"infallible when it comes to capital punishment"

Justice is just that. It's not infallible but it's one of the main tenants of society historically. If you'd like to get rid of justice, feel free to do so. But locking someone up for the rest of their life when they're innocent is just as bad as killing someone when they're innocent.

"the "sanctity of life" party wants all hands on deck and believes it absolutely must take a village to decide a woman's reproductive rights but when the time comes to feed, clothe, educate and provide healthcare for the children they force women to bear, they're suddenly repulsed by socialism "

It is by no means a majority that wants to keep brain dead people on life support. The woman has all the rights in the world to choose to have sex, with who, and if she or her partner decided to wear protection. If she manages to get "knocked up" or conceived a new human life, she does not have some sort of ultimate authority that in the past was only reserved for kings to kill humans without any checks and balances. In *modern* society we usually have "regulations" and checks and balances put into place to make sure the killing of a human life is done so only in necessary cases. So when a police officer shoots someone during the line of duty, even though himself/herself were in danger they *still* have to fill out a mountain of paperwork over the incident.

"feed, clothe, educate and provide healthcare"

Unlike stopping people from committing murder or burglary or providing defense, the government's limited role doesn't not include those things.

"even if that means leaving their heirs a planet that's crumbling from neglect and choking with pollution."

Very few republicans have taken this position. The EPA belongs at the state level, not the federal level. The only time pollution should be a federal matter is when the pollution literally crosses state lines (which it does) at which point federal regulation can be imposed. Currently the EPA has over stepped the bounds of the federal government. CO2 is also not a pollutant.

"Rick Santorum (this week)--even though he recently helped cover up John Ensign's sleazy, hypocritical and thoroughly disgusting extramarital affair."

Who or what? I couldn't care less. Rick isn't going to win any election.

"the *marriage is for straight people only* party thinks straight people do it best. And who would know better than the likes of Trump, Newt, and Giuliani?"

Utter bulls**t. Your post gets more convoluted the further we get into it.

"the "family values" party supposedly believes that we must do everything we can to promote marriage (between a man and a woman) and strengthen the family--which apparently includes screwing the middle class and making their lives a living hell (in a desperate attempt to get back into office and destroy the country even more than they did under 8 years of Bush)."

What the f**k does this even mean? You state a twisted version of what the Republicans support than go off on a unsubstantiated bulls**t sprint? What the hell is wrong with digg where a post so completely and utterly devoid of any intellectual thought could actually get a positive digg number.

"and who the hell even knows what these people think about education anymore? They're so deeply and truly concerned about our public schools, they say but what they're really deeply and truly concerned about is destroying teachers unions. Intelligent, and articulate SC nominees with ivy league degrees are just dreamy. Ivy league educated Presidents, OTOH, are "elitist" --unless he's an incoherent Republican from TX. Then he's a winsome bumbling straight talker just full of down home casual charm. So, to review, they want their Presidents to be scholarly and intelligent but also simple and plain spoken. They don't mind if their President uses flashcards to pronounce world leaders' names but a President who uses a teleprompter--well, that's just totally unacceptable."

You're not in full blown rant mode with not a single point in this entire garble of words. You seem to be fishing for the idea that the Republicans hate intellectuals.

"the capitalism is nirvana party doesn't think public sector workers and other working class Americans have the right to ask for job security and decent wages and benefits--but they don't object to the taxpayer footing the bill for their six figure salaries and benefits."

Public workers work for the people of the United States. If they don't care for how much tax payers can afford, they can move into the private sector. Republicans were against the bailouts moron, please review democrats.

"the capitalism is nirvana party wants homeowners with underwater mortgages to suffer for the risks they took--but they fight to eliminate as much risk and accountability as possible for the industries and corporations who bankroll their campaigns. "

This s**t is now seeping out of your eyes now. Republicans have been consistently against the efforts by Democrats to remove the risk of giving out risky loans.

"the voter integrity party wants us to believe that they'll stop whining that they are being cheated if we allow the government to card everyone at the ballot box. Oddly, their alleged concerns about voter integrity don't extend to the millions of Americans who will likely be denied their right to vote as a result of right wing's voter suppression campaign. I could go on and on. Right wing assbackwardness positively breathtaking."

Republicans have generally never claimed they were cheated out of a election. Democrats on the other hand still claim Bush stole the 2000 election to this day. Republicans have asked that those voting are verified as legitimate citizens, which somehow disqualifies "millions" of people (I'm assuming illegal immigrants).

I'm sure you could go on and on with your ranting. Perhaps you could actually make a lucid point if you kept typing long enough. I doubt it.
