We're all talking about them. We're highlighting the rightwing nuts and telling America what the GOP has done to America in the last 30 or more years. But more so what the GOP and those on the right are doing to Americans today. So why are they not hearing us? Why do they dismiss all the facts that are staring them in the face? I believe it's all based on religion. These rightwingers are trusting the party of NO, the party who cares not one bit about middle America, BECAUSE.... they claim to be the party of GOD!! Rightwingers care only that their politicians are "Christians", after that they are blind, deaf and dumb about the policies of the GOP. They claim to care, but how could they when they vote for people like....
Republican Sen. David Vitter, He told a group of supporters last week he is in favor of groups who may want to take President Obama to court over the belief he is not an American citizen.
Sen. Jon Kyl is very concerned about the deficit, he says Pres. Obama is spending trillions of dollars we don't have on things we don't need! BUT, when it comes to tax cuts, specifically the Bush tax cuts for the rich, Kyl says tax cuts never have to be paid for....
Where do I begin with batshit crazy Michelle Bachmann? Yes people adore her and vote for her even after she says things like this.. ....
Bachmann claimed the national health care reform package was implemented, in part, under the auspices of Rahm Emanuel's brother Ezekiel, whom Bachmann, appropriating the claims of Betsy McCaughey, said supported the rationing of medical care to only those who were useful to the federal treasury. Bachmann, extending that claim to the administration, said , "It is about being useful not to you, not to others, but to the United States Treasury.
And her latest... she believes America is turning into "a nation of slaves" because of Barack Obama, Democrats and the new health care law.
Now for the teabagger princess who is trying to unseat Harry Reid, Sharron Angle. She has a huge following, mostly religious fanatics I'm sure.
Over the weekend, Angle participated in an interview with Ralph Reed, the longtime conservative activist, founder of the Christian Coalition, and the man once deemed the "right hand of God" by Time Magazine. And in the course of answering a question about her rise from relative obscurity, the Nevada Republican made a rather bold declaration. Her path to victory, she said, was God's plan.
"I believe that God has been in this from the beginning and because of that when he has a plan and a purpose for your life and you fit into that, what he calls you to he always equipped you for," Angle replied.
She is devoutly pro-life, arguing against abortion in cases of rape and incest because "God has a plan." And she has argued in the past that: "the tenet of the separation of church and state is an unconstitutional doctrine."
There are many, MANY more examples of these rightwing religious candidates, they are running on a platform of God, Guns, and More God. As long as they have their followers and their church congregations bussed to the polls driven by their pastors and preachers, (ya know those tax exempt ones who really should not share their choice for political leaders in their sermons, yea those guys) they will win elections. Sadly the American people are being taken for fools by these wolves in sheeps clothing...

Forgive her Lord for she knows not what she says. ; )
Their God is not my God. Separation of Church and State is not unconstitutional. I will be flabbergasted if Sharron Angle wins. If she does, will she and Michelle Bachmann engage in a crazy-off to determine who is the looniest US Congressperson?
FYI, I recently updated my blog's template -- This is the first major update since starting my blog in 2006. Check it out if you're interested.
Bachmann, my friend. She's doing more for my agenda than I ever could. Let her voice be heard in every last corner of this nation of ours.
Bussed to the polling places?
Sorry, hon, that's a democrat tactic. Give the people living in government housing cigarettes and booze to go pull the lever.
sorry babe, churches made sure the masses came out for Bush in his 2 elections. Sermons were based on it and fear mongering was rampant!!
Wow. Out of everything said in this post, Anon pulls out "Bussed to the polling places"? (She couldn't even get the quote correct. It was "bussed to the polls")
Notice, she is not disputing anything else written because the quotes attributed to these politicians are true. The busing comment is irrelevant. And irrelevancy is the domain of the right-wing wackos.
You cannot dispute the truth. It is obvious that Vitter, Kyl, Bachmann, and Angle are about the craziest, whacked-out politicians around and virtually everything out of their mouths is crap.
Required reading; How the Religious Right is Wrong On the Separation of Church and State. Great book.
Quite true. Many people who vote Republican are doing so contrary to their own economic self-interest. If it weren't for the religious rabble-rousing, a lot of the party's support would evaporate.
While not all Christians are reactionaries, the driving force behind most reactionary social attitudes is religion. Does anyone really think that there would be anything close to as much hostility to abortion, gay equality, sex education, or even the theory of evolution if it weren't for the religion factor?
Her path to victory, she said, was God's plan.
A hazardous assertion. If she loses the election, does that mean God changed his mind or lost a bet with Satan or something?
It means that it was god's plan for her to run and lose, just like it was god's plan to decimate Haiti with an earthquake, decimate New Orleans with a flood (hurricane, kill off the ocean in the gulf with an oil gusher, kill American soldiers in two worthless wars in the Middle East, etc., etc., etc.
Great god you got there!
the truth hurts...

Philadelphia Democrats are anxious that the Obama campaign won't be handing out "street money" for the general election. "Honestly, they'd be crazy not to do it," said one ward leader. What's street money, and who gets it?
Both parties use street money, but it's more common among Democrats, who tend to be better represented in the areas that rely on it.

I often wonder, as I drive behind a beat-up, rusted, door-wired-shut car with a "W" window-cling and a "Jesus' mother wasn't pro-choice" sticker, why they can't see that the GOP's economic policy isn't helping them out.
But I think, by hitching their trickle-down economics to the religious right, they keep pulling folks along whether it is in their best interest to vote Rethug or not, because they feel a moral or religious need to do so. Of course, this is the party that insists there's no separation of church and state, and that pesky little Establishment Clause is just an asterisk.
Great post!
