Let’s face it, the Retardican mentality is still looking for payback for Watergate and Irangate.

The Retardicans were smart enough to to realize a bill containing a “health” exception could be perverted to mean literally ANYTHING the woman wants, including mental health-like she will “just die” if she has to pay child support and she let it go too long to have a regular abortion.

“Retardicans” ? A New Word for GOP’s
Posted: June 28, 2010 by Chef Jeffrey Allen Kaufman in Uncategorized

“Retardican” comes from the melding of the words Republican and Retard. After hearing all the drama over the Palin ordeal, and then thinking that somehow that “retard” word surely does apply when you think of her last attempt at election, I have decided that despite the harm that may come from offending a real retarded person, using the combination might quell any issues with the word being used. After all we are addressing the “retards” of the political world, no not you people, who voted for McCain, but McCain and the Retardican politicians in general. I mean, how do you expect the civilian populace to handle such a horrible agenda of back pocket racism, attacks on unemployed Americans, and mass political bullsh*t that has done nothing but hinder and destroy America? How should we handle it? Name calling at this point would be mute, so I guess a title of endearment is in order.
