Republican Pride

The current minority party residents in the House continue to set the bar to a whole new level as they revel in their unequivocal mastery of asshattery:

On Wednesday afternoon, the House had just voted, 412 to 0, to pass H. Res. 1113, "Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day," when Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), rose in protest.

"Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote," he announced.

Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), who has two young daughters, moved to table Tiahrt's request, setting up a revote. This time, 178 Republicans cast their votes against mothers.

Just wait - it gets even more ridiculous. From the actual transcript, we get further information as to why Rep. Tiahrt wanted to reconsider the vote:

Mr. Speaker, I ask for a recorded vote because I’m sure every member wants their mother to know that they have supported the goals of Mother’s Day.

And yet, this very person who requested to be on record in support of Mother's Day actually went on record to not support it.

Kansas

Nay KS-1 Moran, Jerry [R]
Aye KS-2 Boyda, Nancy [D]
Aye KS-3 Moore, Dennis [D]
Nay KS-4 Tiahrt, Todd [R]

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the "party of morals" in all its glory and stupidity, the party that apparently holds Christmas and the Christian faith in higher regard than their own mothers.

The party that only a mother could love.
