6 Foolish things the GOP are focusing on besides Job Creation

Raw Story does a great piece of the GOP's failure to create jobs. Please check out what they have wasting time and our taxes dollars on:

1) Curtailing Abortion Rights
A top priority for Republicans, H.R. 3, "The No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act" is on its way to passage in the House after successfully maneuvering through the Judiciary and Ways And Means Committees.


2) Defunding Planned Parenthood

The House last month approved a measure 240-185, sponsored by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), to cut off all $317 million in Title X funding for Planned Parenthood and all other health care providers that offer abortions.

3) Defunding NPR

In the wake of James O'Keefe's highly edited video sting that defamed National Public Radio executives, House Republicans last week called an emergency session to push through legislation that eliminates taxpayer funds to the radio-based news agency. It passed 228-192 on a partisan vote, winning over no Democrats and losing 7 Republicans.


4) Investigating American Muslims
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-NY) held a controversial hearing two weeks ago about the extent of radicalization within the American Muslim community. 


5) Declaring English As America's Official Language
Liberating Americans from ever needing to learn another language, Republicans this month introduced the "English Language Unity Act," which would declare English as the official language of the U.S.

The bill declares that "all citizens should be able to read and understand generally the English language text of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the laws of the United States made in pursuance of the Constitution."

6) Reaffirming The "In God We Trust" Motto
The House Judiciary Committee last week approved a GOP resolution reaffirming the motto of the United States as "In God We Trust" -- you know, just in case people forgot what America was all about.

I hope folks remember why the voted for the GOP, especially those silly impatient gays.

Great Hera! Those Sons of Jackals (GOP) are Threatening to Block everything, mostly for the Bush Tax Cuts

Those trifling bastards! The GOP cretins are threatening to block all of the Dems initiatives, including the repeal of DADT.

They even had the nerve to send Sen. Harry Reid a letter, talking about it:

From TPM

This was written by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and signed by all 42 Republicans. They are trying to push as far as can into next year.

Well, Reid received the letter and replied:

"My Republican colleagues...know that the true effect of this letter is to prevent the Senate from acting on many important issues that have bipartisan support. With this letter, they have simply put in writing the political strategy that the Republicans pursued this entire Congress: Namely, obstruct, delay action on critical matters, and then blame the Democrats for not addressing the needs of American people. Very cynical, but very obvious. Very transparent."

Let's hope the Dems can move pass this foolishness. And I hope Obama just override their mess and continue with the repeal.

Newsflash: Republicans are not Fans of ending DADT, especially the Tea Party

This isn't a surprise, but maybe it is to the silly gays who voted GOP this election. The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found out how the Repubs really feel about repealing DADT.

According the poll, Republicans are divided on whether to allow open service by gays and lesbians -- 40% of Republicans favor it and 44% oppose. Perhaps as important, key groups likely to have an influence on Republican policies are even more opposed to allowing open service. The Pew report notes that among those who said they "agree with the Tea Party" only 38% favor and 48% oppose allowing open servece. Similarly, only 34% of white evangelical Protestants favor and 48% oppose allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly. Lack of Republican support could prevent the Obama administration from ending the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, especially if Congress doesn't vote on ending the policy before the end of this year's lame-duck session.

Hopefully, in the next 2 weeks of hearings for DADT and Prop 8; many gay folks will see how the GOP were never on our side. If Sen. McCain's rants and Sen. Graham's stance on DADT isn't enough, then the Tea Party folks should seal the deal.

This is very telling about the GOP and to those gays who voted for the Repubs, I hope you realized what you did.
