“If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire; if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores; if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote; if a generation could defeat a Depression and definegreatness for all time; if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream; and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love, then surely, SURELY we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American dream.”

re: Obama’s “you didn’t build that”

apoplecticskeptic:

“Well, actually, no, that’s not what he was saying” is what I was about to type on a friend’s Facebook thread before realizing there was simply no goddamn point to any reason or engagement at all. Which is so sad, really.

Am I surprised that context and nuance are lost on today’s throng of Obama-hating GOP lemmings?

No.

But, seriously, people… use your fucking brains every once in a while. You embarrass yourselves, and you diminish all human beings with your pathetic and obvious selective hearing and shocking levels of self-delusion.

All we have to do is replace Obama. We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don’t need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate. Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become President of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.

Also, Mitt Romney says the “worst” part of Obamacare is that “the federal government will get between you and your doctor.” Just like Republicans do with patients and doctors at Planned Parenthood, right Mitt?

rabbleprochoice:

FUCKING SERIOUSLY.

I guess I’m not that concerned with the federal government interfering with my health care WHEN IT ALREADY FUCKING DOES.

Jesus Christ, sometimes the level of cognitive dissonance that republicans have is literally unbelievable. Do they not listen to the words they say?

Goddamn hypocrites.

Love,

Rabble

This decision will have a massive effect on the lives of literally millions of people. Mitt Romney may have joked yesterday that the White House was ‘not sleeping real well’ last night. But a lot of people tonight and in the future will sleep a lot better for this result.

Here’s the thing about Rick Santorum’s “What a snob!” jab at the president.

inothernews:

Look at the video again and you can see, hear, and feel the contempt in Santorum’s voice. He hates the president. To his core. It was unfettered, unabashed, unfiltered and utter, the utterest hatred for Obama I’ve ever heard. There was no uncomfortable laughter to mask it with, as Romney might employ; there was no soundbite of manufactured outrage, as personified by the hollow shell of a man known as Newt Gingrich. No, this was sincere disgust with the man who currently serves as commander-in-chief. Over what? Obama’s wanting our nation’s youth to pursue a college degree, or to enroll in a technical or vocational school? Over espousing higher education? Seriously?

Now Santorum’s advisers may have told him to tone it down, Rick, in the hours since that infamous ad hominem attack. But there’s no use hiding such deep-seated abhorrence. Rick Santorum embodies the worst trait of the Tea Party at its nadir: irrational hostility toward one’s political opponents. Thankfully, there were TV cameras there to capture the nuance of “What a snob!” Because reading that very quote from Rick Santorum probably elicits a “Oh, there goes Rick again, asking to be Googled!”

But seeing and hearing him say it makes it crystal clear: when it comes to Obama, Santorum is sleeping with the enmity.

Rick, I’m sorry that hearing that JFK speech on religion makes you throw up, but if it makes you feel any better, knowing that you were running for President would make him shit his pants.
