SDGOP admits they're all nuts

If the South Dakota Legislature had a Homeliest Man on Campus contest Jim Bolin would probably win.

They're not even trying to hide their insanity anymore.

State Republican leaders said social issue bills are far from the only proposed legislation getting attention this year at the State Capitol. Senate Majority Leader Kris Langer admits those bills do grab headlines. House Majority Leader Lee Qualm agrees. Assistant Senate Majority Leader Jim Bolin says while social issue bills may be distracting at times they highlight the open ability of the South Dakota legislature to let anyone with any idea bring proposed legislation.

Last week in Vermillion frustration with Fred Deutsch's insanity reached a fever pitch.

Nicole Clade, pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Vermillion, posed a two part question to District 17 legislators early Saturday morning. “I work with a lot of LGBT youth, specifically trans youth and their families, and I would like to know how you would like me to respond, specifically you Rep. Rasmussen, about what to say when they ask me why our state government doesn’t trust them to make the best medical decisions on behalf of their family,” she said. “My second question is how we you all respond when the suicide attempts and rates and successes go up in our state this next year, specifically among our trans youth?” [Vermillion Plain Talk]

Anyone who believes Fred's never groped a teenager is delusional; but, applaud the nutball Republican efforts diverting attention from the party’s culture of corruption where murders and their covers up are commonplace by clogging the legislative session with christianic religionist argle-bargle. More nuttery from the extreme white wing of the Republican Party is simply another way to own the libs. In South Dakota local control is Republican control. That any Democrats still live in my home state remains a mystery.
