Are Republican Brains Different?

http://www.salon.com/2013/02/22/are_republican_brains_different_partner/

Article says Democrats consider the feelings and thoughts of others when evaluating risking decisions.

Republicans base their decisions on fear.

Number of subjects studied was small: 83

Better Validation:

Obama's 2012 Campaign Slogan-"Forward" versus

Rmoney's 2012 Campaign Slogan (closest I could find) "Washington is Broken"

Jesse Jackson's Keep Hope Alive versus:

Bush's fear fandango of color alerts to keep the population cowed.

How were these guys not charged with treason?

Whistle blower gets fired.

Cops who threaten to kill the President, get fired, and now are applying to get their jobs back.

I worry about the President everyday.

Racist GOP Tea Party Leader In Montana

Tear a tea bag and racist leaves fall out.

Yet another example of why the teabagging neanderthals have to be voted out of office.

McCain Meets the Crazies in the AZ (look on his face is priceless)

Trying to sell his immigration plan to Tea Bagger Crazies in Arizona.

McCain set upon by some his Palin inspired Zombies.

Didn't get the Meet the McCain treatment from this audience.

Probably wishing there were a few Ben-gayzee questions in there.

Maybe they were mad because he didn't finish building the danged fence.

Hubris as Zapruder

Just got through watching Rachel's Special Hubris. For me, it was the difference between reading The Warren Report and watching the Zapruder clip.

The only difference with Hubris, you could actually see the faces responsible for pulling the trigger.

Never trust the GOP on anything

Quoting the article:


Harry Reid, you have no one to blame but yourself for holding out your hand yet again to hostage takers and expecting them to stop taking hostages. Hey, Harry, they are hardwired to be pernicious and ignore civility, what did you expect?



Hey Harry, you represent Nevada so you should know, if you sit down at a poker table and can't spot the sucker get up--because you're it.

Quit getting played.

Kevin Spacey on House of Cards...

breaks the theater's fourth wall, speaks to the audience directly, and describes his motivations for what he is about to do.

Imagine if that happened for real:

Senator Graham: turns to the audience and says: "I don't care about no Ben gayzee, I am scared shitless about some Tea Party rube stealing my job in a primary."

Old man McCain: turns to the audience and says: "I am still pissed about 2008, and I will run as long as my wife's beer money will keep me in office. Oh, and screw you."

Shrub: turns to the audience and says: "Yeah I whiffed on that 9/11 thing because I had to stay up past 9:00 pm some nights, I didn't have my travel pillow, briefings cut into my bush cutting time, and I was worried about that bag of pretzels attacking me. Oh, yeah, Big Laden was a Clinton priority so I didn't give a rat's ass about it."

Cheney: turns to the audience and says. "I got multiple draft deferments, a new heart, got to be President, outed a CIA agent, and got away with it free and clear. Oh, by the way, sure my Halliburton stock was in a (wink) blind trust."

Seamus the Dog: turns to the audience and says: "Dirtying my dog carrier will not be the only thing I shit on. Hey Mitt how do you like me now?"

President Obama: turns to the audience and says: Watch me win the election in two words "Please proceed."
