Be Very Afraid

What do the current Republicans have that they are running for?
What policies do they have which they are in support?

Or are they simply running against something?

The party that wants to kill government?
The party that wants to end women's rights?
The party that wants to kill voter's rights?
The party that wants to hand the keys of our country to the wealthy corporations?
The party that wants everybody to be afraid of black people?


Are they now officially the party of fear?


Apparently so...



Be afraid!  In just two years, this country will turn into some dystopian, awful, post apocalyptic hell hole.  And it will all be because of that big, scary, Kenyan usurper, Muslim president.

Don't you see?  Being black is bad.  Shit, being half black is bad.  Being Muslim is bad.  Even being a fake Muslim is bad!  He stole the presidency, just so he could ruin this country with his failed policies.

It's SCARY.

Meanwhile, the rest of America wants to know.  Hey Republicans, what are you doing about jobs?  What are you doing about the environment?  What are you going to do about our failing transportation system?

Or are you just going to focus on taking away a woman's rights to her body?  Is that the solution to everything right now?

Oh I forgot, the solution to the country's problems is to be AFRAID.

PEACE


p.s.  Bonus points if you can point out the very very subtle subliminal messaging in the Rick Santorum advertisement.

Santorum's Theocracy

Make no doubt about it, when Santorum is talking about his policies, they come from his religion.  And make no doubt about it, he intends to turn this country into a theocracy should he become president.

Watch this little piece and try to become aware of what he means when he says these things.  When he talks about one man's Christianity not being as good as his.  When he derides another person's Christianity because it places value on the planet's health.  When he talks about his theocratic values being the basis for the laws and social policy of this country.

Theocracy in the United States?  Its always possible.

When analysis starts saying that Santorum is "talking about things like Hitler" and calls it fundamentalist "brainless biblical babble", it should perk some ears up.

PEACE


[update]


I missed this earlier.  Even his spokesperson is in on the gig, calling Obama's policies "radical Islamist".  Special...

Thank You Dan Savage

Thank you Dan Savage.  Without you and your fan base, the following news headlines from last night just wouldn't be the same...

Santorum surges with 3-state sweep (That's a lot of Santorum)

Op-Ed: Santorum Surge Stains Romney's Cloak of Inevitability (I hate getting Santorum on my cloak) 

Romney tries to beat back possible Santorum surge in trio of states (Overwhelming!) 

Santorum's surge fills pocketbook, turns GOP race on its head ... again  (LOL, fills pocketbook)

Santorum's Slow-Mo Surge Continues (Oooooh, slow motion Santorum?)

The Santorum Surge, Take II (I just can't get enough...)

and one of my favorites...

Santorum Stuns Romney

So which one is your favorite?

Do you have any you can add to this amazing list?

Santorum's Santorum Problem

Rick Santorum has a problem.  What problem is that you might ask?  No, it's not Red Leader from Star Wars silly!
 
It's when CNBC and Yahoo! publish an article about the homes (note, plural) of all the Republican candidates for president.

And I quote:

"In addition to his more modest house in Penn Hills, Pa., Rick Santorum also lived in this two-story residence on 3.76 acres in Leesburg, Va., until 2007. It was purchased new in 2001 for $643,361. The question of Santorum’s residency location was the catalyst for a frothy controversy spanning more than a decade, as detailed here."

Did you catch that?  Any time a presidential contender has a subtle comedic dig taken at him by the lame-stream media, I applaud!  Especially when its Santorum.

Thank you Dan Savage.

PEACE

p.s.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, google "Santorum"... if you dare!  Mwaaa haaa haa

UPDATE:  From the following article, Santorum says the following rather creepy bit:

"I may not be the guy that the girls are initially attracted to when they walk into the dance hall, but ultimately once you get to know all the folks, I'm the one you want to take home to Mom," Santorum said.

 I'm pretty sure that there's not too many mother's who are into Santorum... *cough*.... either way.
