GOP POLL: Women see the GOP as "the guy trying to break down my door in a home security alarm commercial."- LOLGOP

The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam

People who were certain the Iraq War was the right move are unsure of Obama's approach to ISIS. Kind of exactly why we elected him.- LOLGOP

Republican Shenanigans

Fundraiser For Ferguson Cop Shut Down
After raising more than $400,000 for the police officer who killed an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., two online donation pages appear to have been shut down by their organizers without explanation this weekend.

If the GOP were "stuck in the past," women would appreciate it. Barry Goldwater was a big fan of Planned Parenthood. - LOLGOP

The REAL DEATH PANELS ARE GOVERNORS!
Twenty-five states have refused to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. That leaves millions of people in the gap between being poor enough to qualify for existing Medicaid, and too poor to qualify for the subsidies available to buy private insurance on the health exchanges. Refusing the expansion is a political decision by Republican state lawmakers that will have a big economic impact for those states. What it will also cause, according to a new study from Harvard University and the City University of New York, is eight million people remaining uninsured, and up to 17,000 premature and avoidable deaths.

I like how people who claim 1 party lets the poor rip us off for millions tend to support the party that let the rich rip us off for billions.- John Fugelsang

Koch Bros Voter Data To Be Shared With GOP

REMINDER: As unions go down, so do middle class incomes.- LOLGOP

Business/Tech News

Corporations want to leave America to avoid taxes.

Immigrants want to stay and pay taxes.

Guess which one the GOP considers "people."- LOLGOP

What actually trickles down:

1. Union membership
2. Middle class income
3. Quality of Bushes

Dumbing Down The Media: Gannett Spells Its Name Wrong
Copy editors are a necessity in any newsroom, but sadly, the positions are slowly disappearing.

Recently, Gannett sacked a hefty amount of editors from its various titles across the nation, and the decision appears to have affected the top dogs. Gannett U.S. Community Publishing President Bob Dickey’s second quarter newsletter, released Wednesday, contained a major typo: Gannett was misspelled.
