Our Country Needs More Of This

I'm serious -- the more Republicans continue to act like this, the better our chances of finally ridding America of the GOP once and for all:

Republican lawmakers in Michigan, a state which eliminated tax credits for children last year, have proposed a tax credit for unborn foetuses of 12 weeks gestation.

If the measure, outlined in two bills heard by the house tax policy committee on Tuesday, becomes law it would be the first of its kind in the US.

Critics said the proposal was "absurd" and described it as a backdoor way of trying to pass "personhood" legislation which would give rights to an embryo and crack down on abortion.

The Michigan house of representatives this year passed part of a three-bill package that would restrict access to abortion and heavily regulate clinic that performs them. Republican leaders have come under fire for banning a Democrat from speaking after she said the word "vagina" in a debate on an abortion bill earlier this year.

I had held out some hope that the GOP's crushing defeat in the last election would have caused the Republicans to discard far-right extremism and re-adopt the more moderate approaches of Nixon, Reagan, and Bush I. Then I remembered that this is the very same political party that wanted to intentionally bring down the American economy just because a good percentage of its members hate Obama.

I seriously doubt the GOP's defeat twenty days ago did anything to lessen this hatred for the President.  That's why I believe that the extreme elements within the Republican Party will do whatever they can to stop Obama from having a successful second term, even if it means bringing down this country. I'm convinced they'd rather see America fail than see it succeed under an Obama presidency.

So Rush Limbaugh -- do your worst.  Fox News -- please continue with all your bullshittery.  Get the American Taliban all fired up. The sooner Republicans make their kamikazi run on this country, the sooner we can be rid of them.  Let's just hope they don't cause too much damage on their way out.
