Republicans never want to answer that question.
Yeah they do. “The Constitution”.
Which means they should also get medical care from 1776.
Bite that stick real hard when the saw hits that leg bone!

Nice try, but it is a Republican issue. Record numbers of filibusters and basically zero compromise or effort of any sort to not only work with Democrats, but come up with your own legislation even!
A complete political clusterfuck? You definitely built that!

Here, have some delicious post-election schadenfreude, in the form of this PPP poll
49% of those identifying as Republican said they think ACORN stole the 2012 election for Obama, but still pretty high given that ACORN ceased to exist several years ago. 25% of Republicans also say they would like their state to secede from the union. Meanwhile, 25% of all Americans claim to either support or oppose something called the “Panetta/Burns deficit reduction plan”, which doesn’t exist either.

The Real Romney - Another secret recording shows what Romney really thinks about minorities, birth control, and public assistance.
In a new recording of a conference call that took place yesterday, Romney told his contributors that Obama’s strategy was to “focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote.” These gifts, Romney lamented, “add up to trillions of dollars” and were delivered to “targeted groups,” “especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community and young people”
I just can’t with this. Things like education and access to decent health care aren’t “gifts”, they’re basic human rights. The wars in the Middle East have also cost untold trillions. Of course I don’t see them complaining about that….

"They (Hispanics) should be a natural Republican constituency: striving immigrant community, religious, Catholic, family-oriented, and socially conservative (on abortion, for example). The principal reason they go Democratic is the issue of illegal immigrants. In securing the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney made the strategic error of (unnecessarily) going to the right of Rick Perry."
Missing the point forever. Yes, immigration is a big issue but the OTHER issue is your parties’ systemic racism. Until they understand that the very way they speak about Hispanic communities and immigrants is by and large racist they will make no headway. (via bricksandmortarandchewinggum)
…because immigrant community/family-oriented and “illegal immigrants” are mutually exclusive concepts. Undocumented people don’t have families and aren’t part of communities, so failing to parse them is a strategic error.

The GOP is assuming people who voted Democratic are single issue voters apparently. So now it seems, while trying their version of “inclusive” to figure out where they fucked up, women voted for their lady parts and Latin@s votes because of immigration? Are they just gonna come out and say Black people only voted for Obama because he’s Black?
BTW I wish more people would write about the Asian vote too, especially since the Asian community is so varied in the US.

"Let’s not kid ourselves about just how cheap offshore labor really is. We not only pay substantially less per hour, we also avoid the costs we would incur if these workers immigrated here. We don’t pay for their medical expenses when they show up in the emergency room without insurance. We don’t pay for their pension costs if they don’t save for retirement. We don’t pay for their children’s public education. Nor do we pay for their out-of-wedlock children, their unemployment benefits and workers’ compensation, their slip and fall torts, their wear and tear on our public infrastructure, and the cost of their drunk driving, drug use and other crimes. We outsource pollution, its adverse effects on our health, and its clean-up costs. Neither the employees nor their employers are here to vote and seek political handouts."
Former Bain Capital partner and Mitt Romney supporter Edward Conard extols the virtues of “cheap offshore labor” in his book “Unintended Consequences.” Conard was for a long time the head of the manufacturing practice at Bain Capital. As we speak, Sensata Technologies, which is owned by Bain Capital, is preparing to offshore 170 jobs from a manufacturing plant in Freeport, Illinois to China. (via upwithchris)

Yep.
he was the least ridiculous. and he’s pretty fucking ridiclous
Mitt Romney was the least fucking ridiculous person the Republican Party could offer for this election.
Let that sink in.
I’ve been saying a variation on this for months: Romney was the best they could do, and he’s awful.

I AM SHOCKED
In other news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and the earth has a gravitational field.
Republicans won’t care anyway, because Science is for Commie-Pinko Socialist Euro-fags from San Francisco who east sushi.
Here, have an Anchorman GIF to go with your facepalming.

Romneycare vs. Obamacare
It amazes me that most Americans don’t seem to know this. Romneycare has resulted in coverage of 98 percent of the citizens of Massachusetts. Only about one percent of small businesses opt out. The idea that it’s a states rights thing has been blown away by the Supremes. That Mitt is running against his own successful health care plan is proof of the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the Republican platform. The Republican party stands for nothing other than keeping taxes low on rich people.
And continued oppression of women and minorities. Don’t forget that…it’s kind of important.

Silly facts. Someone explain to me again why the GOP keeps re-animating Zombie Reagan every other day?
The GOP doesn’t really like facts anyway.

My lifevest’s attached, I’m ready to go
I’m floating here, just off your dock
I hate to nudge you and say, “Let’s awake!”
But dawn has broken, it’s afternoon
We’ve slept all day in our mansion’s room
And all I want to do is hit the lake!
So kiss me, then put this vest on
Yes it’s yours — initials sewn!
If we both flip over, least we’ll float.
‘Cause we’re leaving on a jet ski
Healthcare reform — not that again!
Oh this is way better than a boat!
Yes we’re leaving on a jet ski
We’ll fight Obamacare and then
We’ll get to building our moat…
President Obama takes a week-long vacation and plays some golf: he’s a lazy elitist useles piece of shit according to the neocons.
This? If you even just put up a photo like this, you’re “inciting class warfare”.
That’s a fucking ginormous jetski though. I wonder if they have an elevator in their house for all their jetski’s too.

deliciouskaek:complexication:stfuconservatives:
Spoiler alert: his proposal also includes moving the food stamp program from a federal program to a state-by-state one.
“The cuts would result in an average benefit cut of $90 per month for nearly a half a million households, according to Congressional Budget Office.”
I am eagerly awaiting his proposal to cut hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate subsidies, since at least one company out there has abused them. Because if we find one exception, it means we need to overhaul the entire program, right?
I fucking hate my senator. So much.
The Congressional Budget Office didn’t finish the sentence. Allow me:
“The cuts would result in an average benefit cut of $90 per month for nearly a half a million households who are already practically starving.”

Arkansas Tea Party rally kicked off with racial “icebreaker” joke.
Michael Cook at Talk Business reports on the warm reception a speaker received at a recent Ozark Tea Party rally June 9 in Mountain Home for telling this “icebreaker” joke in her approximation of black dialect:
A black kid asks his mom, ‘Mama, what’s a democracy?’“‘Well, son, that be when white folks work every day so us po’ folks can get all our benefits.’
“‘But mama, don’t the white folk get mad about that?’
“‘They sho do, son. They sho do. And that’s called racism.’”
The Baxter Bulletin, which covered the event, captured audio of the episode and reported that the crowd laughed heartily at Tea Party Board member Inge Marler. Afterward, one Tea Partyer, the local group’s founder Richard Caster, told a questioning reporter the joke was in bad taste. Marler also told the newspaper she regretted telling the joke (after being called on it), saying she found it on the Internet. (The Devil made her do it?)
Remember that item the other day about a study that found that the geographic likelihood of people Googling for terms like “n***er joke” tended to correlate with anti-Obama voting patterns?
Some 500 were on hand for the Baxter County gathering. The audience included Sen. Missy Irvin (R-ALEC), who sent out a Tweet from the event: “Great rally this afternoon for the Ozark Tea Party in Baxter County. Great job @RichardCaster!” Cook has called on all the Republican politicians in that area to repudiate Ms. Marler. I’d be happy to add the words of any who’d choose to do so. Or defend Marler, for that matter.
PS — A politician doesn’t face much risk telling race jokes in Baxter County, where the population is .2 percent black.
PPS — There are more white people on welfare than black people.
