File under: Things that should be obscenely obvious

Points for being honest??

“I’m going to be real honest with you, the Republican Party doesn’t want black people to vote if they’re going to vote 9-to-1 for Democrats,” Emanuelson said at a May 20 "Battlefield Dallas" event in Dallas, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Republican Terry England Compares Women to Farm Animals

State Rep. Terry England (R-Auburn) compared pregnant women carrying stillborn fetuses to the cows and pigs on his farm. According to Rep.

Mitt Romney flip-flops himself

Remember just 8 short years ago when the GOP just assassinated John Kerry's character for being a flip-flopper?
Mitt Romney debates himself… this would seem to be pretty self-explanatory.

Charlie Fuqua, GOP Candidate in Arkansas, Endorses Death Penalty For Rebellious Children

Could someone explain to me how these types of people even get nominated, let alone elected?

In "God's Law," Fuqua's 2012 book, the candidate wrote that while parents love their children, a process could be set up to allow for the institution of the death penalty for "rebellious children," according to the Arkansas Times. Fuqua, who is anti-abortion, points out that the course of action involved in sentencing a child to death is described in the Bible and would involve judicial approval.

Paul Ryan can't be bothered to actually explain his tax plan

How much would it cost? Ryan seemed stumped. When Wallace insisted, saying "you haven't given me the math," the vice-presidential candidate laughed, “I don’t have the time. It would take me too long to go through all the math.” 

Republican Senator Jon Kyl: True feminist

Many Republicans Join Democrats in Denouncing Attack in Libya - NYTimes.com:

“I don’t know if you’ve ever been involved in victims’ rights, but this is like a judge telling the woman that got raped, ‘you asked for it because of the way you dressed,’ ” Mr. Kyl said. “That’s the same thing. ‘Well America, you should be the ones to apologize. You should have known this would happen’,” he said. “For a member of our State Department to put out a statement like that, it had to be cleared by somebody.

But if I'm religious, it means I can say hateful things with impunity!

Virginia Republican Representative Bob Marshall:

Labor Day is for… who?

On the one day that America celebrates the hard work of many of its citizens… Eric Cantor, the Republican Representative from Virginia and current Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, tweeted a message in support of… business owners??

Today, we celebrate those who have taken a risk, worked hard, built a business and earned their own success.

This is the reason that the mem "People unclear on the concept" was invented.

Newt-isms

Newt Gingrich said that letting Bill Clinton speak at the 2012 DNC convention would be “enormous risk” that would remind voters of how “pathetically bad Obama has been.”

Does that mean by not mentioning George W. Bush AT ALL during the Republican convention was a de-facto admission of how even worse he was during his eight years?
