The Obnoxious Odor of Mendacity

Amidst the GOP's determination to enact tough voter ID laws claiming that such the legislation is needed to combat voter fraud comes this Los Angeles Times report on GOP voter fraud: More problematic GOP voter forms are found in Florida.

And it's not like the GOP didn't know what it was doing:

Strategic Allied is run by an Arizona-based consultant and Republican Party activist named Nathan Sproul, who has been dogged by charges in the past that his employees destroyed Democratic registration forms. No charges were ever filed. But his reputation is such that Sproul said RNC officials requested that he set up a new firm so the party would not be publicly linked to the past allegations. The firm was set up at a Virginia address, and Sproul does not show up on the corporate paperwork.

'Nuff said.

Romney admits contempt for half of America

Finally, Romney's come clean and admitted that he has contempt for half the people in the country he wants to lead and wants nothing to do with them or to help them.

More hypocrisy from a Christian Talibanist

I find it remarkable that the guy who wants to dictate his morality over the rest of the country and restrict people's rights to make decisions about their own bodies is claiming that the President—as well as his own fellow GOP rival—wants to take away people's freedoms and tell them how to live.

Typical Christian Talibanist hypocrisy—but also typical fearmongering, which is the only way the extremists feel they can attract attention, rather than having anything positive to say.

Senator Jon Kyl-Convicted Child Molester*

It's amazing after all these years that the child molestation conviction of Jon Kyl, against his own children,* have never been an issue of his serving in the Senate.

It's time to bring these charges to light immediately.

* Not meant to be a factual statement

Class Warfare? FUCK YOU!

It's incredibly unseemly to watch a bunch of rich white men talk about class warfare.

How about the class warfare being waged by the GOP on behalf of the rich and corporations against ordinary working Americans who pay more than their fair share in taxes? A GOP that threatens to take away any safety net they can, including union representation and social security.

If the GOP wants class warfare—much like the race war they are waging against minorities in country—bring it on.

GOP Plans to Help Christian Talibanists Take Over America

Back in the 1960 election, presidential hopeful John F. Kennedy had to prove to voters that he would not be beholden to the Pope.

Yet today, a GOP candidate has secretly pledged to follow the agenda of Christian Talibanists in taking over the U.S.

So much for the separation of church and state.

How the GOP found Jesus....

If there's any proof that fiscal responsibility is based not on ideology but rather political expediency and being in charge of the purse strings, here it is (from the Washington Monthly)...
