Stupid Republican idea of the day

@jsgoddess

How to win more elections, Republican style:

Because it’s not just focus groups who should realize it’s a part of narrow-minded, stuffy, old white men. EVERYONE should be informed!

I just read the New Yorker article on Cantor. During one of these things the CEO of Dominos came and gave a talk about how they finally listened to their customers and realized their pizza was crap, and decided to do something about it. The article noted that Cantor - and clearly most of the party - on being told that their pizza is crap decided to redesign the box.
I do hope nobody lightens up these chumps.

The irony is, Eric Cantor’s wife Diana F. Cantor serves on the board of directors of Domino’s Pizza.

A tenth anniversary retrospective:

Commenting on the tenth anniversary of the Iraq war, Fox News host Eric Bolling claimed invading the country was former President George W. Bush’s most intelligent move.

It probably was, but Dubya’s bar was set pretty low. It comes in second to catch that perch in Texas, I am sure.

If he’s right, that makes Bush even worse than I thought, which I didn’t realize was possible.

His most intelligent move was immigration reform. The one thing his party fought him tooth and nail over.

It was his smartest idea, but it didn’t he didn’t move it anywhere.

Imagine Cantor as the pointy haired boss

By way of our good friend at ThinkProgress…

…Kavanagh gutted a Senate Bill about a Massage Therapy Board to use as a shell for his new amendment, which prohibits a person from entering a “public restroom, bathroom, shower, bath, dressing room, or locker room” if the sex designation of that facility does not match the individual’s birth certificate. He defended his “show your papers to pee” bill in an interview with 12 News Phoenix:…

I swear, I am not making this up! Linky dinky parlay voo!

You can’t spell CRAZY without R-AZ in it.

I’m going to pee in the one where you stand up to pee, and if anyone want’s to see my credentials, they can pry it from my cold…wait, no. Never mind.

It probably was the smartest thing Bush could have done…for Bush.

I doubt he’d have won in 2004 without it.

A couple of questions come to mind. First, short-form or long-form birth certificate? And second, are scofflaws assigned to (presumably gender-specific) jails by birth gender or plumbing configuration at the time of the offense?

It would be the most awesome thing in the world if Rep. Kavanaugh has a typo on his birth certificate that says he’s female.

GOP resolves to embrace Hispanics.

One from many days ago, just now coming to light:

It’s one of the great untold stories of the 2012 presidential campaign, a tale of ego and intrigue that nearly upended the Republican primary contest and might even have produced a different nominee: As Mitt Romney struggled in the weeks leading up to the Michigan primary, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum nearly agreed to form a joint “Unity Ticket” to consolidate conservative support and topple Romney. “We were close,” former Representative Bob Walker, a Gingrich ally, says. “Everybody thought there was an opportunity.” “It would have sent shock waves through the establishment and the Romney campaign,” says John Brabender, Santorum’s chief strategist.

But the negotiations collapsed in acrimony because Gingrich and Santorum could not agree on who would get to be president…

Ah, to be a fly on the wall for the Battle Of The Ego Titans.

I’m am shocked, shocked, to learn they couldn’t agree on that.

And the Left’s War on Religion continues, says Bill O’Reilly:

@Bill O

Secular progressives are running wild with President Obama in the White House. They feel unchained, liberated, and they’re trying to diminish any form of religion. The goal is to marginalize religious opposition to secular programs. For example, in Canada and China a woman can have an abortion for any reason at any time. Secular progressives want that here. But traditional forces in America are in opposition. Therefore in this country, you can’t terminate a baby about to be born without a damn good reason. And if you do abort a late term baby, you could be charged with murder. SPs hate that. In Scandanavia, there are laws that say you cannot criticize minorities and if you do, you could be arrested. Secular progressives want laws like that here. Also the legalization of drugs, well under way in many places, and that is a secular cause. So, if the far left can marginalize Santa and the Easter bunny, of they can tell the children those symbols are obsolete and unnecessary, they then set the stage for a totally secular society in the future.

I love that bit in the Bible where Jesus rolls away the giant chocolate egg…

Reince Priebus to LBGT Americans; just because we don’t believe that you deserve any form of legal recognition or protection whatsoever, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote for us.
