Doc Thompson’s Rule #4 – It’s not offensive if it’s true….

Just another one of these un-American pinheads who say they want less government intrusion except they want to be able to control women’s bodies.

Clear evidence that Republicans have a one tract mind.

Welcome to another episode of “Republicans show how they like to govern!”, the show that asks the musican question:“Are they really that stupid, or do they just think we are?”

And now we have a Republican Rep who says cancer is a fungus you can get rid of my pumping bicarbonate of soda through your arteries and veins.

Dismissing Rep. Vito Berberi as an Idaho rube and an outlier on women and reproductive rights one should reflect on the fact that Barbieri’s views are no more scientifically illiterate than those of Republican Sens. Cory Gardner, Joni Ernst, Rand Paul and all the federal “personhood” bill supporters, as well as titular Republican presidential front runner Scott Walker and most of his colleagues. *So Barbieri isn’t an outlier. He’s reflective of deliberate, mainstream Republican ignorance on how women’s bodies function and a sustained, ongoing effort by right-wing politicians looking to regulate them, facts be damned. And Republican candidates and members of Congress holding the same views need to be held to the same standard of ridicule. *Additionally, the above politicians are either directly or indirectly part of the capitalist-corporate conspiracy involving the dumbing-down of America for the purpose of taking/steeling all the wealth of the public sector and that of the working class for themselves. *To para phrase Marx – Workers of the world it is now time to either rise up and fight for our equality within the capitalist/economic business and work world of the 21st century; for if we do not then we will have capitulated our place in the world and surrendered it to the whims, dictates and repression of corporate America and their ilk.

Barbieri.“Cancer is a fungus” Fiore.“Kill your kids” Perry.The extreme right-wing lunatic fringe in Nevada and Idaho is really on a roll! Oh, wait a minute, you mean they are just mainstream republicans?
