Republican Policy Hall of Shame

/bathroom
working to weaken labor, strengthen owners, when the opposite is needed:
- "right to work" laws (dishonest)
- opposition to minimum wage raises
- opposition to workplace safety regulation
anti-gay laws
anti-abortion laws
"aid creates dependency"
tax cuts for the rich
anti-contraception
"abstinence-based education"
creationism
opposition to Obamacare
- voted 50 times to repeal it
repeatedly investigated Benghazi, even after their own committee found no wrongdoing
wrote a letter to our enemies weakening our hand in negotiations
the whole "birth certificate" nonsense
deliberate obstructionism
holding the government hostage (fiscal cliff)
states' refusal to expand Medicaid under Obamacare
requiring welfare recipients to be drug-free
obsession with profit and "free" markets, by which they mean more power for the powerful
state laws restraining local government:
- from protecting the rights of gays, trans people, etc.
- from creating municipal internet
- from making laws (e.g. zoning) that take accelerated sea-level rise into account
- from having any autonomy at all (see Michigan, Wisconsin)
anti-ecology laws
voter ID laws
gun control prevention
hypocrisy: using "the sanctity of marriage" as an anti-gay argument, while themselves being philanderers
