A glimpse inside the Republican "mind"

"Republicans want to take over the House in the fall, but there's a problem: They don't have an agenda.

So on Tuesday, they set out to resolve that shortcoming. They announced that they would solicit suggestions on the Internet, then have members of the public give the ideas a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down."

Really. And- wonder of wonders!- some of the suggestions they've gotten are doozies!

"End Child Labor Laws. We coddle children too much."

"A 'teacher' told my child in class that dolphins were mammals and not fish! We need TRADITIONAL VALUES in all areas of education. If it swims in the water, it is a FISH. Period! End of Story."

"Build a castle-style wall along the border, there is plenty of stone laying around about there."

"Repeal all the amendments to the Constitution."

"Build the city of the future somewhere in a non-inhabit part of the United States, preferably the desert."

They've taken down some already including an early post who said opposing the Arizona immigration law was "hitler." Yes, they used hitler as an adjective.





Americans deserve a megaphone

Funny, but I would venture to guess that some of the real crazy ones are not on the level.

Yes, like the truly inspired Tea Party signs I assume some of them are elaborate parodies of Republican thought...but they amuse me so.

I'm sure many of the them are real, but the ones about making children work in factories and superfast dolphins are as legit as the Fox news poll on DADT.

Ok, the website is a riot. You have to register, and as part of the registration, you have to choose an avatar. The options are faceless males and females quite of quite clearly different ethnicity (PC or subtle demographic study?). Or the final option is to choose a male or female shadow (because those who do not disclose their ethnicity are obviously "shady").

The first "Idea" I saw posted in the Job Creation category was "I want a pony."

Hee!

My company's firewall won't let me go to the sight. They think it's malware. :)

This is my new favorite. Listed under "American Values":

More government in my life. Every aspect. If it means 5 guys in black suits and shades watching me do my wife to ensure there is no buttsx I'm all for it. As long as I get a cut of the profit when they post it on the intertubes.

If it wasn't for the use of capitalized letters, I'd swear papa posted it.

jasonf, that made me laugh out loud. Sadly, I feel like that could be one of the sincere ones.

I'm terrified of the mind that would think THAT is an intelligent thing to say. Even if it's not real, you know there are people reading it, nodding and agreeing.
