Let Me Count The Ways

Headline: Amid Flint water crisis, President Obama forced to veto GOP attempt to gut the Clean Water Rule

Whether it's killing your husband in Michigan, your kids in Florida, your dad in Iraq, giving us all cancer or lead poisoning due to air pollution or contaminated water, working overtime to yank your health insurance or sending one of their flock to shoot up your local clinic, the GOP is harbinger of massive death to come on a wide variety of fronts.  As the headline clearly shows, the only thing that's slowing them down is a Democratic president. Best make sure that doesn't change.

Baby Killers

CNN Headline: Florida dumps hospital standards after gifts to GOP

From the link:  "And, after CNN's investigation, the state rushed to the hospital's defense.  Within days, Department of Health spokeswoman Tiffany Cowie told reporters that state data showed St. Mary's mortality rate wasn't nearly as high as CNN had found.  But Cowie didn't mention a crucial detail: The state data she referred to didn't take into account half of the babies' deaths."

Basically, Rick Scott's billionaire buddies in the corporate health-care-for-profit world felt the standards were too expensive.  So they gave a bunch of money to the GOP in Florida, the GOP got rid of the standards, and a bunch of kids died as a result.  These people will kill your kids to make a buck.

A Billion Gallons Of Blood Money

The father of billionaires Charles and David Koch helped the Nazis build a major oil refinery, according to a new book about the rise of wealthy and influential conservative activists.

Well to be fair Prescott Bush was also helping the Nazis in a big way.  Maybe daddy Kock was just trying to keep up.  And oh yeah, he was also getting filthy rich by helping Jospeh Stalin do his thing. 

Seems the wealth that is bankrolling the modern conservative movement (not to mention the preeminent Republican political dynasty of our time) was distilled from the blood of hundreds of millions of murdered and tortured people.  Figures. 

Six More For The Terrorist Watch List

.Raw Story: At least six Republican lawmakers met — against the advice of law enforcement officials — with the armed militants gathered at an Oregon nature preserve…“It’s refreshing to see a representative like Dallas Heard care and lean on the side of citizens, versus our federal government,” Fiore said (R-NV).

There is nothing refreshing about demonizing our government by the people, much less taking up arms against it.  Actually what that is treason and terrorism. And anybody supporting it should be arrested, Republican elected official or not. 

Republicans Created ISIS

CBS News: Leading congressional Republicans pushed President Obama on Sunday to step up America's military operation in Iraq, warning that the limited airstrikes the president authorized this week will not be enough to turn the tide against militants with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Let's be clear, the GOP created ISIS when they lied us into Iraq, de-bathified (de-Sunni'd) the country, handed Iraq and the worlds second largest oil reserves to an Iranian backed Shiite regime, and let the new Shiite power structure beat the hell out of the Sunni's.  The Sunnis ganged up, and this was the birth of ISIS.  Hell, they even paid them to stop blowing up Americans in 2006.  Nobody should ever let any Republican mention ISIS without making all that crystal clear.
