Stay Classy, GOP
The day after another mass shooting, the GOP sends me this POC (Piece of Crap).
.
Well hell, the chick is not include? I suspect they’ll wait for another veto of the Lilly Ledbetter Act by Governor Perry to have their win a chick contest.
The ad adds —
When it comes to gun control, Mr. Obama and his extremists just won’t quit. He’s not interested in what Congress thinks, in what state legislators think… he’s certainly not interested in what you and I think. He wants his way with your rights. And he’s getting it bit-by-bit through executive order.
Do you want to know how badly that I wish that were true. I’d give up a 50 yard line seat at Armageddon for that to be true.
You can read more of this classy stuff right here.
And Republicans, you can bet your sweet patootie that if I am ever elected Queen of the Damn World, I am coming to get your guns and fix your hair. You guys have unforgivably bad hair.
And one more thing to make your teeth hurt.
Tomorrow at 10, the Senate Judiciary Committee was supposed to hold a hearing on “Stand Your Ground” laws featuring testimony from Trayvon Martin’s mother, John “More Guns Less Crime” Lott, and a trio of congressman that, for maximum cable TV potential, included Rep. Louie Gohmert. But shortly after 6 p.m., on a day when the Senate was on a security lock-down due to the Navy Yard shooting, Sen. Dick Durbin’s office (and the office of would-be panelist Rep. Luis Gutierrez) announced that the hearing would be rescheduled.
That’s right. The hearing inspired by one shooting has been bumped because of another shooting.
I’m going to take to drinking.
Notice how their arguments are so weak that they have to sell violence via sex? Using that girl to hold the gun IMHO is as bad as the sign company that put the stencil of the bound woman on the back of the tailgate.
1And a bad guy with a gun in a friggin encampment of good guys with guns still managed to kill way to many people.
2Do you need any help with the drinking? I’m considering it myself.
3It’s amazing that otherwise intelligent folks (I try to think the best, or at least better, of folks) manage to turn everything into the opposite of what it was intended to say. And I wouldn’t send Louie to the grocery store with a short list printed in all big caps.
4Their notice includes the phrase “No risk”.
5They must be insured by the National Moron Insurance Co.
How the hell have you been living among those folks down there and not been drinking?
6My IPad and I are thinking of joining you in that beverage.
Wyatt_Earl, at the risk of using humor as a defense mechanism, your comment was dead on. I hope to God someone has the courage to say this at yet another useless Congressional Hearing!
Watch them make this about Contractors.
7JJ, On the “drinking thing”…. what’s taken you so long.
@Deb, I suspect it will be about “mental health”.
If somebody had done this to people in a super market, it would have been about “crime”.
What it’s never about is GUNS.
And, until it’s about “guns”…. nothing’s ever going to change, and probably all of us will have started drinking.
8One rw congressman is hot on the trail of a rumour that the Navy downgraded security because of sequestration cuts. The only common denominator in every single mass murder commited with guns is……….wait for it…..it is Obama’s fault. Not. Guns is the correct answer.
9Everyone who received this POC (and all others from Repubs) should enter the NRA email address on all the websites. Let the Repubs & NRA send each other this crap. It’ll make their mailing lists more interesting.
10I just tried to send an email to Sen. Durbin about him pulling this sneaky trick of cancelling a meeting after business hours (6 p.m.) on a very busy news day (Navy Yard shooting) about guns and Stand Your Ground while under lockdown because of guns (Navy Yard shooting). I use the word “cancelling” rather than “rescheduled” because rescheduling implies a new date, which was not provided, hence it was cancelled.
I played by the rules, and went to his website. Even though the website was quite loud about his being the Senate Assistant Majority Leader, which to me means he represents all citizens who are members of his party (hence the “Majority Leader” part of his title), he doesn’t really mean it.
He also notes on his website that due to the volume of emails from his Illinois constituents, he won’t provide a DIRECT REPLY to anyone else, but APPRECIATES YOUR COMMENTS. He doesn’t really mean that either.
His “Contact Sen. Durbin” email form on his website will not accept a State in the address section that is NOT Illinois. So much for Mr. Assistant Senate Majority Leader APPRECIATING MY COMMENTS.
I then called his office in Washington, DC (they’d probably appreciate an increase in call volume from other people who don’t like his meeting cancellation or don’t like his lies about wanting to hear our comments and then not allowing states other than IL to be entered on his comment form. The number is 202/224-2152.) The nice lady there said she’d take my message down over the phone and pass it along (she’d probably love to take your message down over the phone too, rather than the simplicity of the website contact form. Her number is 202/224-2152). I gave her my message, and also suggested that she lose the lie on the website.
11Miemaw … I’ve seen that this guy was supposedly being treated for mental illness since only last month – August!
12@JuJuBee
This is how you contact a member of Congress who won’t take e-mail from you because you “don’t live in the state”.
Go to the Google machine. Google a big city in the state.
Get a business address from a business in that city. Doesn’t matter. Pizza Parlor. Barber Shop. Apartment Building. Whatever.
When you fill out the congress critter’s complaint form, use the local business address. Then, there is a “paper trail” as they say. Works for me. The guy is one step down from the Senate Majority Leader. He should listen to people all over the country, not just those in his home state.
Good Grief!
13How many more people have to be sacrificed at the NRA alter?
14Love the “Chick [in wonderbra] not included” in the already-offensive ad. Last time Maryland voters made the mistake of electing a Republican governor, he celebrated by going to a boxing match with a bunch of his pals, and told the press with a smirk, “No chicks.” I sent the WashPost a letter asking how that was less offensive than if he’d said, “No coons,” but they didn’t print it.
15Of course guns don’t symbolically represent penises to gun nuts.
Of course they don’t.
16Rampant (in their dreams) wittle winkie syndrome
