More hypocrisy and nonsense from the repubs…

Well…have been thinking about this one since last night when I heard of the repubs new talking points on why they rejected expanded background checks for gun purchases…but, first, I wanted to talk about the latest bout of hypocrisy…a breathtaking one, at that, that is coming out of the rpubs these days…you have to remember how many of these teabagger idiots voted against aid for the victims of the storm Sandy on the east coast using excuses upon excuses to punish the supposedly “liberal” east coast for whatever crazy-assed fevered reason they had….and now, we have these same teabagger idiots like Ted Cruz immediately asking for federal aid for the people affected by the fertilizer plant explosion and asking that it be done quickly with no offsets or cuts in spending that ole Eric Cantor asked for for the Sandy victims. The worst part here is that these idiots don’t see the irony in their positions and go their merry way using the government to punish those that will never vote for them.

Oh, the nonsense…the latest talking points that are coming out of the repubs on the rejection of background checks is just as breathtakingly stupid as it can be…it goes something like this: Since the background checks wouldn’t catch every person that shouldn’t have a gun, then we shouldn’t pass any law about them…yep, that’s right, if a law is not airtight it shouldn’t be passed…using that logic, there is no reason to pass any law that criminalizes any behavior….since people still murder, there should be no laws that make it illegal, since people still rob banks, there should be no law against it…you get the point…what a bunch of stupid maroons….maybe if we can ridicule these guys for their stupidity, more people will see it and start to vote them out…we can only hope….geez….

Another reason to hate the Kochs…

Well…it there weren’t already enough reasons to hate the Kochs and their right wing craziness, they have outdone themselves with the latest out of the group they control, Americans for Prosperity. In the past few days, they have sent a letter to all of their pet senators they own warning them to vote against any and all hurricane Sandy relief bills that are now coming through the senate…with the threats included that they will spend millions to defeat anyone who doesn’t toe their line. One of the leaders of the Koch group went so far as to call the aid package a “disgrace” and rebuilding the damaged areas is “not a federal government responsibility…we need to suck it up and be responsible for ourselves..” More crap from billionaires who think the only function for the federal government is to do their bidding and make them rich…what a bunch of assholes…geez…
