The Deeply Warm Values and Thoughts of Republicans



















Nevada Senate Race: Tea Nut Conservative Sharron Angle Claims Unemployment Insurance 'Really Doesn't Benefit Anyone'.
Sharron got up one morning and that deep thought - lacking in any actual facts to back it up - came to her like a vision comes to a heat stroke victim. Unemployment Insurance Kept 3.3 Million Americans Out Of Poverty In 2009 . Those crazy lazy unemployed went out to local businesses and blow those benefits on food and bath soap. Angl has spent most of her life working at jobs in the public sector in which she was paid with ?...That's right...tax payer funds.

Mike Pence (R-IN) whines but doesn't do math or have any answers - Deficit Frauds Boehner And Pence Can’t Answer How Tax Cuts For Wealthy Will Be Paid For

GREGORY: This tension that I got out with Leader Boehner. Republicans want more tax cuts seems to me he acknowledged that they’re not paid for and yet at the same time they want tax cuts but they’re so worried about the deficit. How do you resolve that tension?

PENCE: Well I think the way you resolve it is you focus on jobs. …

GREGORY: But congressman, you’re asking Americans to believe that Republicans will have spending discipline when you’re saying extend the tax cuts that aren’t paid for and cut the deficit, how is that a consistent credible message?

PENCE: Well I understand the credibility problem. …

GREGORY: You acknowledge, tax cuts being extended cannot be paid for, it would be borrowed money.

PENCE: Well no I don’t acknowledge that. … I think it’s apples to oranges.

Watch it: Embarrassing video at link.

The reality is that extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy will cost $830 billion over the next ten years and the Republicans — who have made bringing down the deficit one of their signature issues — have no idea how they will pay for them.

Delaware senate candidate conservative Christine O’Donnell has talked about sex, sex and more sex for over twenty years, but no one is allowed to talk about her talking about sex according to right-wing Republican blogger Legal Erection - Talking about one’s views on sex does not equal “sexualizing”

Sarah Palin is the media enforcer. Telling candidates where they can go to get softball questions. That would be because conservatives don't have the backbone to stand up to a real journalist - Fox News contributor Sarah Palin advises GOP candidate O'Donnell to "speak through Fox News" http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201009150072

Colorado Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes Compares His Embellished Undercover Stories To Serpico

Maes originally claimed in campaign material that he had worked undercover with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation on a drugs and gambling operation, and that he was fired when he "got too close to some significant people." A few weeks ago, he was forced to back off parts of his story, after Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) officials told the Post they had no record of working with Maes.
Maes might be distantly related to George W. Bush - preferring to live in a fantasy world where he is the hero. Unfortunatelt this is not a private matter. Like Bush, maes will bring his delusions into how he governs.

Huckabee Opposes Insurance For People With Pre-Existing Conditions

When Republicans attack health care reform, Democrats like to counter by accusing Republicans of wanting to repeal a law that requires insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. According to Republican Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, that's exactly right. People with pre-existing conditions, he explains are like houses that have already burned down.
This is what Jesus would do - at least in Huck's version of the Bible.
