The Party of God

TPM: At a campaign stop on Thursday, Kentucky Republican gubernatorial candidate David Williams, who is also president of the state Senate, took some more time to explain what he called “a little controversy that’s happened” — and called upon Hindus to come to Jesus.

The controversy in question, of course, is Williams’s attack on Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear participating in a Hindu religious ceremony at the groundbreaking for a factory run by an Indian company.

If you're a evangelical Christian who believes this country was founded by Christians and is only for Christians, and you believe religious law should replace secular government by the people, you should vote Republican. If not, it's rather dangerous to do so.

Hitler Would Agree

Texas Republican state Rep. Larry Taylor has apologized for urging an insurance association to do right by policy holders and not "Jew them down" at a hearing earlier this week.

Why apologize? That's the way he feels. He agrees with Hitlers' propaganda and is a member of a political party that makes common cause with modern day Nazis. Look, for 40 years the Republican party has been a haven for racists and bigots. The historical evidence is undeniable. They pimp Israel only to try and get some US Jews to vote their way and to pander to their radical Christian base who only want to keep it away from Muslims before Jesus returns and sends all the Jews to hell. Any Jew thinking of voting GOP would do well to remember that.

Medicareless

Washington Post: Mitt Romney on Friday unveiled a plan to fundamentally re-shape Medicare, tackling one of the 2012 presidential contest’s most delicate issues before a skeptical crowd of tea party activists. [...]

Romney’s plan is similar to the controversial proposal released by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan earlier in the year. He hasn’t finalized many details, but the federal government would no longer pay for all Medicare patients’ health-care costs under a Romney system. Instead, it would offer future recipients a set amount of money to be used for a private insurance plan or a version of the traditional program.

Mitt Romney wants to kill Medicare. Pass the word.

Fine, Have It Your Way

Raw Story: An unemployed supporter of the the tea party lost his cool at an event for Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren (D) Wednesday night, calling her a “socialist whore "

Let him starve. Society shouldn't lift a socialist finger to help this ingrate.

Best They Not Talk About That

Coulter: GOP Blacks Much Better

Gutter Truth: Yeah, all four of them.

Make Them Less Than 1/3 Or Else

Raw Story: Democratic Sens. Tom Udall of New Mexico and Michael Bennet of Colorado introduced a constitutional amendment on Tuesday that would overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission

The decision gave corporations and unions the ability to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections, so long as their actions are not coordinated with a candidate’s campaign.

Sens. Tom Harkin (D-IA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) have co-sponsored the legislation.

We can tell you right now every Republican will be against this constitutional amendment, and thus it will not pass. At least not until the voters make sure there are less than 33 GOP senators. If the Democrats go to the mat on this, and keep at it, they can make that happen. For the sake of our country, here's hoping they do.

Attack Back

Think Progress Headline: Under New GOP Law, Florida Teacher Faces Huge Fines For Crime Of Registering Students To Vote

The institutional Republican effort to steal elections by systematically disenfranchising core Democratic constituencies should be met with criminal prosecutions, lawsuits (what's the right to vote worth? Some disenfranchised Americans should sue the GOP and find out), recalls, and most importantly, complete rejection of the GOP by the electorate. This war on voters is an attack on all Americans, regardless of political affiliation. Anybody who values democracy would do well to remember that come election day (assuming you're still eligible to vote).
