Need Bodies

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday told a high school senior not to expect any help from the government for college tuition unless he joined the military.

So when he and his fellow Republicans lie us into yet another Iraq he'll have 40,000 more American kids to kill and maim. To run dishonest, counter productive, devastating wars you need to sacrifice a lot of people. And coercion is basically the only way to get people to participate. Call this an economic draft. Of course leaders that aren't horrible human beings, leaders that are interested in investing in America's future instead of enriching their crony war-profiteering buddies, would simply invest in education.

Doomsday Clock Jocks

Raw Story: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday warned an 11-year-old boy that the world would be one step closer to nuclear war if President Barack Obama was allowed another term in office.

The reality is we're many steps closer due to the fact the highest levels of the Republican party deliberately burned the spy network keeping track of loose WMD. And a few more yet because that same GOP wasted trillions of dollars worth of precious self defense resource in Iraq, and turned Al Queda from a few hundred folks running around the mountains of Afghanistan into a global brand. That's Mitt's Republican party. That's history.

We're Just Like You

Ann Romney today on Fox News. “We can be poor in spirit, and I don’t even consider myself wealthy which is an interesting thing."

The Romney's are worth over 200 million dollars... not-considered-wealthy in Romney world. Did you get that? It would be dangerous to let people like this run the country. To begin with, they have a rather lose grip on reality.

Party Of God

TPM: Before you can join the Laurens County Republican Party in South Carolina and get on the primary ballot, they ask that you pledge that you’ve never ever had pre-marital sex — and that you will never ever look at porn again.

What is this, Iran? We suppose people call them the American Taliban for a reason. This is your Republican party. And they don't belong anywhere near public service (at least not in this country).

Speaking Ill Of The Illest

Politico: Andrew Breitbart, a Washington Times columnist who oversees Breitbart.com and BigHollywood.com, tapped into the anti-Kennedy vein in the hours after the senator’s death was announced, posting a series of Twitter messages in which he called Kennedy a “villain,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.”

"I'm more than willing to go off decorum to ensure THIS MAN is not beatified,” Breitbart wrote. “Sorry, he destroyed lives. And he knew it."

And now he's dead. Too bad for him that asshole sold his soul to the devil. We're sure the payment came up quicker than he thought.

The Business Of Being Corrupt

Rick Santorum on Limbaugh:

“He’s being absurd, but that’s you know, an entertainer can be absurd. He’s in a very different business than I am.”

Yeah? What business are you in Rick?

Defamation

Think Progress: Relentless attacks on the Chevy Volt from Rush Limbaugh and Republican politicians have taken their toll, as General Motors has announced a five-week suspension in production of the range-extended electric car. Conservative enemies of clean energy and the Obama administration seized on isolated reports Volts with battery fires, calling the cars “Obama-mandated death traps.” Limbaugh even said GM was a “corporation that’s trying to kill its customers.”

These conspiracy-tinged partisan attacks have now cost American jobs, with 1300 workers temporarily laid off in the face of lower than expected demand for the innovative cars, even as gas prices rise. In January, GM CEO Dan Akerson bemoaned the effect of the barrage of ideological criticism on the popularity of the 37 – 93 mpg car:

We did not design the Volt to become a political punching bag and that’s what it’s become.

Oh, and about those attacks? After an investigation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined that the Volt is just as safe as any gasoline-powered vehicle on the road.

Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting piece of garbage. If there is a hell, there is no doubt that's where he'll end up. GM should sue his fat ass. And what's up with Republicans trying destroy GM? First Mitt and now this? Are they getting paid by Toyota or something?
