Thursday Open Thread [4.4.13]

Here are two stories with somewhat of a similar theme to them, and that is, "if people know the truth, they wouldn't like us," with us being the Republican Party and organized religion. First, the good old GOP. Gary Bauer, a former Republican presidential candidate and religious right stalwart, told some truth about the varied and now disperate factions of the GOP:
"If we gave our voters an accurate portrayal of our ideas, that we want to cut the rate of growth on Social Security, give tax cuts to billionaires and then the values issues, the values issues would be more popular than the economic agenda of the current Republican Party.”
It is always refreshing when a Republican tells the truth, if only because it is so rare.

Thursday Daily Delawhere [4.4.13]

The Vice President, also known here are Papa Joe or Uncle Joe, with what I can only describe as a "I will destroy you" look at a Delaware Lady Blue Hens game recently. Normally we present pictures of Delaware places and landscapes here at Daily Delawhere and not of Delaware people, but I liked this picture.
