Real Time with Bill Maher: 6.6.14 — Anthony Weiner, Jim Geraghety, Nicolle Wallace
Holy shit, Anthony Weiner actually said something important.
It’s a miracle!
That’s been the Republican strategy since day one of Obama’s presidency. Block the President at every turn, then blame him for not getting anything done. In fact, here’s Newt Gingrich openly admitting to it.
That’s why Republicans block jobs bills — so they can blame Obama for the economy still sucking. They’ve blocked budgets, resulting in a government shutdown that they then tried to blame on Obama. They’ve tried over and over again to block Obamacare, and complain that it’s a failure as they work their asses off to try to make it fail.
It’s kindergarten politics, and we need to vote these schmucks out in November. A bunch of white guys throwing temper tantrums and shouting NO! to everything just because they don’t like the president is no way to run a government, especially if we’re going to continue to pretend to be one of the greatest nations on earth.
This isn’t hate on people who vote Republicans, I have friends who do so for other principles they hold dear, but no one, I repeat no one, votes someone into office to be as childish as this. If you can’t make your legislative point bear weight on its own two legs, you don’t deserve to be walking to a government building for work every day. It’s time to look past the party associations to the real alliances that are happening in Washington and around the country. It’s time to find the representatives who will honor the wishes of their constituents. It’s time for the people to vote with more common sense. Blind loyalty gets us nowhere.

Reason #5374 to get out and VOTE in November. (and earlier if your state has primaries)
Rachel Maddow explains that Michigan Republicans passed a minimum wage increase in order to avoid a popular movement to put a larger increase on the ballot, which was likely to pass and draw Democratic voters to the polls in 2014.
Please, if you’re a Michigan voter, do not let this deter you! We still need you to show up and vote in November! This is a very important election year for Michigan. Do yourselves a favor and vote to get rid of these cowards.
