Sometimes there's just so many, I can't resist:

Republican candidate for South Dakota’s open Senate seat Annette Bosworth posted this on her Facebook page:

Yep, that’s right, she's comparing foodstamp recipients to animals. Given that 83% of foodstamps go to children, veterans, and the elderly and 900,000 veterans rely on foodstamps to feed their families ( http://cfbsnapchallenge.org/?page_id=975), I guess she's saying that unless they can forage for food in the forest like the animals do, we should let them starve.

==================================
We can always count on Louie Gohmert for a "laugh". Referring to the CNN story about a “secret list” at a Phoenix veterans hospital, which was allegedly designed to hide the fact that patients weren’t getting care. 40 veterans died as a result. The situation is being investigated, but according to Gohmert, it's about Obamacare:

Quote:
“This is where socialized medicine always goes and some of our friends say, ‘We don’t have to worry about Obamacare, it will fall of its own weight.’ No, it doesn’t. Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people’s money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So, you don’t go broke.” http://aattp.org/tea-party-lunatic-obamacare-puts-you-on-lists-to-die-
video/

He went on to ramble about…you guessed it, Benghazi…and to try and make a connection to the South Korean ferry tragedy (oh, and the IRS scandal, too):

Quote:
“In this administration nobody pays the price. They get reassigned, they get a better job…” Gohmert rambled, “Did you see what happened in South Korea? It was so atrocious. We shouldn’t have to wait until 2016 to get justice here because if our Speaker will step up to the plate — allow us to have a select committee on Benghazi so we can get to the bottom of that, allow us to have a select committee to get the bottom of what has been happening at the VA under this administration and any other administration… and then also to have a special prosecutor set up to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal.”Same

================================

It's almost unfair to mention Glenn Beck, he's so predictable. But what the heck…From his radio show Tuesday:

Quote:
One of Beck's guests pointed out that Clinton "came out" in favor of gay marriage last year—phrasing that Beck seized upon with aplomb.

"Hillary came out last year?" he asked incredulously. "Because I didn't think that had been officially ...," he trailed off.

Beck continued with a quip about Clinton's hypothetical sexual relations in the Oval Office.

"I'm telling you, Hillary Clinton will be having sex with a woman on the White House desk if it becomes popular," he said, to his colleagues' chuckles. "She will be! She'll be like, 'Look, the arc of history wasn't ready for a president to be a lesbian and have sex on the desk.' " http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/glenn-beck-hillary-clinton-wou

Iowa's Candidates for U.S. Senate Pledge to Block Judges Who Don't Follow 'Biblical Law'

During a Q & A session regarding criteria for confirming federal judges at a debate hosted by The Family Leader (one of those powerful GOP pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-life organizations that demand allegiance from its bought campaigning Republican candidates), Iowa’s Republican candidates for U.S. Senate declared that they would immediately block the nomination of a judge who did not have a “biblical view” of justice.

I disagree Chris - it just shows how the crazies are more inclined to seek public office, to try and create change and policy than sensical, modern, progressive folk. Sorry, no punchline, it's the country we live in right now - nuckin' futters have more ambition, more scratch, try harder. And if they take the initiative and regular people (who are they any more?) don't, then isn't it Right and Democratic that the Nutters should rule?

I disagree, the nuckin' futters don't have more ambition. They appear to be gaining more power but the reason is not always discussed. It is due to juryman during. When you change your district lines to exclude people who don't agree with you then what remains is only those nuts in your district. Then you become a slave to those very nuts because they outnumber everyone else.

The Republicans, especially John Boehner, are learning this the hard way.

..."juryman during"? Mikers, d'ja mean "gerrymandering"? I'm kinda guessing that's what you mean, given your description, and yeah, it's part of the problem. But both sides have always done that; the GOP got real smart about it, last time around, granted, and they got smart by focusing on statewide offices, where the Dems certainly dropped the ball big time, too. But there's also all that, you know, MONEY floating around, and Citizens United, and ALEC, and FauxNews, which I think have something to do with it... Just sayin'... ;-)

Personally, I think it might also have something to do with the mentality of the country, which as I see it hasn't been improving (or getting more educated!) for some time now... I disagree with G, I don't think it's "right" or democratic that they should wield the power they do, I think it's a damned shame and an embarrassment for our country.

After Getting Bad Ratings News, Limbaugh Tries To Prove "Ratings Don't Matter"

He's been in meltdown mode for a long time. Not for much longer, it seems.

I don't see why pointing out growing dependency is a bad thing. Hardly 'crazy', at all.

Palin got smacked pretty good by the RIGHT for comparing Baptism to water-boarding. As well she should. It was a stupid thing to say. " Crazy " ? Hardly. And when " the Right " goes and rejects such comments, I find it hardly fair to cast a shadow on the entire group for something she said.

You really want to go down this road, w/ crazy ass stuff from Leftists say, and how that reflects on ALL the Left ?

She was the chosen darling of the Right, a VP candidate no less, YES, her comments reflect on them, and in their panic they finally realize how detrimental she is.
