Has Anyone Told the House Republican Whips That They Lost?
When I was a kid, my parents tried to impart the importance of being gracious in victory and polite in defeat. But try as I might, I can't recall the lesson about pretending to be the winner when I had been clearly and overwhelmingly defeated.
If only they had set it to music...

House republicans: see: Asshats
It takes a lot of gall to be the party that brought the world economy to the current state, doubling our national debt in the process, and then proclaim your righteousness in protecting our tax dollars.

Oh I am a worry wart after 1994 and having to listen to Jughead every morning on mornin joke tell me how he saved the country all by himself.
If we picked up four and lost two or one. We are bound to lose one or two.
By the way, is there any way you think the Dems could get one of their baseball owners to draft Bunning? He would be worse than the fascists in Oklahoma if his IQ were twenty point higher.

Um I hear the Twins need pitching. The little league field in the town I used to live in NJ was named after Bunning.

That's it Mark We will make him a professional little league coach.
Oh never mind. We cannot expose children to an evil moron.

No Dick he'd probably frighten the children and scar them for life.

In the words of Mr Tyler, the GOP can Dream On.
And also:
You talk about things that nobody cares,
You're wearing out things that nobody wears,
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear,
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year.
Mostly, I'd say the GOP hasn't realized the walls are comin' tumblin' down. Run DMC say Walk THIS Way.

With a tip o' the old tinfoil hat to Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. But rock on, my brother!

Sorry, quinn. This made some kinda sense before I posted it. But no matter. Rock on anyways!

Tyler's total tinfoil, but hard to deny a song like that. Or a half-dozen others.
I figure Orlando's on a total Aerosmith bender tonight, won't be able to reply to these comments for 3, maybe 4 days.

Toys ... toys ... toys ... in the attic
Waves of horrible mutant memories from high school. Bad craziness. Tequila sunrises and an 8-track of "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out." I was always a Stones guy. Midnight Rambler. Can't Always Get What You Want.
Stray Cat Blues.
But Steven came up with Liv. So maybe there's hope for us all.
Thanks for the memories. "Back in the Saddle"? C'mon, boys, that was a b-side.

I'd recommend Highway to Hell. But I have too much respect for Angus Young.

Republicans never admit defeat.
Every end is the beginning of a new match. For some reason the Democrats think there are breathers and honeymoons between contests. Not in the real world.

Our new Prez obviously recognizes this fact you bring up Desidero. There are no breathers when you're battling the dead-enders. They have no use for small things like the American people or the "truth" or "facts."

Republicans are emboldened by Obama's willingness to listen and accommodate them. Like all who are power obsessed, they took his effort as a sign of weakness rather than as the sign of strength that it is. They couldn't help but to try and take advantage.
What they succeeded in doing, I believe, is to clearly reveal to the public which party is the source of the dysfunction of our Govt. So, they will find that the political rope they are stringing for Obama will be placed around their own heads instead.
