CR: God Created Teleprompters For A Reason
This comment rescue comes from our resident spammer, Rebuild the GOP. One thing about Limbaugh’s speech, he didn’t read to the audience, he talked to them. Without a teleprompter Obama…

Deep Thought of the Day
The Republican Party is to governing as Zsa Zsa Gabor is to marriage --- many attempts followed by many failures.

Did Someone Put Something In Colorado’s Drinking Water?
The crazy is pouring out of Colorado. CPAC might consider holding their next conference in the Centennial State.
SEN. DAVE SCHULTHEIS, R-Colorado Springs, on Wednesday voted againt Senate Bill 179, which requires pregnant women to undergo HIV testing to ensure steps can be taken to reduce transferring the disease to the baby if the mother is infected.
* What he said during the debate: “This stems from sexual promiscuity for the most part and I just can’t go there. We do things continually to remove the consequences of poor behavior, unacceptable behavior, quite frankly. I’m not convinced that part of the role of government should be to protect individuals from the negative consequences of their actions.”
* What he said afterward: “What I’m hoping is that yes, that person may have AIDS, have it seriously as a baby and when they grow up, but the mother will begin to feel guilt as a result of that. The family will see the negative consequences of that promiscuity and it may make a number of people over the coming years … begin to realize that there are negative consequences and maybe they should adjust their behavior. We can’t keep people from being raped. We can’t keep people from shooting each other. We can’t keep people from jumping off bridges. People drink and drive, and they crash and kill people. Poor behavior has its consequences.”
Looks like the Republican Party has found its Hope message. “What I’m hoping is that yes, that person may have AIDS, have it seriously as a baby and when they grow up, but the mother will begin to feel guilt as a result of that.” Add this bit of genius to Rush Limbaugh’s hope that Obama fails.
More Colorado insanity after the jump.
