Stupid Republican idea of the day

The Blaze is always good for a laugh

Here’s some nutjob claiming Christians should try for a religious exemption from ObamaCare.
The reasoning is a bible verse that prohibits the practicing of sorcery, connecting with some word origin BS that equates sorcery with medication. Because it’s all magic, doncha know.

I was kinda wondering why he was providing so much cannon fodder for a future election. Nothing like rambling for hours to give the opposing team a bunch of good stuff to work with in the future.

I think Rachel Maddow (swan’s neck, girlish giggle, mind like a steel trap…) may have nailed it. Her theory is that Cruz plays the bad guy so all the other Republicans can pretend its just him while voting with him at the same time. His bonus is all that outside money that comes from the reactionary right will be funneled to him, so he is perfectly happy to have the Establishment Right hate his guts. In theory. And so are they.

I mean, he makes Coburn, King and the other jugaloos look moderate!

It will actually turn out to be surprisingly effective, according to a peak into the future offered by America’s Finest News Source™.

The Panama hat is from Ecuador. Seven years of ivy league education, and he gets one right.

If he is the nominee, I will catch a Greyhound so I can watch the election results from, say, International Falls (You’ve heard passing reference to its winter climate, its where naturally produced liquid oxygen is from…). That way, I can be over the border before the Canadians close it.

Turns out when you apply for ACA health insurance, you can register to vote at the same time – and the GOP don’t LIKE that!

Boustany’s letter of protest (pdf).

I’ve started a GD thread. Issues for debate there:

  1. So – can/must they do that? Are these health-care exchanges government agencies, or are they not?

  2. Waitaminnit, Congressman – if “The position of the question could lead some to think voter registration is somehow tied to healthcare eligibility” – where’s the harm in that? All good patriotic Americans like you and me, concerned with the civic health of our great republic, which of course depends on maximum citizen participation in it, want all eligible citizens to register to vote – don’t we? Eh?! [prods Boustany’s chest with index finger repeatedly] Eh?!

Been wondering why your neighbor’s dogs started acting like they heard something?

Arizona Republican National Committeeman Bruce Ash:

“Shucking and jiving” is a slavery-era term…"

It is? Wiki is ambivalent, but here is a droll bit I surely did not know!

The inevitable Wiki

That’s not really a dog whistle, though, is it? It’s more just like a bullhorn that someone’s shouting “Hey, dogs, I have something for you!” through.

In other news, Bruce Ash’s Freshman Comp teacher broke a beer bottle and slashed his wrists with the glass…

Who? :confused:

Mick Neddleton. Nice guy, had the misfortune to have to grade young Bruce Ash’s writing.

Once had to try to fix “Some people wonder why I cannot figure out why I believe Napoleon the Pig is teaching the sheep what you enamored of it,” but eventually just wrote “Good luck in your future endeavors, Bruce.”

Nope, green eggs are a real thing, and they’re pretty good.

I think it’s partly the diet of the layer that gives them that color.

Or did you think the ham was green too?

Of all the petty stupidity… Ari Flescher thinks Obama gets more than 140 chars on twitter because he miscounted.

Dumb da dumb dumb. Dumb da dumb dumb DUMB!

You know what? He’s the POTUS. He can have more than 140 characters on Twitter. Let’s make it one of the perks of the job.

It’s not green eggs with some ham, it’s green eggs and green ham. Cite.

That’s weird. Is it from Vulcan?

On Vulcan, chickens don’t lay ovoid eggs, but cubes. They have a noticeably poor attitude towards life, as well.

Forget Obama’s dictator-like illegal seizure of Twitter characters, look at his incredibly racist imitation of a chinese person he’s doing in the photo! Jesus Christ, this mad bigot is all but peeing in someones Coke!
