This shit is downright exhausting. One hit after another.
And seriously, this batch of republicans is like watching a tank full of starving pirhannas make a decision.
Republican thought process:
1) all sperm should become fetuses and be born!!
2) However, we don't want to pay for the birth or any treatment after that birth.
3) BTW, no healthcare if you are poor. Or not rich.
4) Oh, you have a chronic health condition and aren't rich? Well, be sure to save for your funeral, I don't want to pay for your casket or burial either.
5) But don't worry, I'll make sure that the environment is so toxic that both you and your kids will die faster.
6) Win forever!!!
*shakes head*
In college, I was naive enough to believe that people in congress should have to sit through a couple of introductory science classes so they would have the education on which to make rational decisions.
Now, I just want psychological tests to be given to every political candidate (Yes, even you, Mr. Hopeful Schoolboard Member) to help weed out the psychopaths and Christine O'Donnels of the world.
Anyone want to run a cost/benefit analysis of that plan to see how many lives and how much money it would save? I mean, the lack of bridges to nowhere, subsidies to support crops + oil + wars, and the sheer amount of goodwill in the universe when people saw a law passed that MADE SENSE should be quantifiable? Right?
Then again, the current lawmakers have pretty much illustrated that they've either surgically removed their common sense or simply have no desire to listen to it because hey LOOKIT THIS ANT FRYING UNDER THE MICROSCOPE!!!! SO COOL!!!
