In response to no-hands-washing Sen. Thom Tillis, "Teabaggerism taken to its logical extreme," Paul Constant of The Stranger writes:
Then, tomorrow, I'd hold another press conference. "You know," I'd say, "I know I smoked for many years, so you might not expect me to say this, but I'm really glad we have a system of laws in place that keep cigarettes out of the hands of kids. If anything, I'd like to make those laws stronger." You'd probably get some great video after that of Rand Paul arguing that 10-year-olds should be allowed to choose between Marlboro and Camel cigarettes because it's in the Constitution. The next day, I'd talk about anti-asbestos laws.
Then, I'd talk about laws that keep brothers and sisters from marrying. And so on.

(12,882 posts)I think our roads and bridges are acceptable the way they are. Once in awhile, a bridge may fail, but really, relatively few of our minion millions are injured or killed in such an incident. Staying focused on lowering the debt is something that affects everybody - fixing a bridge only benefits a few.

(19,288 posts)And the the Republicans did a collective dead faint because, The President Of The United States, dared to address our school children.
( Republicans are a bunch of contemptuous psychopaths)
Republicans seem to have a way of displaying revulsion and disgust so authentically the whole county recoiled in reaction. Isn't that what they practice? Reactionary politics?
He should address our school kids everyday he feels like it. Yeah, and all the rest of us too.
Gobama!
I love our Prez.
