The people of Washington didnt want this and arent to blame for it either. All the crazy that led to this absurd impasse that prompted the Senates chaplain to pray last week, Save us from the madness? Thats been imported here from the rest of the country. America, you sent these guys here. They represent plenty of you, none of us. That imported brand of cuckoo is whats causing this government shutdown.Consider that the next time you find yourself slamming Washington as a political cesspool. Or as the New York Daily News put it in its memorable House of Turds front page last week, D.C. cess-pols shut down government.
The problem with that funny headline: These pols arent from D.C.
. . . You, America, send us people like Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Tex.), a former homeless man with a drug charge under his belt who had campaign bumper stickers urging the arming of fetuses: If Babies Had Guns, They Wouldnt Be Aborted!. .

(19,926 posts)since that doesn't mean the person is crazy and moronic. It shows a judgmental attitude towards both homelessness and drug use.
However, I rec and kick this post with my slight disagreement.

(9,688 posts)bumper stickers/opinions on abortion and gun control, and especially the way he states them on those bumper stickers!
cui bono
(19,926 posts)Doing so adds that into the judgment equation. It's like when someone includes a racial/ethnic description of a person in a story when it makes no difference what race or ethnicity they are.
