No doubt it is a sad state of affairs that our politics have stooped to such lows, dragged here by the dogmatic extremist conservatives and enabled by the spineless opposition party that is too scared to call out lies and distortions in fear of being seen as bold or partisan when they are attacked by the everything is legitimate, false-equivalency espousing fact-checkers who are further enabled by a huge chunk of the electorate that sees no problems with these changes.

If anybody asked me several years ago if we'd be here, I would have said no easily. It's been a surreal experience that has only gotten crazier since 2009 hasn't it? If you take out the obvious human suffering and opportunity cost of wasting our time on this petty garbage, it'd be funnier. I'm waiting with baited breath for the coming implosion.

In short: YEEHAW, AMERICA F**K YEAH!

But remember, the only thing Republicans care about is jobs, jobs, jobs.

The problem is that I was not consulted first actually.

This is what makes me mad about the Republicans nowadays. They want to take abortion rights back to the 1970's. You know that time is over and done with. I vote Republican mostly yeah but this stuff makes me mad. Thats why I am not registered as a republican. To bad the libertarian party wasn't a big party I would join them instead. I am voting for Gary Johnson instead of Obama or Romney though. At least with the libertarian party they want economic freedom and believe in in freedom on social issues although I am moderate on gay marriage(I favor civil unions) and immigration.

So abortion is infanticide? Therefore, according to them, anyone who has an abortion or uses the morning-after poll should get Life in prison or the death penalty, right?

A Republican state legislator from New Hampshire (where about .1% of the state serves in the legislature) is making news with his views.

A finding from the Iowa Supreme Court, which you'll recall, had three members booted out by a Republican effort after they ruled in favor of marriage equality.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/iowas-all-male-supreme-court-firing-of-woman-for-being-too-attractive-was-legal.php

It's an all-male panel, like that panel that testified to Congress a few years ago about why women shouldn't have contraception included with their employer health coverage.

That's actually a common phrase in Nova Scotia meaning "mind your own business" or "you don't know crap about this topic". I've used to refer to both men and women.

Woman sees her salary reduced by $20k from that of her male predecessor.

Problem:  Woman is Washington state GOP chairwoman.

Rush Limbaugh makes a lighthearted comparison of filibuster reform to rape.

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/11/rush-limbaugh-filibuster-rape-analogy-100269.html

Do you remember when Republicans tried to criticize him for his misogynistic comments, and then had to apologize publicly within two days?

The chairman of the Montgomery County PA Republican Committee has been arrested.  He allegedly offered a ride to an employee at his law firm after a work party, offered her alcohol secretly laced with Ambien, and then raped her twice.

Michigan's legislature must consider a citizen petition requiring Michigan women to take out "rape insurance."

Don't feel bad, Torie, I doubt any irrelevant nobodies were consulted.
