Honestly... The repugs are coming out with a frightening amount of stupid that just seems to keep getting larger. I just can't keep track of it all anymore.

1. Better off if you don't try. It is only insanity anyway. Unfortunately

not temporary insanity.
It is parroting. Just repeating whatever ignorant pablum is spooned out on talk radio.

3. We almost need a "Worst Persons of the Hour" to keep up with the idiots.
Every time I think they can't do anything more stupid, they prove me wrong.


Which reminds me of a tweet I saw a little while ago and was wondering if I should post here, though I wasn't sure I should start a new thread for it. A reply here is perfect, though:


JustPlainTiredO No one you know
Dumb and Dumber movie remake is in the works. Walker and Kasich asked to star in. No need to audition, the qualify. #wiunion #ohunion

4. I have a theory - that the Repugs know the rank-and-file are growing tired of GOP policies
Edited on Fri Mar-04-11 10:05 PM by reformist2
So, the GOP has to ratchet up the crazy-talk more and more just to keep the flock from bolting!

5. This afternoon, I was flipping channels...
...First, I stumbled upon Fox News and watched that for less than five minutes.

Then I came across "Gasland" on HBO and watched that for 30 minutes.

Then, I stopped at CNBC for a while and heard the elites and the stock market movers-and-shakers telling everyone
about all of the great "buying opportunies" in oil stocks and also bank stocks. Apparently, they're doing very
well in these challenging times.

I flipped again and found a CNN talking head discussing the high gas prices and soaring food prices--both of which
are expected to continue to rise.

Then, I turned off the tv, curled up in a fetal position and rocked back and forth with my ba ba for an hour or so.

Seriously. Can you blame me?

8. No. I don't.
But sweetie, you can't stay that way. A couple of hugs, a kiss or two where it hurts, and you just have to get up and fight back.

I realize it's really, really hard.

9. I've done that in the middle of the night if I can't sleep. I'm frightened by all of
the stupid on the TV channels in the middle of the night. I often wonder who watches this sh**. It's one lame infomercial after another. And then there's the news. No wonder this country is F'ed up.

No, can't blame you at all.

6. I have to agree
I beginning to ask myself, if conservatives are so misguided, what is the point of trying to set them straight on things?

7. It's endless, isn't it. Often why I call the US United Stupidity. I think we have a
viral infection going on unleashed by the republican operatives, the Stupid Virus.

10. They are post-ironic, uber-absurdist, totally through the looking glass.
Edited on Fri Mar-04-11 10:35 PM by valerief
They give the word ridiculous a new meaning.

12. Don't even try to keep track of it all...only a few things matter.
Give it a day and see what is still going on. But I don't know what to do about the things that continue.
