Oh, Those Crazy Republicans! Episodes 234 and 235

In a letter to fellow Republicans, Indiana state Rep. Bob Morris (R) called the Girl Scouts a "radicalized organization" that supports abortion and promotes "homosexual lifestyles," the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reports.

Morris said he did some research on the Internet and found "allegations that the Girl Scouts are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, that they allow transgender females to join, 'just like any real girl,' and encourage sex."

As Rep. Connie Mack (R-FL) gears up for a U.S. Senate bid, the Miami Herald runs a brutal piece on his problems with personal finances, his ex-wife and bar fights.

One notable incident included baseball player Ron Gant: "Gant claims a drunken Mack repeatedly bumped into him, precipitating a fight. Mack claims Gant attacked him for no reason. During the melee, Gant head-locked Mack. Mack testified that he couldn't breath. So he starting striking and grabbing the ball player's crotch. At a certain point, the club's bouncers got involved and Mack broke his ankle. He sued Gant, who was held liable. But a jury awarded no damages."

I think it's restricting the blood flow to your brain or something.

Didn't another repub find evidence during an online search that aborted fetuses were being used in foods? The accusations they are throwing around lately don't make any sense at all. I think they are all delusional.
