Can someone tell me…
…why Republicans are attacking Democrats for funding STD prevention? Like, where is the partisan gain in all this? Can you imagine campaign ads that say something along the lines of, “Mike Pence voted AGAINST Barack Hussein Obama’s plan to prevent you from getting a sexually transmitted disease!” In a sane country, this stuff would just not be controversial.

Because, people, you have to be having sex in order to get STD’s.

Heh…In Australia the Labor federal government, over a year since defeating the conservatives at the polls, has yet to overturn the previous administration’s ban on aid for overseas charity organisations that provide info to the poor on all family planning options.
This makes Australia the only western nation to have such a policy. Why? Because the Labor government is afraid to antagonize one fundamentalist christian independent senator on who it sometimes relies on to pass legislation through the senate.

Before a cure was found for syphilis, there were people who were dead set against a cure being found, because such things would only encourage the filthy and degenerate to continue their filthy degenerate lifestyles. Sexually transmitted diseases are a just punishment for the wicked. This is why God gave us the currently incurable AIDS virus once antibiotics were discovered, and why it is a sin to tell children about condoms and other methods of safer sex.
In short, fundies want you to die.

It’s already been said, but sex is icky, don’cha know. Anything that’s seen seen to be promoting it (even if it’s not really) is fair game.
I once heard part of a recorded speech from some particularly lunatic Fundie “minister” (I’ve long since forgotten which one, though he wasn’t one of the more famous assholes), which was (I quote) “God is great. Sex is stupid.” And this repeated several times, like it was a chant.
As for why the more reportedly ‘mainstream’ Rethug politicians pander to this kind of nonsense: Gotta give the rubes something to froth against while you’re picking their pockets, ya know?

I currently live in a Red City in a Red State and you can’t drive more than two blocks without seeing a massage parlor — in fact, they typically double them up like convenience stores: on both sides of the street so you don’t even have to make a turn across traffic.
No doubt the parlors provide their own condoms — so really, why does Big Government have to stick their noses into it?

I don’t think Republicans have any idea that money can be used to hire people to do things, like, consistently. They only understand that money can be invested, after which the Money Gods turn it into more money, unless the Money Gods have become angry and demand a money sacrifice.
That’s the only way it can be even halfway rational for them to claim that family planning services or cleaning up the National Mall don’t “stimulate the economy.” Someone is getting paid to do something, and can then spend that money on goods and services. Thus, economy. Homer Simpson’s brain understands this. Jeff Flake and John Boehner do not.

I had to have this talk with my sister regarding my niece (who has just started college). I eventually said “well, you know also not all sex is exactly consensual” and she began to freak out, but here’s the thing, as if I had compared someone to Hitler. The suggestion that you can get an STD without deciding to have sex is, apparently, an unfair debating tactic or something.
I would almost prefer talking to someone who thinks vaccines “give” you autism.

My (sometimes an idiot) niece doesn’t want the vaccine because she’s not going to have sex outside of marriage. It’s her stupid church that has convinced her not to get one, and my sister WILL NOT TALK TO HER about it.
Besides, she says “it will huuuurt. Those shots hurt worse than regular shotst”. Right. I could just shake her, but she’s 6 feet tall and built like a brick wall, and I’m 5′3″ and more round than I should be, so I guess I won’t, but I could tell HER something about shots that hurt, like having to have Procrit once a week, every single week for a year.

Maybe not but there is an awful lot of mercury in our environment these days. Came out recently there is mercury in high fructose corn syrup. I don’t eat sushi any more and I stay far away from top predator sea fish. Here in Minnesota we have a lot of Somalian refugees and we are seeing too much autism from that group. An awful lot of pollutants and pesticides in Somalia. We need to repair the damage that Bush did to environmental legislation.

The economy has slumped due to the failures of big government and the left. They mandated giving out lots of loans to people who would never pay them back. Their plan is another New Deal, only worse, which will prolong our economic troubles (much like the New Deal did).

“so next time he can come out and say ‘Been there, done that.’ Or, he could just keep doing it again and again.”
What Obama has said in the past is that he gives his opponents the benefit of the doubt the first time, but if they persist “then I crush them”. He ain’t nobody’s fool. What will happen to the GOP if they continue to oppose him is they’ll find themselves on an island floating out to sea. It will keep getting smaller and smaller until someone jumps and swims to shore.
It’ll be interesting to see where that break point is and who will choose to ride into the sunset. (I know, I’m mixing metaphors horridly, so sue me.)

Dallas actually had an openly gay candidate announce for mayor last year.

Idiot troll thinks 40 years of Republicans can be reversed in one election.
You mean Rick Noriega? This Rick Noriega?
Noriega joined the United States Army in 1979 in the wake of the Iran hostage crisis. He became a Lt. Colonel in the Texas Army National Guard, and most recently served in the Afghanistan War that followed the September 11, 2001 attacks.
On his return from Afghanistan, Mayor Bill White requested that Noriega command the evacuee shelter operation at the George Brown Convention Center in Houston, where he oversaw thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

ALTIMORE — Comptroller of the Currency John C. Dugan said he categorically disagrees with suggestions that the Community Reinvestment Act is partly responsible for the ongoing credit crisis.
“CRA is not the culprit behind the subprime mortgage lending abuses, or the broader credit quality issues in the marketplace,” Mr. Dugan said in a speech to the Enterprise Annual Network Conference.
“Indeed, the lenders most prominently associated with subprime mortgage lending abuses and high rates of foreclosure are lenders not subject to CRA,” he added. “A recent study of 2006 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data showed that banks subject to CRA and their affiliates originated or purchased only six percent of the reported high cost loans made to lower-income borrowers within their CRA assessment areas.”

Susan of Texas said,
January 29, 2009 at 6:07
From The BIg Picture:
Some people actually look at the data, while others foolishly parrot talking points. Consider this Federal Reserve Board data, compiled by McClathcy. It shows that:
More than 84% of the subprime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending institutions.
Private firms made nearly 83% of the subprime loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers that year.
Only one of the top 25 subprime lenders in 2006 was directly subject to the CRA;
Only commercial banks and thrifts must follow CRA rules. The investment banks don’t, nor did the now-bankrupt non-bank lenders such as New Century Financial Corp. and Ameriquest that underwrote most of the subprime loans.
Mortgage brokers, who also weren’t subject to federal regulation or the CRA, originated most of the subprime loans.
The “Blame Fannie/Freddie/CRA” crowd, do provide a service: I know anyone who repeats this meme is an empty headed parrot, a mindless drone without an ability to think. This is a huge timesaver, as it has allowed me to dismiss many of the ditto heads I might have otherwise wasted time on.
So whoever came up with this silly talking point, despite your lack of concern for facts and your attempts at muddying the waters — thanks! You’ve saved me an enormous amount of time in identifying people not to bother reading, and to ignore.

The Texas state GOP is eating itself from the head down. Their fragile remaining lead by two seats in the state leg is hopeless. They might hang on to the largely ceremonial governor’s seat one more term based on sheer name recognition, but Texas’ Hispanic population proportion is growing every year, and they can’t stand the GOP’s fear and loathing of all things Teh Messican. In the most recent poll here, 62% of Texans support Obama’s tenure so far.

The rapidly dwindling number of political operators who take lightning-fast recall and recitation of Limbaugh dialogue as an asset are thrilled by it, and it makes good ass-cover for rich white guys; on the other hand, it’s so obviously wrong that it just takes pointing out the obscenely wrong numbers, causality, and history involved for even the most ignorant observer to conclude that the walking bullhorn is worthless and should be ignored.

Incidentally, I suspect that the demographic shift process (in which right-wing rule renders more people poor and the people already poor more desperate) is only a partial explanatory factor for 2008. VA is an excellent example: there has been nothing like the growth of the DC suburbs necessary to turn it into a swing state yet, and Nevada shouldn’t have started looking like California until the 20s at the earliest.
The GOP lost the suburbs, who have clearly lost the will to protect white civilization from the dusky hordes, and even now the One sets up miscegenation camps and tours the nation impregnating real working Americans’ wives, mistresses, and chauffeurs.

I have a friend who spent a couple of years there. It wasn’t until she came back to New York that she realized how many high necked item were in her wardrobe, and how her lipstick had faded to barely pink.
She mentioned that there was someone she knew, and, as she told it, “In any other place, he would have been gay. But I don’t think even he knew it.”
I wasn’t born a New Yorker; I’m a Hoosier. A few years back I visited my hometown that we left when I was six, and it had a big billboard asking if passing motorists knew Jesus. The Green Goddess dressing was leprechaun green; because it’s supposed to be green, by gum. Food coloring is a big thing there. Many of the women are mis-matched at the waist; normal seeming up top, but with Hottentot lower bodies. And there is no bookstore; just for asking, we got told, “You aren’t from around here,” and then the cold shoulder.

I doubt I could have stood living anywhere in Utah other than Salt Lake City, which is still backward by civilized standards but much more cosmopolitan than the rest of the state (including the town where I grew up). My workplace is also very liberal, which makes the whole setup tolerable.
My current gig is going to last a couple more years, and possibly longer. If it ends at that point, I’ll look into moving, possibly even overseas to where “socialist” isn’t a dirty word. I’ve traveled Europe and Asia some, and there are places in both where I’d likely be employable and I wouldn’t mind hanging around.

Hey, guys, I’ve got it sussed! Red Tater just found out about the McCain campaign’s “troll a liberal blog and win a tote bag” program.

“Troll a liberal blog and win a tote bag” – ha! I bet there are plenty of the bags left, even though they promised to give the excess to charity.
And there is no bookstore; just for asking, we got told, “You aren’t from around here,” and then the cold shoulder.
Yikes – I don’t think I’d even unpack my suitcase in a town like that. Though not the capitol city of literacy, Salt Lake City has one pretty solid bookstore, or two if you’re into local oddities.

The fact is that this manure pile of a bailout will do nothing to stop a depression, it’ll just make it a depression with hyper-inflation.
Thousands or millions of us will starve to death, starting with elderly and infants. More will die due to the inability to get basic medications. Others will die from untreated injuries. And more will die from those diseases we currently associate with refugee camps – typhus, coliform, and so on, because as more and more become homeless, tent cities will continue to grow, and the sanitation problems that come with them will be mammoth.
No hyperbole. No joke. President Obama will turn America into a third world country.

America’s savings rate has been hovering in and around the negative for the last decade; for the first time since the death of the Grange, most Americans are debtors. Seriously, though, keep on telling us to cry our hearts out about our just financial masters being robbed of our credit debt. Sure that’ll work out great for you.
Has been a disturbingly regular and underreported feature of the Bush administration. Up until 2006, the Republican Party’s MO comprised basically looting anything resembling a safety net to hand over to high-risk investors. Now it is whining about the Democrats not doing so.
Fun fact: the destruction of local infrastructure under Republican rule has resulted in exactly this, alongside with the long-standing problem of private/insurance-driven healthcare making American health among the worst in the developed world. Outside of the echo-chamber, nobody who actually faces the various perils you describe would associate them with Obama; they’ve been going on and getting worse under Republican rule, and if he doesn’t fix them they’ll throw him out in another Dem’s favor. You had your chance, fuckers, and you spent it giving handjobs to CEOs. Better luck next lifetime.

Oh yeah. We’ll be too busy holding you responsible for everything else that failed–including the economy that made this whole farce possible.
After all, Dubya had eight whole years to wreck it all by himself, and by gosh, he SUCCEEDED. It was his only success, and you people, by virtue of being dumb enough to vote for him, helped it along.
Own it, conservatard.

all the “fearsome” bad guys get easily gunned down by DeathWish.
Hey, Death Wish 2 was on AMC tonight. Easily the worst-crafted major motion picture I’ve ever seen. But at least now I know what it’s like inside the heads of wingnuts, who are sure the only thing standing between the hordes of queer-punk-black-rapists and their innocent daughters and housekeepers is their guns, pockmarks, and scraggly mustaches.
I probably shouldn’t admit that I don’t miss mikey.

Most of the Deathwish movies are based on fact. For one thing, it showed the effects of Gun Control. Such as when the homeowners gave up their gun, and were robbed the next night.

President Obama will turn America into a third world country.
Did you just emerge from a coma, or what? Reagan beat him to it by 25 fucking years – & it didn’t even take him 5.
Clinton started to bring it back to something resembling modern civilization … but Commandante Codpiece Georgie-Porgie “fixed” it, much like a veteranarian will “fix” your pet for a fee.
When you get done fapping to your fantasy of Mad-Max-style Epic Obama Fail, you might want to take a whole fucking minute out of your busy day to think about what your nation is really going to turn into if you & all your fellow neocon pinheads (whose blind allegiance to a corporatist cipher like Bush CAUSED this shit to go down in the first place, like being the sycophantic enablers of an economic Katrina) decide to sit on your thumbs & gloat as it gets worse, instead of doing anything positive or constructive to help make things better. Ever wonder what it’d be like to see cholera make a comeback in America? Let your civic infrastructure keep going pear-shaped as you whine for MOAR tax-cuts, & you may just get to find out.
If you do, be sure & thank the Waffen-SS-loving, death-squad-praising, union-busting prick who smiled into the cameras as he cooked your goose to a cinder:
“Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem.”

McCain totally would have won if it weren’t for the economic crash and if it weren’t for Sarah Palin being stupid all the time and if McCain hadn’t flipped out the week of the crash and suspended his campaign but didn’t and if McCain hadn’t yelled out “That One!” and if McCain hadn’t gone all far right to win the ‘base’ of the Republicans and if Palin hadn’t accused Obama of pal’ing around with terrorists and if John McCain hadn’t listened to Bill Kristol telling him he needed to pick Palin and if they hadn’t made brainless NotJoe the NotPlumber their campaign spokesman and if McCain hadn’t spent several weeks lying so bluntly and so badly that the media which worshiped him for two decades had to call him out on it…
Except for that and a few other things, McCain totally would have won.
