a kinder, gentler America (cont'd)

Republicans running out of groups to hate on...

You know they will have reached the pinnacle of pettiness then they vote against "Plutocratic Rich White Guys Day"...

"Republicans Vote Against Moms; No Word Yet on Puppies, Kittens."

On Wednesday afternoon, the House had just voted, 412 to 0, to pass H. Res. 1113, "Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day," when Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), rose in protest.
"Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote," he announced.
Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), who has two young daughters, moved to table Tiahrt's request, setting up a revote. This time, 178 Republicans cast their votes against mothers.

Hey Boner, make sure the door hits you on the ass (around the neck and shoulders) on the way out...

...and don't come back, ya hear?

Crybaby Boehner and Republicans walk out of Congress

I love it that he calls the Democrats out for "political grandstanding" before they walk out.

The grandstanding is voting on the Bushies' cronies contempt of Congress for refusing to testify...

hey, whatever works

In Washington, House Minority Leader John Boehner is struggling to rebrand a downtrodden and disheartened Republican Party in time for the 2008 elections. It's no wonder. Its agenda stymied and burdened by an unpopular war and an even less popular President, the GOP is being pulverized in the polls. And with its evangelical base splintered and big business supporters jumping ship, the only message seemingly uniting Republicans is disdain - of immigrants, of blacks, of gay Americans and above all, Muslims. The GOP is now the Party of Hate.
