Insane Republican conspiracy theories

So, it's bad enough that Republicans think that gay people getting married will somehow ruin straight marriages, or that all Mexican immigrants are criminals, or that government spending magically prevents businesses from spending money. Now, a Republican thinks we shouldn't have laws limiting lead in housing, because maybe someone will give their children lead poisoning just to get their landlord in trouble. Pure insanity:

Oh is this like the ridiculous conspiracy that electing a Republican automatically means we get a theocracy or that entitlement reform means completely dismantling the entire social safety net or this:



or that if you don't think mankind if the cause of global warming you completely deny any and all types of climate change ...

or that if you tend to be conservative, you deny all science of every kind ...

or that if ...

I could go on.

That individual sounds like an idiot.

And you come across as a bigot.

Yeah - it is ridiculous like that because this is actual policies that actual candidates apparently actually believe in.

I could go on.

You already did.

The VA provides “very high quality health care, period” and that the shocking scandals surrounding it were traceable to “a concerted effort to undermine the VA” led by the “Koch Brothers and others, who want to radically change the nature of society.” So that’s why the Koches are funding all those hospitals! It’s really a roundabout way of making the VA look bad.

There is a difference between idiots with stupid ideas, or even just politicians making gaffes, and belief in conspiracy theories.

Or maybe, just maybe, someone could post the particular laws that are in question so that we can see if they go a bit overboard in forcing landlords to prove that they were not the cause of a child's health problem? Naw, that would be silly.............

That's not a conspiracy theory. It's simply regulatory capture by profit machines. It's as real as boot on your neck.

That one isn't exactly crazy depending upon which one you're talking about getting elected.

Politicians say what they do to gain attention from media as well as voters. Look at Mr. Trump, going nowhere until he started making controversial statements and then continued with even more because of the overwhelming attention he has received. Politicians also say stupid things because they feel it will get them elected or reelected and guess what...it does not matter what party you belong to, its just about getting that 30 second soundbite and votes or money in the case of the new election cycles we have now which seem to get longer every election.

We are a year and a half away from the election and there are so many candidates that they have to stand out from each other, and then there are those whom the thread is about who are so insignificant that they must start building their profiles long before they even plan on running for governor as what I suspect in this case and eventually run for national office.

What a better way to gain attention than to stereotypical "Urban Legend" and drag it into your political madness, one legend that many people believe at that, and squeeze into one of the soundbites you get. It gains you national attention from a divided press core and a divided populace of haves and have not's, classic political strategy and most fall for it every time.

These people are not here for you or me, it does not matter what party they belong to, they are all about getting elected, making money, and getting reelected all for the power and their own ego's. There is not one of them who would do the right thing if it meant they would not be reelected or elected. They are all the same thing, carbon copies actually, the only difference they have are the means to get to the same end, elected, reelected, money and power. Stop falling for the same old you know what.

Securing the borders of a nation and keeping high risk individuals out is paramount to having a nation. Anything else is treason! And I'm certainly not conservative.

Republican judicial candidate - bible trumps constitution

Republicans defeat UN arms convention in congress because they think it is the NWO taking over and banning the 2nd amendment

Dear old Louie Gohmert thinks Muslim Brotherhood directed Boston bombing investigations.

Benghazi - enough said.

Federal Govt stockpiling ammunition to kill us all

I see you are not actually a lawyer, since you apparently do not actually know what treason is.

Lets be fair depending on who we're discussing some of those are not just liberal conspiracies but cold hard facts.

Hey - what are your sources for all these quotes?

"All Mexican immigrants are criminals" if you mean all illegal immigrants are criminals then you would be correct.

That's what Esquire passes off as an article these days?
Too short, didn't read.
In hindsight I wish I hadn't wasted my time.
More partisan bashing! WooHoo!

Yes and Esquire Magazine is MY GO TO news source AS WELL. You realize that what is perceived as a 'Republican ideology now' (when the constitution was drafted) were actually thought of as crazy 'Liberals' then. Republican (conservative) thought was very liberal in those times. Your Democratic party actually has a self proclaimed Socialist blue blood; and an untrustworthy scandal ridden career liar running for POTUS. Where are your OTHER candidates (the real ones with substance).
