Better still she says “sex education classes would help Democrats win elections by ruining marriages.” No misrepresentation of her words, either:
“People say to me, why would they teach such awful things to our children?” Holsten said on the “Understanding the Times” radio show, noted RightWingWatch.org .
“If you go deep down and you connect those dots, you see that when children are desensitized to sexual things, that affects their ability at a later date to bond with a spouse,” added Holsten.
“And so if you have somebody who can’t bond, they’re not going to have a stable marriage. When you have unstable, broken households, how do they vote? Democrat. So this has a very evil underlying intent.”
I like the bit at the end where she laments that there’s no guinea pig porn on the Internet.
Almost as if she had actually looked for some.
I do not hold with foisting drugs upon the unwilling. If I found myself in possession of a dose of acid I could slip into her Mr. Pibb, I would resist the temptation. Successfully, I hope. But I am not at all sure about that.
She hasn’t looked hard enough.
And with that, I propose we create a poll to select the top ten Stupid Republican Ideas. Nominate your favorites, I’ll come up with a poll of 20-30, and we will let the people decide.
That would be like asking me to choose between my children. My stupid, stupid children.
Replacing Medicare with vouchers has to be up there. Let’s make Granny clip coupons so she can afford that hip replacement.

Don’t we have a professional indexer on the boards? We need her!
I’m pretty sure “mentioning rape” is going to occupy at least 8 of the top 10 spots. Naturally, Louie Gohmert will be one of the other two.
The levels of stupid on this issue are so high and general to Republicans it should deserve its own thread.
Both articles left out why the EPA standards are contentious among the political class: it’s not because the proposals are “liberal,” but rather because the Republican party has shifted so far to the right that it now attacks proposals that it once advocated for. Many prominent Republicans supported a cap-and-trade program before Barack Obama was elected president, just as they once supported the individual mandate in Obamacare. In fact, the greenhouse gas emissions cuts that Sen. John McCain proposed during the 2008 election were far more extensive than the EPA’s current proposal. The video below by Media Matters Action Network shows how Republicans used to talk about climate change in ways that they never would today:
As the Republican Party shifted to the right, so too did the conservative media. The Wall Street Journal editorial board previously stated that “the Bush Administration should propose a domestic cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide that could, of course, be easily expanded to Canada and Mexico. And then to Latin America. And then the world.” Now the paper’s editorials deride this conservative idea as “cap-and-tax.” Yet mainstream reporters are often loathe to point out this profound shift, sticking instead to “both-sides-to-blame reporting.”
EPA’s new standards are also similar to Obamacare in that they are more controversial among politicians serving special interests than among the public. Polls of American voters show overwhelming support across party lines for regulating carbon pollution, just as there is significant bipartisan support for most provisions of the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”). Industry groups’ attacks on the EPA’s plan are hardly newsworthy. These same groups have overestimated the cost of action on nearly every policy to address environmental threats, including acid rain.
So, besides McCain and Romney showing how the stupid has swallowed the whole party, the media is also the problem for not reporting that the current Republican party is not what many republican moderates and independents think it is.

Is this more right-wing slippage?
The very first post does not constitute a reply, therefore the 15,001st post is the 15,000th reply.
I don’t have any links, but the right’s attack on both the Bergdahl family and Obama’s efforts at getting him released are just the worst. Whatever the details of his capture turn out to be, lets deal with those separately from the fact that an American soldier is home. And the pundits on Fox talking about how his father looks like the Taliban are just moronic.
Fuck, I hate people.
Ooooh, the redneck Ayatollah!
