GOP Pronouncements Get More crazy Every Day.

[TheMastersNemesis]

From being fired for using contraceptives to using aspirin GOP initiatives get more crazy every day. You have to wonder what is next.

I think the next thing will be women being prosecuted for crossing state lines to get family planning or even an abortion no less. If you live in a state where family planning is non existent or certain procedures are illegal the GOP will probably propose jail time for going to get the procedure where it is legal.

Nothing is too twisted for a republican.

1. I was thinking another might be banning insurance coverage for childbirth, telling women to

have their kids at home because it's their fault they had a child, wanted or not, saying why should insurance companies have to pay for your choices.

8. You're absolutely right. The Bible says that women are supposed to suffer in childbirth.

It might not be a good idea to remind them at this point, however.

2. Think about it - EVERY DAY they get their talking points from a RW media machine controlled

and operated by a disgraced CULTIST - RevMoon (NWO fascist), and by a disgraced phonebugging extortionist - Rupert Murdoch (NWO fascist).

Thanks to the Bushes.

Never let an exchange with a RWer go by without including the FACT that they are only repeating what RevMoon and Murdoch want repeated by their loyal media followers.

3. "The American Economy is Strong"

Remember when McCain ran around announcing that, all the while the market was crashing like '29? He ended up sounding just as crazy as he was.

Now you've got Santorum, and to some extent Romney, running around talking about how the stimulus was a failure, and the jobs situation isn't getting better, and Obama is "making things worse". They are saying this while consumer confidence is on the rise, the markets are up, and employment is going down. It ain't sellin' in Detroit and it may not sell in the general election, if the situation stays nominally on its current trajectory. Even gas prices, which will probably rise over the summer (they always do) may see a "relief" in the fall as we move towards the general election and the GOP will sound like idiots talking about "rising gas prices" when everyone sees them going down.

4. A new twist on the Mann Act--the Wo-Mann Act?

Yeah, it sounds crazy enough for the Extreme Right.

5. Listen to Karen Santorum

talking about women being more interested in jobs, etc., The point will be moot to women how many jobs are available if she is a slave to reproduction and has more children that she wants or can care for. How the hell do they think she will be able to work? Even at my age when I was childless, I had employers asking me when I was going to get married, how many children I wanted, what I would do with them, bla, bla, bla. This was in the 70s and in NYC, BTW. You don't have to go that far back, or in some rural area.

Back to that? Working for women will be MOOT if nobody will hire her based on the fact that she will be giving birth over and over.

6. I'm waiting to Santorum to display stigmata.

Other famous first will be:

First GOP candidate to handle snakes
First GOP candidate to speak in tongues
First GOP candidate to promise faith healing in lieu of "Obamacare"

[EC]

7. And criminal charges for

hysterectamies (sp) or tubal ligations.

9. it is about moving themindset further right..

A post above quoting George Lakoff pointing out that a huge component of this craziness is part of the right's efforts to mainstream radical conservative looniness.

10. Well then it would be a

Federal matter since you would be crossing state lines, call in the FBI (Fertility Birth-er Inquires).

11. Pot leads to DEATH! (Doesn't everything?)

WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told a constituent in favor of legalizing marijuana that he doesn't support the idea because drugs like pot lead to death.

In a Feb. 14 letter to his constituent, McConnell said he has "serious concerns" about legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes, a topic that the constituent had written to him about. He pointed out that the main ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol, is already available in pill form for the treatment of certain illnesses.

He is also "troubled" by the fact that many legalization proposals would make marijuana available to the public "without following the scientific processes" of the Food and Drug Administration, McConnell said.

12. They really have put the crazy on fast forward in this campaign.

It's become a competition to pander to the worst people in the country. You have to wonder how long it will be before some candidate is proposing a "final solution to the liberal problem".
