Republicans stand for a lot of extreme(ly stupid, unfair, and unbelievable) things, so it’s somewhat understandable that a reasonable person might become confused when trying to figure out just how extreme the GOP is these days. After all, cleverly hidden among some of their more rational and lucid policy positions are these gems (thanks to the good folks at ThinkProgress):
They believe Medicare is unconstitutional. Hey, it’s a government program that works beautifully, but….SOCIALISM!! OBAMACARE!! DEATH PANELS!!
They believe Social Security is unconstitutional. Those who don’t believe this want to privatize Social Security, despite the fact that privatization is demonstrably a terrible, horrible, very bad idea. What, we should be setting the retired and no longer productive adrift on ice floes? Senators really should be appointed by Fortune 500 companies, knowhutimean??
They believe that the Constitution would be a REALLY GREAT thing…once they make just a few tiny little tweaks to it. Then it would be just about perfect.
They believe that masturbation is adultery, and that they should be able to stop the entire country from having sex. The National Republican Senatorial Committee must believe these things, because the sent Christine O’Donnell a $42,000 check. Right; for them sex is something that OTHER people shouldn’t be having.
At least we now know where the GOP draws the line now- NO Nazi sympathizers allowed. If there are pictures of you wearing a Waffen SS uniform on da Interwebs, you just might be TOO extreme for Republicans to (at least openly) embrace you. Period. End of Story. Who loves American more now, biatches??
