Influencing Arrogance.

This notion that the North Korean nuclear threat and the recent airing of an insurgent sniper shooting as propaganda to influence the November elections is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. I’m going to let you in on a little secret…IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!

I am shocked though not shocked that the Republicans, and it is only Republicans, playing this weak, weak card. To posit that North Korea and the insurgency are keeping track of all of the candidates in this November election and want to tip the scale one way or the other is ludicrous. Also, being that it is only Republicans that are saying this they allude to, but never actual say it, that this influence is tipped toward the Democrats winning. Following this line of thinking the Republicans are trying to subconsciously inject into the mind of the public that the insurgents in Iraq, terrorists and Kim-Jong Il all support the Democrats because they are weak on the issues that affect them. Once again the craftiness of the Republicans in power that will do nearly anything to keep seats in Congress is simply mind-blowing.

It’s not always good to be the center of attention, and believing that we are when we aren’t can be even more dangerous. Come on fellas, lose the ego, see the truth.

Musgrave’s got issues.

Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO) on gay marriage:

“But, you know, when I was in the last weeks of my last campaign, you know what I was thinking? Where’s our side? What are they doing? And I believe that when you’re in a cultural war like this, you have to respond with equal and hopefully greater force if you want to win this battle. But this battle is the most important issue that we face today, and what an honor it has been to serve in the United States Congress and carry the Marriage Amendment.

ThinkProgress has a video.

Are you kidding me!? Most important issue, right. Because the gays and their damn desire to joint-file their taxes are destroying this country. Why just last week I saw a group of gays trample over some suicide bombers, illegal immigrants and homeless people on their way to the ‘Pro-gay-marriage-we-want-to-take-over-the-world Rally’. The nerve of them, wanting to take part in the freedom that we won’t let them fight for.

Yikes.
