Ready,
Aim... DRAW!
 There
are a lot of good reasons to think harshly of the Republican
Party these days as their obvious, economy-trashing
buffoonery has put them squarely in the gun-sights
of nearly every
paid editorial cartoonist on the planet which, unfortunately,
makes it
damned
hard for third-chair freelancers like myself to create
an original spin on
the crisis they've concocted. So thanks a lot, GOP,
for making such obvious targets of yourselves.
That being said,
I think what I crafted today makes a very salient point
about
the
Republican
Party. As we all know, they're all about making money
for their wealthy contributors, but let's be honest...
Obamacare
is still going to make the insurance companies a boatload
of
money when it's fully implemented. The GOP would have
come out way ahead in the polls if they'd just agreed
to the legislation and, perhaps, even offered an extra
goodie
or two,
just
to look
like nice guys.
If the Republican Party had put the oil company's nuts
in a vice over the Gulf oil spill and forced them to
actually
spend the required billions to try and correct their
error the GOP would have been heroes and British Petroleum
would STILL be using hundred dollar bills as compost
for their pod farms.
In addition, the GOP could have been lip-locking the
AFL-CIO all these years, in the process ensuring that
companies like Walmart
would not only offer well-paying jobs but would
still make billions every year in profits.
In other words, they should have been competing with
the Democrats all along to make sure every working
stiff got a fair shake, but it's evidently more fun
to keep
the
honey for yourself and laugh at the flies fighting
over the vinegar.
------------
These GOP twits actually gave serious
consideration to defaulting on the debt, but one of
the very real consequences
is that the banks would have to call in their loans,
requiring you to immediately pay off your mortgage
or lose your home. I am not kidding.
Take a moment to read these seven
consequences of a default and then TRY not to think of murdering those
Tea Party idiots.
