Wow. If this isn’t a ‘ya thinh?’ moment, I don’t know what is.

Thanks, Captain Obvious!

Really, Frothy? What makes you say that?

Was it the “Let them Die” shouts at the Wingnut debates? Or was it Rand’s “gimme, gimme, gimme.” moochers comments? Or was Craven Bundy’s ‘poor blacks would be better off as slaves’ comments? Or, maybe it’s that the GOP wants to cut off welfare, medicaid, and other social services for poor people? (including those that have served the nation.) How about Paul Ryan’s comments on “lazy, inner city men”?

“Real solutions.” By which TweetyBoner means, of course, tax cuts for rich people and gutting out wage, hour, safety, and environmental regulations.

I mean, honestly, isn’t the real problem that employers are forced to pay employees anything? Isn’t the real solution relaxing the iron grip of government under guise of preventing so-called “involuntary servitude?”

It is these strange and incongruous moments of introspection that make Santorum all the more bizarre - and frankly - a bit scary … along with the frequent far away look in his eyes !!!

Can you imagine a Republican saying THIS at the 1:17 mark if it’s not about an investment banker or Cletus Bundy?

Santorum and Paul breaking honest about Republicans, looks like they’re going for the win.

"“I’m not sure we do and the reason I’m not sure we do is because I don’t hear us talking about them very often…”

And when you DO hear them, their remarks are derogatory, blaming, and shaming.

“Well people ask me if Republicans care as much about the poor as Democrats do. I’m not sure we do.”

Whatta’ convenient political epiphany from frothy InSanitorum’ as the GreedOverPeople party tries feebly and with futile baby steps to rehabilitate itself!

I repeat: “Push Lindsey Graham off her fainting couch; I need it!”

They were more concerned about gays, the need to control women who have sex, the right of even the most fringe lunatic to own enough guns to arm a third world country, The plight of the underappreciated rich, should I go on?

Tpaw is exiting right so Rick follow the lights to the back exit.

And they call themselves christians or followers of Christ?

If anyone has read the Bible, readers should know that Jesus warned us of folks like the GoP.

Of COURSE Republicans care about the Poors! Who else will fight the wars to bring about the New American Century? Who else will keep the Olds afraid and voting GOP? Who else will muck out their toilets for a pension that’s under one of these cups (switch switch switch)? Who else will become their Soylent Green when the last great decadent amusement of the Single Percentile Jerb Kreeayturz is murder and cannibalism?
