Stupid Republican idea of the day

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

Yes. Damn Hispanics and their casinos!

@EddyTeddyFreddy

Cursed with smallpox?

Yes, but it comes with a free Frogurt.

@Rhythmdvl

Yes, but it comes with a free Frogurt.

You can take your cursed frogurt, choice of toppings, and potassium benzoate and shove 'em.

@Kobal2

It’s not so stupid. He’ll just outreach by SPEAAAAKING SLOOOWLY AND IN A LOUUUUD VOIIICE. And offer them glass beads, tinware and trinkets in exchange for votes.

And constantly refer to Hispanics as “you people”. I hear they REALLY like that.

[Equipoise]

I haven’t been paying too much attention to Stupid Republicans, but I just came across two more.

Jim “We could learn a LOT from the Taliban!” DeMint, the Crazy that Keeps On Giving:

@Dumbass

DEMINT: The problem is, the war in Afghanistan and our economy are our two biggest issues. **But he’s working on other issues such as health care and he’s putting off the decision on Afghanistan which I think puts our troops at risk. **So he needs to focus on priorities right now and not try to ram so many things down our throat here in Congress. He needs to address the issue of Afghanistan quickly.

and Rep. Steve 'Who?" King (Iowa) who opined that:

@Another Dumbass

Same-Sex Marriage Is 'A Purely Socialist Concept"

The quote in full:

@Really

So in the end this is something that has to come with a, if there’s a push for a socialist society, a society where the foundations of individual rights and liberties are undermined and everybody is thrown together, living collectively off of one pot of resources earned by everyone. That is, this is one of the goals they have to go to is same-sex marriage because it has to plow through marriage in order to get to their goal. They want public affirmation. They want access to public funds and resources. Eventually all those resources will be pooled because that’s the direction we’re going. And not only is it a radical social idea, it is a purely socialist concept in the final analysis.

When he’s talking to his buddies, it will be “those people”.

So, what, he’s saying there was actual analysis involved in this patchwork of, uhm . . . ideas?

[Equipoise]

Jeez, I don’t know what he’s trying to say. It’s pretty much gibberish to me. I did like the part about “a society where the foundations of individual rights and liberties are undermined” though. Apparently same-sex marriage undermines individual rights and liberties, but bigoted laws and attitudes don’t. I guess. Or something.

It must be some sort of reaction to the recent poll that 92% of the people in his state said that same-sex marriage hasn’t affected them. I guess. Or something.

Remember this?

@Really Not All That Bright

@legalsnugs

Does the stupid idea have to come from a federal Republican? If not, here’s my contribution.

Cynthia Davis just won the thread.

(I changed legalsnugs’s link because the original one was dead)

Cynthia’s at it again. In fact, she’s even MORE stupid this time. We have Double Stupid here.

First, I just found out that she’s a Birther and went to California recently to lend moral support to fellow nutbag Oily Titz.

Says Davis: “I’m here to help the cause!”

Second, we can all rest easy because according to Davis, racism is dead! Hooray!

@Kookoo lady

“Racism may have affected some people decades ago, but now that we are in a new millennium, the only people trying to perpetuate racism are people who are still trying to live in the past or those who are intentionally trying to stir up unrest,” Davis writes.

That blog is hilarious. My husband and I met through that paper (The Pitch), so I have a particular soft spot for it.

[E-Sabbath]

Well, if the children get hungry enough there won’t be any racism.

…

[Frostillicus]

Oily Titz.

This needs more love.

[dropzone]

@Frostillicus

This needs more love.

And as I have a thing for crazy Jewish girls…

I can’t hope for “santorum”-level popularity, but it does need to be spread around. Thanks!

"As the Senate Finance Committee moved into its fourth day of deliberations over the health care bill, tensions continued to rise.

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), broke new ground defending an amendment he’d proposed that struck language from the bill defining which benefits employers are required to cover – in this case, basic maternity care.

“I don’t need maternity care,” Kyl said. “So requiring that on my insurance policy is something that I don’t need and will make the policy more expensive.”

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), interrupted Kyl: “I think your mom probably did.”

The amendment was defeated, nine to 14."

To be fair, I’m not sure Kyl was actually born. Doesn’t slime reproduce asexually?

I’ve seen Oily Taint around a lot. Oily Titz is new to me. She really does look like Lady GaGa rode hard and put away wet.

[elucidator]

She looks like she wishes she were rode hard, and put away wet.

That’s nine people who should be ashamed of themselves.

I hope their mothers and/or wives kicked their asses when they got home.

Old stupid republican idea of the day just bought to light. Didn’t think it deserved it’s own thread, so I put it here.

Tony Blair and the freaking president of Colombia get Medals of Freedom but JK Rowlings does not. And not because she wrote what some describe as mediocre books or that these books lack cultural significance but because Harry Potter promotes and encourages witchcraft.
