What is it with Republicans?

1. The Associated Press is reporting that a Colorado Republican lawmaker's behavior was less than kind. What so interesting about that?
AP:
Carrying a family Bible, a state representative-elect kicked a photographer who took a picture of him during a statehouse prayer — then was sworn into office.

Douglas Bruce went to the House floor Monday morning as a guest of Rep. Kent Lambert, a fellow Colorado Springs Republican.

When Rocky Mountain News photographer Javier Manzano took his photo during the traditional morning prayer, Bruce, who was standing, brought the sole of his shoe down hard on the photographer's bent knee....

Apparently, Douglas Bruce needs to read the contents of the Bible.

2. A Mitt Romney photo-op with an unemployed single mother was staged. The woman was actually the mother of a Romney staff member, according to Politico. Was the Romney campaign too lazy to go out and find someone else?

3. Giuliani said he was an agent of change. NewsroomAmerica:
Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, once the Republican Party's frontrunning presidential contender, said Monday he is the true agent of change that can transform the business of politics in the nation's capital....

LOL!!!!! Giuliani is/was an agent of change???? Can someone explain how a campaign that says it has a lot of money cannot afford to pay campaign staff members?

4. Ohio Republican leader, Kevin DeWine, said that his party is "....alive and well..." The Newark Advocate recorded DeWine's words in front of Ohio Republicans. Do you know the size of the group? Thousands? No. Hundreds? No. According to the Advocate, one hundred people. Are just 100 people in the state convinced that the Ohio GOP is 'alive and well'? I wonder if Tom Noe and Bob Ney think that the Ohio GOP is 'alive and well'?
