Today's Dispatches From The Stupid Party

Another week, another set of dispatches proving The Stupid Party* is hard at work justifying its name.

From Iowa , State Rep. Todd "My Name is My Game" Gassman says he wants to make divorce harder because TRAMPS! (more specifically, his granddaughter):

"A bill making it harder for couples to divorce was approved by an Iowa state House subcommittee on Monday, with a supporter of the legislation arguing it is necessary to prevent young girls from being more 'promiscuous.'"

Meanwhile, what are those Rethuglican/ Stupid Party solons up in Washington Dee Cee up to?  If you said breaking the sequester deadlock by ending their intransigence on closing tax loopholes for the wealthy and corporations -- you'd be wrong:

"A new short-term budget bill introduced on Monday by House Republicans includes a bizarre provision banning federal funding to anti-poverty group ACORN, despite the fact that the group has already been stripped of federal funding -- and has been defunct for nearly three years."  (our emphasis)

From a mighty, though non-existent, acorn a tiny oak  of a bill grew!

ACORN Pimp Pleads Guilty

As expected, ACORN pimp/provocateur James "G. Gordon Diddy" O'Keefe and his band of merry men plead guilty to a single misdemeanor charge of "entry by false pretense" into Sen. Mary Landreu's New Orleans office. Diddy was sentenced to 3 years probation, 100 hours community service and a $1,500 fine; his cohorts, not so much. Clearly, these tools have a future in the Rethuglican Party!

The Paranoid and the Dumb

That just about captures the essence of the Rethug base and their snobilly queen. Here's the paranoid. Here's the dumb. Enjoy the uniformed lunacy!

Not All Nuts Are Acorns

Courageous conservative governors Tim "No Good 'N'" Pawlenty and Bobby "Kenneth" Jindal are fightin' the scourge of ACORN (you know, the nazidemosocialist storm troopers of B. Hussein Omuslim -- and Glenn "Boo-Hoo" Beck's fevered imagination). Seems Paw and Kenneth have issued Orders to their gummints to cease and desist ALL CONTACTS with the nefarious ACORNs! ("Huh? Whazzat? Neither Minnesota nor Louisiana have any contacts, contracts, or other 'intercourse' with the ACORNs?!? Shhh! You're spoiling their dramatic moment! YOU LIE!")

UPDATE: Also joining his voice to the courageous chorus, Gov. Sonny "Chicken" Perdue (Rethug-GA).

"Spontaneous" Teabaggers in a Tizzy

Think Progress has a piece on the upcoming "tea bag" parties, and how they're, um, not exactly the grassroots affairs that the prime sponsors over at Fox Nutwork would have us believe. Also, check out this laughable entry in the ACORN paranoia sweepstakes; this entry nearly rivals the meme that "far-left" ACORNers are going to be hired for the 2010 Census, therefore all wingers must lock and load!

Crazy ass hysterical fools...

McShame, ACORN, and Vote Supression

Today's column by Bob Herbert in the NY Times illustrates the Rethuglican Party's attempt, once again, to suppress votes. The phony ACORN "scandal" was puffed up by McShame and the Rethugs in an attempt to call the election results into question, and to provide cover for their election day vote suppression. In the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004, the Rethugs used ham-fisted tactics of limiting the number of voting machines in Democratic districts, posting flyers in those districts with false voting information, and stationing off-duty police carrying their service revolvers outside minority voting precincts.

The ACORN nonsense is the vanguard of this year's vote suppression activity. Some ACORN canvassers were poorly chosen and paid by the number of registration sheets they could produce. So some "registered" such shadowy characters as "Mickey Mouse" and "Fred's Tavern." By law, ACORN is required to turn in ALL registration sheets, and to flag the suspicious or incomplete ones. ACORN in fact identified the vast majority of bogus registrations themselves. Local Boards of Elections screen the registrations for errors and duplications. Who in their right mind thinks that someone calling themselves "Mickey Mouse" or "Fred's Tavern" would show up to actually vote?

This is another example of the Rethugs thinking that the American people are too stupid to understand their game.
