funny that tea party patriots have no problem PROFILING Blacks, Muslims, and other not-like-them. Funny that.

Ted Cruz or Rand Paul says something so transcendently horrifying

they already have – many times and almost everyone yawned.

the fact of the matter is that whatever republican poll numbers or electoral losses – its doesn’t matter – they’re won, incredibly. They got the so-called, always tepid opposition to do their dirty work. If that isn’t victory I sure don’t know what is. They’ve captured all of the conversation on their terms no matter what party people like to affix themselves to. Its really, really pathetic…and sad.

sure obama sucks in many ways, but the alternative was still WAY worse.

I wouldn’t be gloating over protest votes or purity votes (or those partaking of abstinence votes) – they only reveal your ignorance of how the system works. Such votes (or abstinence) only help the WORST of the 2 horrible candidates that can actually win. Florida’s ralph nadar voters and Democrat abstainers in 2000 have just as much of the george bush blood and criminality on their hands as bush supporters, but like you, probably have falsely rationalized a false self-judgement of innocence.

it would be good to know how many Medicare-eligible millionaires and billionaires actually have the indecency to use Medicare.

if you accept the axiom that everything Congress passes has some portion of unneeded crap in it (the portion is open to debate from say 25% to 100%), then you realize that the end result of the sequester will be a worse budget condition than before since Congress will be going to the well many times to implement their as-needed patches and will be using each opportunity to slide in their crap.

how people aren’t screaming how Unconstitutional the filibuster is? where are the wingnuts when they could actually be correct about something (or is that the problem, i.e., the cause of their silence on gross Unconstitutionality).

forget obama’s popularity.

1) if the law was popular, republicans would stop trying to repeal it – and they haven’t

2) maybe obama needs to re-look at the Public Option he trashed.

the fundamental characteristic of today’s republican is the complete lack of empathy, and of course empathy is the essential element of human decency. Without empathy, all manner of human indecency arises.

why do these people constantly sell their morals and principles down the tube for electoral success.

you got that wrong – they don’t have any morals or principles, which is why its so easy for them to switch on a dime. They are haters of everything not-like-them, because they are insecure, aurthoitarian, violent, hateful bastards. Demagoging hate is the real republican.. Making exceptions on a personal basis out of their control only demonstrates their vacuous hypocrisy – their complete lack of morals and principles.

So Portman once again confirms that in order for a republican to achieve enlightenment they have to personally experience, either themselves or a close family member every variation a human being can manifest (e.g., being Gay, being non-white, etc.) and every misfortune a human can experience (e.g., being broke, ill, discriminated against, etc.) before they can accept anything not like them.

The most salient characteristic of republicans, the common measure of their universal indecency is their complete absence of empathy – the human characteristic that is the very foundation and essential element of enlightenment.

Today’s republicans are fundamentally monsters – some more poised and refined than others, but from a human perspective – all monsters, because of their absence of empathy.

WTF is the head of Justice doing worrying about economic fallout? Not his job. The A-Hole needs to worry about the law and nothing else.

House Republicans really really really hate new taxes.

this is complete baloney and ignorant of reality and the facts. republicans only “really really really hate new taxes’ ON THE WEALTHY!!!. The fact is that they are doing everything to raise taxes on the poor and working class. What do you think “broaden the base” means? It means making the poor and working class pay more of the overall tax collection amount. What do you think jindal’s proposal to eliminate the income tax in Louisiana and raise the sales tax is all about?

And lets not forget that republicans don’t believe in small government – they believe in HUGE government – they’ve complained about obama’s defense budget INCREASES in the face of drastic recession as not being enough! Their sick “starve the beast” mantra applies only to programs for average Americans. They can’t fall over themselves fast enough stealing working Americans taxes to shovel Americans’ money into the pockets of the ubber wealthy.

ssshhhhheeesssshhh!!! smarter progressives please – stop believing every damn thing republicans dish out! No wonder republicans have had there way for 33 years.

you. need. to. chill! Its just small talk. Breed what you will – nobody, and I do mean nobody gives a fvck. In fact since most are infinitely abysmal parents, creating the cause of almost all of the world’s problems, the fewer psychopaths you spawn, the better.

while its long been clear that a salient personality characteristic (perhaps THE salient characteristic) of conservatives is that they are devoid of empathy. But as bad as that is, evidence continues to indicate that it may be even worse than the absence of empathy, that THE salient personality characteristic of conservatives is sadism. From their pedophilia, to their attacks on the poor and disadvantaged, to their violence as the principle means to get their way, to their obscene hypocrisy, to their oppression of women it is clear that the conservative psyche is severely damaged and in great need of professional help. Non-conservatives ignore that at great peril to humanity.

so the corporate shitheads push to raise the retirement age while they purge older workers from their payrolls in favor of young bloods. That is just effin’ sick.
