Murder For Thee, Ok For Me

Headline: Pro-Life Congressman Pressured Mistress To Get An Abortion.

He is of course a Republican.

More GOP Equals Less Voting

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio's election chief is appealing a ruling by a federal court that reinstates the final three early voting days in the battleground state.

Secretary of State Jon Husted (HYOO'-sted) said Tuesday he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to make the final decision on whether the state Legislature or federal courts should set Ohio election laws.

Husted called Friday's decision by a federal appeals court "an unprecedented intrusion" into how states run elections.

And we call Husted actions an unprecedented assault on democracy and a naked attempt to suppress the vote and steal an election.  This guy is not fit to serve in a government by the people.  On a more personal note, he's a total scumbag.

Can't Stand the Heat

Raw Story: After recently promising to end funding for beloved Sesame Street character Big Bird, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is now refusing to take questions from children on a Nickelodeon special, Kids Pick the President: The Candidates.

Although both then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) appeared on the special in 2008, only Obama has agreed to participate this year, the network said on Monday. 

What a wus.  How is this assclown going to stand up to Al Queda when he doesn't even have the guts to take questions from kids.   Hell, maybe he thought one of them might ask how he can justify massive tax cuts for the rich and the transnational corporation while axing Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.  Yeah, perhaps best he only takes questions from mega-rich donors.  Kids he can't handle. 

The Confederate States Of Jesus America Party

Americablog:  Charles Fuqua is a Republican candidate for the US House from Arkansas, and he wants to expel all Muslims from the United States.

Charles Fuqua of Batesville, Arkansas, is currently seeking a House of Representatives seat. His e-book “God’s Law: The Only Political Solution” came out in April on Amazon.”I see no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States,” he writes in his book, according to The Arkansas Times newspaper.

Another Arkansas Republican thinks slavery was a “blessing” for blacks.

In his book, [state representative Jon] Hubbard says “…the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established on the face of the Earth.”

First of all, anybody who says God's law is the only law is not fit to serve in a government who's laws are based on the constitution. If you're for a system that's not based on a few people's purported religious beliefs, it's very dangerous to have people like that around.  It's very dangerous to vote for them or for their political party. 

Second, the base of the Republican party is racist.  It's that way because they deliberately built it like that.  If you have any doubt, take a drive around the south and have a look around.  There's a reason these people chose the confederate flag over the American flag.

Bottom line:  if you're a racist, vote GOP.  If you want to replace the constitution with the bible, vote GOP.  If not, and you vote GOP anyway, you're playing a very dangerous game.

Don't - Fuck - With - Big - Bird

Huffington Post: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney may have some ground to make up before November if he hopes to gain more support among female voters, a majority of whom have consistently shunned him in the polls. But his comments during Wednesday's debate about cutting funding to PBS are not likely to do the trick. 

"I like PBS. I love Big Bird," Romney said. "But I am not going to keep spending money on things [we have] to borrow money from China to pay for."

The comment provoked a strong, emotional reaction among some parents. "As a mother of two young girls (5 and 7) raised on PBS, my jaw dropped when Romney made that statement," Liz Gumbinner wrote to The Huffington Post. "The more I thought about it, I went from shock to outrage. It alienated an entire nation of parents." 

Willard said it's not right to borrow money from China to subsidize PBS.  But we can borrow far more money from China for massive tax cuts for the rich, subsidies for oil companies, and horrific, counter productive wars.  We can borrow money from China to bail out Willard's Wall Street billionaire buddies.  But when it comes to Sesame Street, well, you heard the man, Big Bird, and Oscar the Grouch, they all get the axe.  Hopefully enough parents and other people who are not total scumbags will vote to keep Mitt - Montgomery Burns - Romney out of the Whitehouse and far away from Big Bird.  And oh yeah, pay your fucking taxes Mitt.  Help us pay for the national treasure that is public broadcasting. Deadbeat.

Bin Ladin, Bitches

Raw Story:  A big-name Hollywood fundraiser for Barack Obama is releasing the first feature film about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden two days before the US presidential election...  In a trailer posted online Friday, characters are heard saying “We’re going to be the team that takes out Osama” and “the president of the United States is going to be staking his presidency on this call.”

Obama won't politicize this, but we will.

Obama got Osama Bin Ladin you stinking right-wing slugs.  Yeah that's right.  Your boy dubya and his puppeteer Dick Cheney lied and cheated to invade Iraq (and got 40,000 American soldiers killed or maimed in the process) but President Barak Obama got the guy that did 9/11. It was one of the most courageous calls any president has ever made.  And he did stake his presidency on it.  And Romney did say he wouldn't risk it. And Osama Bin Ladin is dead.  You chickenhawk little bitches...

Percents

WASHINGTON  -- Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, share a similarly dim view of a very large portion of Americans, according to previously unreported remarks by Ryan. Both believe that many of their fellow citizens are dependent on government and have no motivation to improve their lives -- but they disagree over the precise number.

Romney's estimate, famously, is 47 percent. For Ryan, it's 30 percent. 

"Seventy percent of Americans want the American dream. They believe in the American idea. Only 30 percent want the welfare state," Ryan said. "Before too long, we could become a society where the net majority of Americans are takers, not makers." (It's not definitively clear whether Ryan said "the welfare state" or "their welfare state." HuffPost originally transcribed it as "their welfare state." Regardless, the comment was made in reference to people on government assistance.)

Ok, let's play the percent game.  25% of the electorate or 99% of the Republican base is racist.  Thanks for playing.
