Stupid Republican idea of the day

A neat little roundup of conservative pundits warning Republicans to stop governing and start obstructing, and that the shutdown was totally a good idea.

The more moderate view is that the Republicans should try to get whatever concessions they can before impeachment proceedings actually begin.

Good old Billo, he can always be counted on for some nice, steaming stupid: on his show, out-loud-like, he said that Republicans are afraid of black people. Tastiest part of this well-aged morsel? The person sitting there listening to him say it: Tavis Smiley.

The vigilant watchdogs at Breitbart have got the goods on Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch…

…or at least they’ve got the goods an a Loretta Lynch…

:smack: :smack: :rolleyes:

Oh, well, there’s a bright side – the folks at Breitbart can run photos of the two Loretta Lynches as evidence that they, like Stephen Colbert, don’t see race. :stuck_out_tongue:

Obama ought to really tie them in knots by finding somebody named “John Smith” to nominate to something… :smiley:

Better yet - see if he can find someone named “Ronald Reagan” and watch their heads explode.

Wait, I’m confused, when did they *start *governing ?

Scott Walker in Wisconsin wants to drug-test applicants for food stamps and jobless benefits. Even though when Florida tried that, the courts struck it down. What’s more:

…but the drug testing company made lots of money, right? Mission accomplished!

The 97% who failed to fail the test did not have to pony up, so Florida was stuck with a big testing bill – and, of course, they would have to collect the testing fee from now very destitute persons. Much simpler to just charge everyone for their test, regardless of the result.

Ted Cruz (Jesus Roosevelt Christ the guy’s an asshole) tweets:“Net Neutrality” is Obamacare for the Internet;
a. “Obamacare” is such an amazingly crap term for the ACA. Makes my blood boil just hearing it. and…
b. sucking up to your campaign contributors much?

That there’s a man cut from Presidential timber. How I hope the GOP runs hard with an anti-Net Neutrality stance. Do it! Do it!

Not so fast; we should test that hypothesis.

Anybody got an axe?

Ted is gonna be the gift that keeps on giving. Mitch McConnell will age ten years in the next six months.

Let’s see, aging 10 years in six months means that by 2016 he’ll be 40 years older which would make him 112 or so. He’ll probably be dead of old age well before then.

Knowing Mitch, Ted’s more likely to come out with gray hair. McCOnnell’s a pretty cool customer. I kinda wanted him to go away in this election, but I have to admit, no one’s better at making deals with the Democrats on one hand while putting the extremists in their place on the other like Mitch.

Maybe Ted will teach him the trick of rising at night to feed on the blood of the living.

I thought that was Tom Delay’s shtick? On another board a poster once wrote, “I can imagine the invisible maggots that fall out of Tom Delay’s mouth every time he speaks.”

That’s middle age for a tortoise.

You mean like where they belong? He can do that? Shit, from now on, I’m calling him “Sir”!

I mean simply by denying them any wins. He can’t fire anyone, of course. I just don’t think Ted Cruz is ever going to outmaneuver McConnell.
