An example of the idea that GOPrs exist merely as a result of bad parenting and stupidity...

1. In most European countries

You pay the price on the shelf because they build the sales tax into the price. That’s probably a better way.
FYI, Norquist is the asshole who said “bipartisanship is date rape.” I always quote that when people suggest we should “reach across the aisle.”

[MrScorpio]

2. Come to think of it, I should have added greed, hypocrisy and selfishness to that list...

Not to mention, paranoia, xenophobia, bigotry and general ignorance.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. it's not polite

It's not polite to reach across the aisle to smack the stupid out. Probably futile, as well.

3. His parents named him after a blue muppet. The sins of the father...

[Solly Mack]

4. Her bedtime stories include one about faeries who build all the roads while she sleeps.

5. The T(oll b)OOTH faries.

[Solly Mack]

6. Cute! Nice!

[marble falls]

7. I get a good one out about once in week. Too bad I peaked at 7:00AM on day one of the week.

[Solly Mack]

8. At least you still peak. I'm in steady decline.

[marble falls]

11. I read your stuff. We should all decline as badly as you!

[Solly Mack]

16. Sounds like a fitting Hobbit toast. I like that a lot.

Thank you.

9. Wasn't that a teaching moment

for the art of the deal?

Missed opportunities.

10. So, you let your daughter think all the social programs that keep her safe are free?

You never once told her how those taxes pay for the police, fire fighters, libraries, her school, her teachers, the roads you drive on, etc? You let your daughter believe a fairy tale that all these things just magically happen for free?

[MrScorpio]

12. Which pretty much demonstrates that libertarians are pieces of shit.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. Or that his namesake, Grover.......

came from Sesame Street, sponsored by the NEA!

[WePurrsevere]

14. Exactly this, and they call 'us' fools... Pfft!

I don't mind paying taxes. What I do mind is the rich and corporations getting out of paying their fair share so that the burden is even greater on the working poor and middle class who now have to make up the difference that the Greedy Old Perverts won't pay their share into the kitty for so we can have services, roads, security, etc that are needed for our communities and nation.

[Trust Buster]

15. Did he explain to his daughter how the roads that they used to get to the music store werepaid for ?

[Garrett78]

17. Saving up. Not savings up. And don't capitalize guitar.

[Duppers]

18. Well, actually...

Some do exist because of bad parenting and stupidity. Most Republican voters aren't rich - they developed personality disorders due to bad parenting.(They're conditioned to believe lies. We've had threads on this.) And, of course, ignorance plays a huge part.
