BTW: The GOP-run House and GOP-Filibustering Senate Has 7% JAR
Yet, GOP Thrives on This Sort of Stuff
(Chart Credit to great Mother Jones Illustrator: Steve Brodner )
GOP/TEA/Rightwing (mostly) conspiracy theories are a cottage
industry and they have been since 2008. All of them are directed towards and
against Mr. Obama.
My question is: Is
this the same country we hear all Republicans say they love and worship and
serve with honor and dignity and integrity? Hardy seems so in view of the fact
that most of them have never bothered to dispute the garbage we have seen and
heard even today (as the chart above clearly points out).
Another
example is that all GOPers (mostly men BTW) say there is no “War
on Women,” yet we see this in this kind of thing in the Senate - bottom line:
they can run but they can't hide:
They oppose the right of a woman to control her own body.
They oppose giving women equal pay in the workplace. They oppose free and easy
access to contraception for women. They oppose health care reform (Obama-care)
which outlaws higher insurance premiums for women. They want to defund Planned
Parenthood (which provided needed health care for poor women). And they want to
slash social programs (where the majority of participants are single women with
children).
That would be enough to convince any sane person that the Republicans are truly waging war on women. They consider them to be second-class citizens – undeserving of equality with white men. And just to drive that point home, 31 Republican senators (all white men) have voted against the “Violence Against Women Act” (VAWA). This move was so far over the line that all five Republican women in the Senate abandoned their own party and voted with the Democrats.

If there is a need for anyone to see a vivid picture of
that Senate VAWA vote, then this chart meets that requirement:

And, about the job approval ratings in DC … the chart above
(from here) explains
it all. The GOP silence in the background is deafening.
