Despite imposing majorities in both houses of Congress, the Democratic Party has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is completely incompetent and unqualified to manage a Baskin-Robbins, let alone the U.S. government.
After months of wrangling, the so-called "Group of 10" has agreed to jettison the public option in the health care reform bill and replace it with an extension of Medicare benefits which allows people between 55 and 64 to buy into the government program. Nice. Did the GOP take your lunch money too, Senator Reid? Grow a set, will ya?
What a bunch of wimpy, unprincipled, undisciplined, self-absorbed, gutless weasels. Despite polls that show that the overwhelming number of Americans support a public option, Majority "leader" Harry Reid has caved into Republicans, dropping the option from the plan. Let me repeat that.... he caved to Republicans, NOT conservative Democrats. If he were a real leader, he would have smacked those conservative Democrats into line, got their votes, and told the GOP to go pound sand.
Democrats have proven that they don't deserve to be in the majority. They have proven that they can't get anything done. They have proven that they can't stand up to the bullying of the Republican party, that they will turn tail and run at the first sign of a fight, that when the going gets tough - Democrats turn chicken, they fold like a house of cards. I am truly ashamed that I voted to support this party. It is embarrassing. The Democrats are to politics what the Cleveland Browns are to football, perennial losers that aren't even good enough to be pitied.
I will vote Republican from now on, because at least something will get done. No matter how odious, un-American, anti-constitutional, backwards, theocratic, ignorant, and hateful their agenda might be, at least they can implement it. Democrats have only themselves to blame. Given the reins of power, they showed they are way out of their league.
So, a few years from now, when were are saying our daily government mandated prayer to the Sweet Baby Jesus for the health of President Palin and Vice President Beck, under several feet of water due to the complete melting of the polar ice caps, with the wealthiest among us getting wealthier by the minute and the poorest poorer, and planning the invasion of the rest of the Muslim world, we can hark back to a time when we had a chance to make the country and the world better and recall that spineless Democrats failed us miserably.
