Republicans In Love
The Republicans in the Texas Lege are so damn entertaining.
Signs calling some state lawmakers former fetuses are causing a stir at the Capitol, with one representative accusing another of intimidating his staff by removing them.
Republican State Representative Jonathan Stickland replaced the usual sign on his office door with this one. He’s a former fetus. He’s also a pre-cadaver but he doesn’t make mention of that.
Republican State Representative Charlie Geren didn’t like it for some damn reason. According to Strickland, Geren took the sign down and threw it “in my staffer’s face.” Stickland says that Geren “intimidated” his staffer.
Stickland
My. My. Republicans at war.
Geren denies it. He says the sign is a violation of the rules of the State Preservation Board, which is charged with making the capitol look proper and spiffy.
“If Stickland wants to act like a child, that’s fair, but I did not rip it down.”
Get a room, Boys.
They have taken their testy comments to Twitter. Strickland obviously doesn’t care about the capitol looking proper and spiffy. After all, he showed up.
The Donner Party, formerly known as the GOP, is showing all the signs of desperation for which their namesake was famous.
But they are a lot funnier than a blizzard in the Sierra Nevada.
1Proves my point. When you do education on the cheap… the kids grow older maybe…. they just don’t ever grow up.
We keep voting people with the mentality of a (4) year old… to run our governments.
It’s sad.
2Excellent name for the GOP, Juanita Jean – Future Cadavers of America. Some days, tomorrow cannot come soon enough.
3Not only is he packing heat, he’s carrying an extra 100 lbs, which should put him in the “shortly-to-be cadaver category.
4The fact that this guy is a former fetus is one of the best arguments for choosing abortion that I’ve ever seen. The weird part is that he doesn’t seem to have grown up all that much since his fetus days. If he lost the gun and curled up a little he would look like an ultrasound: unformed, with blurry features.
Ralph, I like your comment that the GOP resembles the Donner party, but I think I would throw in a touch of lemming.
5That doofus calls himself “former fetus”? This is a thing now? I guess they don’t realize they are actually making the case for abortion.
And I see he’s a proud member of the Itty Bitty D*ck club, too. What a prize.
6His anything-but-nonchalant pose = roflmfao
7@Nefer
8RE “What a prize.”
Yep. Any ladies looking for half a ton of fun should line up to the right over there!
Former fetus?
What about going back a little farther, to when he was a member of a 3 ring circus one night with his mom & dad? Most likely a dog and pony show, and not the greatest spectacle on earth. But I still want to see that plaque.
9He forgot a line on his signage just below “Former Fetus.”
“Current Simpleton”
10Naw, Cletus. You STILL a fetus.
11I have sooooo many snarkish comments after seeing his photos, but I can be good…
Well, this person proves that where he works, MUST be a dangerous place, otherwise why does he need to be armed? In fact, that is a good question. Why would one need a weapon if one were in a safe place, unless somehow you need it to feel better???
Ammosexuals….
12Gawd, likely the product of some in-breeding, FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), and xtian hoemskoouling.
I don’t see just a big capital “S” on his vacant forehead, I see a “T, and a U, and a P, I, D, !” too.

OMFG! You’re gonna love this JJ:
Another ‘pest control’ geeniuz, G.E.D. and limped through a couple of CC’s :
“He enrolled for his freshman year at Richland High School and then for two years at the newly opened Birdville High School of the Birdville Independent School District, both in North Richland Hills in Tarrant County. Stickland ended up leaving high school between his junior and senior year and obtained his G.E.D.
Stickland entered the community college, Tarrant County College, and also Parkland College, in which he studied sales and marketing.[3]
After college study, Stickland went to work in the pest-control business. He took a full-time sales position with Truly Nolen Pest Control and then as manager of residential accounts for Prime Pest Management, both in Fort Worth. He obtained a pest control state technician license and launched his own consulting business, which he still operates.”

13.
I’ve always used those pesticides veeery carefully, some obviously don’t…
Ich!!!!!!!!! Just like the time I ran into a bunch of street corner preachers screeching about how all of us at one time were pre-born. Well, in that case, we are all of us pre-dead!
14Well, he’s just trolling for votes. Votes are hard to come by these days. But pest control? He maybe bought Tom DeLay’s business?
15Yes, Texas state representative Jonathan Stickland was once a fetus. Now he’s just an imbecile.
16It is amazing what guns pack around these days. This gun looks to be carrying a prized porker from 4-H where ever it goes.
17He doesn’t look like he’s all there.
18He just looks like some twit trying desperately to look cool.
19He looks like the Fat version of Scott Walker … crossed eyes and that cheesy imbecile smirk that is suppose to imitate a smile!!
20Marcia in CO, understandable that without the pajamas you missed the resemblance to a younger version of Blake Farenthold.
21Nothing to do with this yahoo, but Texas Republicans are dangerous, e.g. Molly White. Read it and weep.

GOP = FFP (Former Fetus Party)
23The 2nd photo of Strickland reminds me of an older man who comes into a coffee shop I like to frequent. He drives a huge Hummer. I have a name for people like him and Strickland and the crazy woman in the following post – Compensators.
24It was Lobby Day for planned parenthood at the capital today, I was there. Groups were assigned times to visit with their representatives and Senators. We were in a training, ‘be polite, sign guest book, etc’ when we were told of these signs being put up, some just paper and that we should just ignore them and not engage with pro lifers.
25Well my group didn’t see any signs or pro life protesters, not our day I guess.
Donna Campbell is my senator, we were told to only drop off printed info and to sign her guest book, we’ll lo and behold, her guest book was full and they haven’t gotten around to getting another!seems to me she didn’t want to ever have to acknowledge that any of her constituents are pro choice!! After all they aren’t in the guest book!
@ Mel: another sticker to go below the “Former Fetus” sign:
“Guess the wrong sperm got lucky”
26@PKM
27@Marcia in CO
I just caught those resemblances. I must have been laughing so hard before that I didnt notice.
Nice catch!
Fetal Hog?
28Nancy, that’s a scary column that everyone should read. I think the GOP really are trying to dismantle the union and destroy the federal government.
29He needs a “Current South End of a Northbound Horse” sign.
30Quit whining, Stickland. You jes’ tek that ol’ sidearm of your’n an’ intimidate Charlie Geren’s staffer raht bek! Go ‘head! Show ’em that yore a proud Texan NRA member an’ Charleton Heston told yew that yew don’ hafta tek that crap from nobody, unnerstan’?
31Viewing the photos Stickland chose to publicize, I’d love to see the ones he rejected. They must be monumentally unflattering.
32@PKM … this embicile isn’t gap-toothed like Blake … so I failed to make that connection. But his not-quite-right eyes said “Scott Walker wannabe” for sure!!
33The ex,half-guv of Alaska is a little narrow between the eyes as well.Must be a wingnut genetic deformation. I think their Y chromosomes were exchanged for a Y bother chromosome.
34Or maybe the X chromosome was changed to an EX chromosome. That could ‘splain many disturbing behavior patterns.
35Fat boy Strickland needs to put his weapon back in his pants where it belongs.
36“Pre-cadaver” … one of the many reasons I frequest here, to equalize my nerves.
37hehehehe
38Angelo, for Stickland to claim that he has a weapon in his pants would be a gross exaggeration.
39Looks like he has the sense of a current fetus…
40Amazing. That guy Strickland looks *exactly* the way I thought he would look. I’m sure anyone who saw him coming down the street and didn’t know who he was, would think to themselves “Yep, that’s a moron.”
41Fat, stupid, and armed!
