Stupid Republican idea of the day

I’m fine with saying that Democrats/liberals aren’t perfect. As Barney Frank said, “Democrats aren’t perfect, but Republicans are NUTS!” We’re not perfect, but there is a vast difference between the two parties.

Okay, another honest reply.

Thanks.

I don’t think you’ll find anyone who’s following this thread who would dispute that the purpose of the thread is to make fun of Republicans. If they’d stop giving us so much ammunition, we’d stop making fun of them. Frankly, if you can find ANYTHING in the Stupid Liberal Ideas thread that even comes CLOSE to being as stupid and ignorant as ANYTHING in this thread, I’d be surprised. There’s certainly stuff over there. But it’s mostly penny-ante crap proposed by what are basically the Democratic man on the street. The stuff in this thread tends more toward serious and dangerous proposals by actual Republican elected officials or party leaders.

“Rep. William Tracy Arnold, R-Booneville, has introduced a bill that would outlaw the creation of “human-animal hybrids” in Mississippi and slap offenders with a hefty fine.”

Of course, there’s some anti-abortion shit thrown in for good measure.

No self-respecting Republican can write a bill without anti-abortion shit thrown in for good measure. It’s a reflex.

If you read it carefully, you may notice that it’s also a request (albeit phrased somewhat peremptorily).

I’ll also try to bring it to your attention that most of the responses to what you’ve posted in this thread come from people who are motivated by the same desire (that you stop harshing their make-fun-of-Republicans buzz).

Do you suppose you could post a response to that aspect of the conversation? Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

“This American Life” recently did a piece on the New Hampshire House of Representatives. It made the point that you could win some seats with only about 700 votes. So theoretically you could personally know every person who voted for you.

And, no doubt, every miscarriage will now be prosecuted as manslaughter. No, you say? Why ever not?

Next up, a bill that will prohibit women from uttering, “Thank Christ!” when their period finally shows up. Reckless indifference, don’t you know.

It’s ironic how holier-than-thou you come across with your un-needed offer to “help me improve my arguments” and telling me how blinded by bias I am, and you are telling me how you’re smarter than I think you are. At least I know what thread I am posting in (read the top of the screen, it might help you since you seem lost).

Keep having an argument with yourself about something no one here has said though, it’s amusing.

Shhh, don’t encourage him to post another three-in-a-row.

IMO your post should have stopped there.

Okay, name them. With cites. Not just one person, either. You used the plural, so pay up or shut up.

Can he just do the latter? That would be just swell.

If he drops “I didn’t mean that literally” I will bust a gut…literally.

Makes sense. Once you start introducing these guys into the mix, they kind of take over.

More importantly, he neglected to mention that there are some Republicans that think there aren’t any stupid Republicans in the world. So before we criticise people in this thread, we should improve the arguments of the Republicans by convincing them that all sides are equally bad, so vote Republican. Or something.

We are just too stupid to realize his tortured genius. If only he could reach through my thick skull and better me some way, my arguments, my blind biases… I want to be a lump of clay to be moulded by his baffling superiority and eye for minutia.

Guys, what the fuck? Take a moment, go watch Mean Girls or Heathers, then come back.
