspect of conservative ideology. Lakoff goes into it here.

Imagine what she would do if she was told a Muslim is allowed to serve in the military…or run for congress…or be a policeman…or fireman…or even, the President!

I should like to introduce her to my personal Congressman, the Hon. Keith Ellison (D-MN). (He’s a Lutheran Muslim, so that’s more or less OK…)

I’m so jealous! I have to live with Joe (R-Seance Politics) Pitts. :mad:

She probably already thinks a Muslim is president.

fortunately this guy is only at the state level.

Does kindergarten lead to crime? Fact-checking N.H. legislator’s ‘research’

What the actual fuck?

I always try to defend New Hampshire slightly by pointing out that their House of Representatives has 400 legislators, who meet for about two weeks per year, and get a $200 stipend (off the top of my head; I know 400 members is correct, the other two figures are IIRC). Also, there are districts which elect multiple (I think up to nine) members. In a year like 2010, where there’s a huge wave election, you’re getting a whole bunch of crazy retired people filling out those #8 and #9 slots from some legislative district in the middle of nowhere that still make it in on a party line vote. It’s like a perfect storm situation for giving the cranks that write letters to the editor of the local paper every week an actual political job.

Two weeks per year? How can 400 pols get aught done in two weeks a year?

Also, I wonder how many righties like the book of Job* because* Job is described as a faultless man who owned slaves. That little contradiction took me out of the story, but a Southern Baptist might want to reinforce the idea that God endorses slavery.
