The Republican Caucus Room Conspiracy Might Even Kill You
The Republican Caucus Room Conspiracy is putting all of our lives at risk. As the condition of Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola in Texas, continues to worsen, and as fears over Ebola spreading in the U.S. continue to grow, the right-wing media is lashing out at the U.S. Surgeon General. So who is the Surgeon General?
The Surgeon General is America's top doc. He or she gives unbiased information to the American people about health crises and health risks. It's the Surgeon General's responsibility to educate the people and help us understand what we do and don't need to worry about. The Surgeon General helps cut through all of the fear-mongering and misinformation. But the folks over at Breitbart don't think that the Surgeon General is doing his/her job.
In a recent piece, Breitbart points out that, "The official website of the Surgeon General of the United States has nothing to say about Ebola prevention and detection, other than an old press release about relief efforts in Liberia." Well, there's a good reason for that.
The U.S. doesn't have a Surgeon General right now, and it's all because of Republicans' non-stop efforts to sabotage the Obama presidency.
Back in November of last year, President Obama nominated Dr. Vivek Murthy to take over the role of the nation's top doc. Murthy is more than qualified for the position, but unfortunately, he did something that many in Washington won't: he stood up to the NRA.

Full Show 10/3/14: Jon Stewart Slams the GOP
Tonight's "Big Picture Rumble" discusses Jon Stewart's rant on how the GOP is all about saving Americans from ISIS & Ebola, but not things that are actually killing Americans, the GOP's continued war on voting in the lead up to the midterm elections, and the ACLU lawsuit against Alabama over their extremely radical anti-abortion law.
