Texas Republitards pissed at Texas Republicans

[Michchamp]

This episode kida shows the distinction between the completely stupid and unethical faction and the sort of halfway-decent faction both fighting for control of what used to be the Republican party.

Remember those OBVIOUSLY doctored "Planned Parenthood videos" that purportedly showed Planned Parenthood personnnel offering to sell off aborted fetus parts? a number of GOP candidates, notably Carly Fiorina, made them into a big thing and publicly campaigned about defunding PP.

Here in Texas the idiot governor and idiot AG did a lot of Bible thumping over it, and the legislature made noise about defunding PP completely.

then the Texas AG kicked the can over to the Harris Co (Houston area) DA to convene a grand jury to try to indict Planned Parenthood for something. Since you can't get elected to the DA's office in Harris county with a "D" next to your name, they figured this was a slam dunk. oops.

not only did the Grand Jury NOT indict Planned Parenthood... they moved to indict the Republitard Frauds who edited the videos with felony tampering with government record offenses! ouch.

there's a good write up here (by a Harris County Republican disgusted and fed up with the Republitards).

Of course True Republitards are doubling down, trying to say the investigation and grand jury findings were biased, etc.

I personally think you have mixed up the "true Republicans".

The Republican party has obviously been hijacked by some extremists.

Now, let's analyze that for a second. Does it sound similar to another group of people?

How about I spell it out for you....

The Islamic Religion has been hijacked by some extremists.

Now, you piss and moan when anyone says "all Muslims are terrorists"...and honestly you are correct with those complaints because most Muslims are not Extremist Terrorists.

Returning to your Republican bashing, not every Republican is a Tea Bagging extremist. I for one fully support Planned Parenthood. Many Republicans are Moderates.

So, instead of lumping all Republicans under your Republitard grouping, please start grouping them in a separate way, say "Extremist Tea Baggers" as an example.

Thank you for at least considering it. I get that you are trying to rile up the opposing group, but your methods here are no better than, say, j2x with his posts on the UM board. You're better than that, no? You recognize not every Republican is in the Tea Bagger camp, right? Just like not every Muslim walks around with explosives strapped to their body.

As for the substance of the OP...i am glad the people who made those disgusting videos are potentially going to be held accountable. Pretty sick and twisted to even come up with the idea of selling fetus parts let alone creating a video that claims this is happening.

Extremists have no morals or ethics while proclaiming their higher values.

Does MC get bent out of shape when you lump all Muslims together? Seems to me that he'd be just as likely to keep going and lump all religious people together.

Sometimes it's not clear how these thing are going to play out. Who bashes who.

no, I am not the fervent nonbeliever I was in my 20's. I only keep the "Christians Behaving Badly" thread going out of nostalgia for the days of my wild, newly atheist, unattached mid 20's.

The only really good part of that thread are the diner reviews.
