Or rather . . . how to be the governing party, part: 5622
Been thinking about this for a while, but yesterday John Cornyn (R-Amphibian) said that senate rethugs are going to try and stop Al Franken from being seated. Whatevah, but . . .
Ya know, with the world's least accountable as well as mediocre news media celebrity industrial complex, it's all about controlling the show. And who can throw up a screen of outrage like the right?
Mitch McConnell (R-Confederacy) hollered against helping Detroit. potentially driving wages for working families down further.
Even Senator Arlen Specter (R-magic bullet theory) is threatening to drag out Eric Holder's nomination as attorney general.
Remember the Democrats the last two years? With a MAJORITY for Chrissakes? Gonzales walked away, as did Rummy, Powell, etc.
Lest we forget all the get out of jail free cards handed out, HERE ya go.
It's time we faced up to it. We can't be respectful to rethugs, and expect to get it back. Ain't happening. This is the same crew who placed Jim Jeffords pictures in urinals at the Capital Hill Club. YEP, they did. These POS' also HACKED the democrats computers. AGAIN, YES! This country needs a break!
I therefore propose the "Temporary American Republican Relief Act of 2009" where you cannot filibuster in the senate without 49%, Republicans can only caucus in the cafeteria of a local DC high school, when CONVENIENT for the high school. It expires on 12/2011.
Whadda ya'll say? It's time for the Republican party to join the Whigs. Our country cannot afford them any longer.
