Uh-oh, now look what #OWS has done!

Erick Erickson, thinking he can be witty and relevant, has decided that the DFH's of #OWS have it all wrong, and has started what he is calling "We are the 53%", as a slap at those that 47% he (very wrongly) assumes don't pay taxes, of which he counts every one of the #OWS protesters as a part of.

Republican Economics = Underpants Gnome Economics

Most of you here will recognize this image:

title=

For those of you who don't, a brief explanation:
The underpants gnomes appear in an episode of "South Park" where the father of Tweek (one of the schoolkids) has received an offer from "Harbucks" to buy out his coffee shop. Tweek's father enlist the boys to write a paper about the evils of big corporations and how small family businesses are better for the economy. The boy's get a lesson in economics from the "underpants gnomes", small creatures who for mysterious reasons steal people's underwear.

As seen in their chart, their explanation on how profit is made leaves a bit to be desired. It looks a lot like the economic policies being espoused by most Republicans running for Congress these days:

Lower taxes on the rich = ? = more jobs for everyone

I got the inspiration for this from this article on TPM, talking about how the Republicans will force a showdown over healthcare if they retake either house of Congress this November. Here is my idea for an ad that every Democrat should run to let their constituents know just how much the Republicans really care about them.

In the latest bit of a Republican-gone-Tea Partier showing how nuts things have gotten, we get this from Ed Martin (R-BS Crazy), who is running to unseat Russ Carnahan in MO-03 (courtesy of TPM):

Ed Martin, a Republican candidate for Congress in Missouri, said in a radio interview with a conservative talk show host that President Obama and Rep. Russ Carnahan are trying to interfere with America's freedom to worship. Martin also has taken a swipe at Carnahan's sister Robin Carnahan, suggesting she is doing the "devil's work" as Secretary of State.

In yet the newest example of how ridiculous Republicans can get, we get this:

JEFFERSON CITY — Gov. Jay Nixon would be forced to gamble for funds to bolster the state's declining budget under legislation proposed by a few Republican lawmakers.

In today's edition of Republicans being unhindered by the need for facts or proof, we meet Peter Kinder, Lieutenant Governor of the state of Missouri:

Citing "rumors" and "third-hand reports," Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder this afternoon suggested Gov. Jay Nixon may be extorting universities to fund a top-priority health-care initiative.

The words say it all, and just as applicable today, if not more so, as it was 35 years ago.

RIP George.

From the Kansas City Star this morning:

http://www.kansascity.com/...

After years of imposing restrictions on abortion, Missouri lawmakers are now taking aim at emergency contraception, commonly known as the morning-after pill.

Legislation presented to a House panel last week would classify emergency contraception as an abortion-inducing medication, contrary to the definition used by the Food and Drug Administration.

The bill also would protect pharmacies from lawsuits and from punishment by state regulators for refusing to sell or fill a prescription for any drug defined as triggering an abortion. Supporters said it would remove any financial incentive to sue the pharmacy’s owners for refusing to sell or stock an item that violated their conscience.

Like a lot of you on this site, the last several years have been an eye-opening experience in the way our form of government works, and the challenges in keeping it functioning properly. Especially important in this, probably more so now than ever, is in having properly functioning election bodies to ensure that every eligible voter gets to cast their ballot and that every ballot is counted properly. This, for me, has probably had the most impact on how I view our democracy. I've yet to contribute to any candidate, although I will be doing so in the near future, and canvassing or phone-banking for a candidate is not something that appeals to me. I've always been interested in the nuts and bolts of a process, however, so I made the decision to become part of that process. I volunteered to be an election judge for my county.
