Stupid Republican idea of the day

He’s not bright enough to make that joke.

Have you listened to the audio? He’s obviously joking. Unlike the hacks trying to create a Stupid Liberal Idea of the Day thread, we don’t need to pad our post count with nonsense like this. There are plenty of real stupid Republican ideas. Legitimately stupid ideas may make some republicans re-evaluate their political affiliation, but all garbage posts like yours do is make them want to circle wagons to defend against “liberal bias.”

If you say so, but even when he’s serious it sounds like he’s joking.

The contrast with the GOP partisans stoutly defending “voter integrity” by requiring ID was worth pointing out, I thought.

It’s deadly serious, it’s not a game, and we aren’t keeping score, btw. And if we were, post count wouldn’t be the method.

How about this to make up for it. Meet Utah state rep Mike Kennedy:

Apparently he’s opposed to ACA.

And the guy is a doctor. Astonishing.

Seems like kind of a waste of resources to bother killing a the half-person.

He’s right! People die in hospitals! :eek:

Longest thread I’ve ever seen. And still not long enough. Republicans sure are funny. Guess we’ll always have that, at least, if not their actual participation in the democratic form of government.

Bryan Fischer: “If Michelle Obama was serious about fighting a war on obesity, she would tell lesbians to turn straight.”

Clearly, he has not seen the documentary Teenage Lesbian Vampire Stewardesses from Outer Space.

Are we sure they’re not trying to be stupid?

The plot line doesn’t make that clear.

The problem is that the Republicans embrace so many dangerously insane ideas and dangerously insane people that when they make a joke that should be obviously sarcastic, we can’t quite tell…

If they are, at least they can claim success at something. Unmitigated. Wildly successful.

I guess she’d really like to sneak a bunch of Delta Force dudes into Mexico to start some shit, then declare said shit proof that Michoacan yearns to be part of the US and roll in ?
'Cause I ain’t seen Putin doing squat about ISIS.

Michoacan? Hell, I heard a bunch of them Albertans are sick and tired of them Green Party yahoos. And they’ve got beaucoup petro-deposits to boot.

Ted Cruz’s father: "The average black doesn’t understand" that they’d be better off if there were no minimum wage.

(Okay, that’s a bit of a paraphrase that perhaps takes a little too much liberty. What he actually said is that the average black doesn’t understand that increasing the minimum wage would cause unemployment amongst that demographic group to “skyrocket,” and that unemployment in whites and African-Americans were the same before minimum wage laws. That’s why I phrased things that way.)

Entirely true! If you are unemployed, you are equally unemployed regardless of race. There is some stuff that sorta suggests that if you are black, you are more likely to stay unemployed, but at any given moment, the two are entirely equal! The fact that lefties try to make a big deal out of that just shows that liberals are the real racists!

Right, to focus on racial inequality is to focus on race = racist. To focus on economic inequality is to focus on class = classist. Did the Ancien Regime act like this? No.

The Republicans sure keep it classy.

How many times has the minimum wage been raised in the past 70+ years? (rhetorical question)

How many times have conservatives gnashed their teeth and rent their garments, saying that this would result in massive layoffs and price hikes?

How many times has that actually been true?

You’d think they’d shut up and/or find a better argument.
