The Democrats in Washington always seem to get suckered in to responding to Republicans claims that they are weak on defense. Instead of playing along with them and scrambling to say "No were not, We're tough too." they need to take this off the board permanetly. Just playing along with this crap is what gave it creedence in the first place. Say Pee Wee Herman were to claim that he was a total bad ass, and that Mike Tyson wasn't nearly as tough him. Would anyone take that seriously? Hell no, unless somehow Tyson were to let him get away with it. If that were the case, Pee Wee could keep saying it. Over and over again, for several years. And what if Mike Tyson's only response was "No I'm not, I'm tough too" every time the stupid claim was made? Would people some how start thinking that Pee Wee was tough.
Well, that's what happend, kids. So It's time for Iron Mike to quit playing along and do the obvious.
More down there. Down where? Down there!
The Democrats should
never, under any circumstances give this any validity again. The next time someone says the Democrats are weak, the response needs to be "I can't even pretend to take this seroiusly anymore, when have Democrats ever failed in defending this country, and why in the world anyone consider Republicans tough?" And the rest could go something like this.
"Once upon a time, America had a formidable adversary: the Soviet Union. These guys were so tough that they were actully capable of turning every square inch of this country into radioactive dust at the push of the button anytime they felt like. We lived with that threat all day every day for over thirty years. But it wasn't a problem, the Democratic party was in the majority the whole time. Meanwhile, the powerless Republicans were talking about Star Wars, so noone took them seriously. Back then, when we had real enemies, Americans weren't afraid of anything or anyone. We knew how to win back then. Remember how a few years ago those Republicans were saying that a war in Iraq would be a cake walk? They look like idiots now, don't they. But one time we did go to war with them Democrats were the majority party back then. So it ended up being a cake walk for us back then."
"With the Republicans running the show today however, Amaricans have become afraid of stuff they would have laughed at just ten years ago. Mabey it's because today the Republican party isin the majority, run by a bunch of nutjobs called Neocons. These are rich blue blooded wimps who say they supported the war with Vietnam, even though didn't serve when they had the chance. They all could have fought for their country, (just like they expect kids other than their own to do today) but none of 'em did. They weren't willing to fight for what they belived in then, yet expect others to fight for them now. Not long after they finished not serving in Vietnam, (due to a lack of testicular fortitude IMHO) these cowards soon began a gradual take over of the Republican party. While the Democratic majority was finishing off the cold war, these weaklings tried to scare Americans by whiningWe need Star Wars missle systems in outer space to protect us from the Soviets!! They figured that if they could scare Americans bad enough,the people would put the Republicans in the majority. But Americans were still tough people back then and would have none of it. Americans didn't listen to trash talking wimps back then. As a result, the Democratic majority won the cold war, and thentopped it off with a cake walk through Iraq. At the same time the Neocons finished their takeover of the Republican party. Then they suddenly started acting as though they tough. It was easy for them to now, since the Dems had taken out any possible opponents and America was the lone superpower in the world. The Republicans acted as though they had been the ones fighting. The Democrats should have shut them up back then, but hell, they could only take them about as seriously as Mike Tyson would have taken Pee Wee Herman claiming to be the baddest man on the planet,so why bother. As time went by the Republicans lies gradully (so gradully that no one noticed) become accepted. The Dems overlooked this and ended up allowing the Republicans to talk enough shit to convince Americans that they were tougher than the Dems. For the first time in 40 years, the Republicans had gained the majority."
"As a result of this bold new leadership, Americans have since managed to sink so low that we are now living in fear of a few guys in caves with box cutters. It would almost seem like a sick joke if not for the fact that the Republicans have failed so badly that these days a few guys with box cutters destroyed the Twin Towers. Hell, they even hit the pentagon itself with the Neocon Republican majority handeling our defense. They go out of their way to keep Americans in constant fear, so they will give up their freedoms for Republican security ideas. And what is that Republican plan to defend Americans? We need Star Wars missle systems in outer space to protect us from the terrorists!"
" There is one thing the terrorist will never get to do however.There is one thing in this country the terrorists will never be able to destroy thanks to Republican leadership: the city of New Orleans."
OK, mabey a little less snarky than that, but I'm dead serious. No more playing along with their shit. Time to bite Pee Wee's ears off.
