Tea-Bola Infects The GOP

[meow2u3]

Today's Republican Party is very, very sick. They are exhibiting symptoms of acute cognitive failure and an inability to distinguish fantasy from reality. This severe case of Tea-Bola is what accounts for their insistence that the federal government keep its hands off of Medicare; and their denial of Climate Change despite 97% of scientists affirming it; and their perception of a collapsing economy that has actually grown significantly.

The GOP, driven by its Tea Party caucus, is obsessed with repealing a health insurance reform plan that has resulted in lower costs and a substantial decrease in the number of uninsured Americans. They incessantly shout "Benghazi" as if they were suffering from a perverse form of Tourette's Syndrome. And they want so badly to impeach President Obama that they have forgotten to establish any rationale for such a blatantly deranged legal overreach. Indeed, they are slipping away into wingnut delirium and there doesn't seem to be any cure.

The latest manifestation of the right's raving lunacy is illustrated in a poll conducted by Fox News (who is both suffering from, and spreading Tea-Bola). The Fox poll asked a question that reveals just how on target Jon Stewart was when he yelled at right-wing hypocrites, with exasperation, "Fuck you and your false patriotism." The questions hinges on the notion of secession by one or more states. There have been several episodes of pseudo-patriotic Republicans articulating a desire for the United States to break apart, or for their state to secede. And now we have a survey that puts the matter into partisan perspective.

Tea-Bola!

[gopiscrap]

1. Yup!

2. MSNBC is running a horribly cheesy commercial

for Morning Joke; it's about ebola with quick zooming in on images of ebola workers and the magnified strain, interspersed with more zooming clips of Joe making statements like ebola like "We need to go to war with ebola!" I can't find it anywhere online. It's so cheesy

3. Benghazi-Bola!

4. I suggest they take two aspirin and listen to this classic I listened to as a child at home:

Wait, that woman there! Republicans would foam at the mouth! Although:

NIH: Rabies Vaccine Protects Nonhuman Primates Against Deadly Ebola Virus

Myself, I prefer Bolero to Ebolero. Perhaps they'd be fooled, I don't know.

5. Oh god - Fox News was running on a couple of the multiple TV screens at

the gym I go to regularly, and every time I glanced up at one of those screens, it was "All Ebola, All the time!"

6. I've been figuring that the GOP is going to use scare tactics via Ebola...

to keep voters away from the polls.

8. Naw,...it'll only keep WHITE voters away....

On edit: Oh shit!

Now watch Alex Jones claim Ebola is a scare tactic cooked up by the Obama White House to keep Republicans home.

(As if they weren't voting absentee already)

[C Moon]

9. Yeah, that's what I figured: most GOP are probably voting mail

7. Love the graphic they did for the article....

[world wide wally]

10. Yeah, and from what I keep hearing and reading, everyone is saying they are going to win the

Senate. So I guess it works.
No wonder the US was ranked as the 46th smartest country. I wonder if they cheated to rank us that high.
