In Honor of Sunday being “Mother’s Day,” here’s to all you mothers out there doing the one thing the GOP seems to respect you for doing.

Because a bigot vote and an ignorant vote is still a vote.
Here’s the story from @huffpo, with the important part in bold:
An awkward moment occurred at Mitt Romney’s town hall event in Cleveland, Ohio on Monday when an audience member, in the process of asking him a question, asserted that President Barack Obama should be tried for treason. Romney remained silent during the question-and-answer session, only to saythat he “of course” did not agree with the sentiment while greeting voters after the event.
The incident nevertheless illustrated what seems likely to be a tricky proposition for Romney as the general election season progresses: balancing the anti-Obama sentiments of the party’s base with the need to maintain a civil level of discourse.
“We have a president right now that is operating outside the structure of our Constitution,” the audience member said to applause. “And I want to know — yeah, I do agree he should be tried for treason — but I want to know what you would be able to do to restore balance between the three branches of government and what you are going to be able to do to restore our Constitution in this country.”
Romney didn’t correct the woman, choosing instead to address the question she posed.
Like the sign says: Ask Mitt anything. Just don’t be surprised when this happens:

Mitt Romney: Flip Flop Face!
It was just too easy.
Although to be fair to Harvey Dent, I think both sides are bad guys here - regardless of the coin flip.
“Metaphorically, son! That’s a metaphor I say!”
Wealthy GOP super PAC donor Foster Friess, fresh off announcing a conversion from Rick Santorum’s corner to Mitt Romney’s, drew a little unwanted attention Wednesday when he used gun imagery to weigh in on the shifting state of the 2012 race.
“There are a lot of things that haven’t been hammered at because Rick and Mitt have been going at each other,” Friess said during an interview on Fox Business News. “Now that they have trained their barrels on President Obama, I hope his teleprompters are bulletproof.”
He quickly went on to admit that he “probably shouldn’t have said that.”
It’s not the first time Friess has created controversy during a media appearance.
In February, then a top surrogate for Santorum, Friess spoke with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell about what he described as the triviality of the contraception debate.
“This contraceptive thing, my gosh it’s such [sic] inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly,” he said.
He later apologized for the failed “joke.”
Yes, because now is the perfect time to be cracking wise about training a gun on a black guy. Well timed, Foster. Nicely done, Foghorn Asshorn.
So why is the media still interviewing this country fried fool? Because he’s rich? Because his name sounds like an ice cream chain? Or because every time he flaps his gums, it’s a reminder of the old school, mint julep sippin’, dick on a porch mentality that the GOP loves.
You backed the wrong horsesh*t. Now that Santorum is returning to the dining room table in crazy town, it’s time for you to go away.
That’s all folks.
So, Mittens said this today:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday said that President Barack Obama had taken his war on faith to the next level by wanting to establish a new “religion” for the purpose of rejecting all religious doctrines.
At an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a supporter asked the candidate what the Obama administration’s motive was for mandating that the health insurance provided by all religious institutions cover contraceptives for women.
“I think there is in this country a war on religion,” Romney replied. “I think there is a desire to establish a religion in America known as secularism.”
“They gave it a lot of thought and they decided to say that in this country that a church — in this case, the Catholic Church — would be required to violate its principles and its conscience and be required to provide contraceptives, sterilization and morning after pills to the employees of the church. … We are now all Catholics. Those of us who are people of faith recognize this is — an attack on one religion is an attack on all religion.”
He added: “It’s one more reason we need to get rid of Obamacare. It’s also one more reason we need to get rid of Obama.”
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), who was campaigning with Romney, explained that Obama’s philosophy was to treat “our Constitutional rights as revocable privilege from our government.”
“If that’s what this president is willing to do in a tough election year, imagine what he’ll do after the election if he never has to face the voters ever again,” Ryan warned. “We should never give our government that kind of power.”
Dictionary.com defines secularism as “a system of political or social philosophy that rejects all forms of religious faith and worship.”
If this is who you are, stay zipped.
Seriously.
If he fails to best Mitt Romneyin the race for the party nomination, Rick Santorum would be open to serving as vice president, the former Pennsylvania senator told the Christian Broadcast Network on Monday.
Here’s a partial transcript of the interview with CBN’s David Brody, which will air later this week:
Brody: If he for some reason asks you to be the vice presidential candidate on his ticket? I know, after is all said and done. Would you even consider it?
Santorum: Of course. I mean, look. I would do in this race as I always say, this is the most important race in our country’s history. I’m going to do everything I can. I’m doing everything I can. I’m out there. In the last 10 months, I’ve had five days off. Two for Thanksgiving, and three for Christmas.
I’ve been working every single day. My wife and my kids, we’re just busting our tail, because we know their future and all of our children’s future is at stake in this election. And I don’t want to be the guy who has to sit with my granddaughter, 20 years from now, and tell stories about an America where people once were free. I don’t want to have that conversation.
Brody: So, you’re keeping your options open.
Santorum: I’ll do whatever is necessary to help our country.
Yeah, after your last few classless days, I’m sure Mitt’s gonna welcome you with open arms.
Between this and raving on the steps of the Supreme Court today, I’m wondering if you should be taken in for observation.
Help our country? I’m terrified you’re going to harm yourself. Note to his family: Please keep the sharp things away from Rick.
Lunatic.
