Too
Many Kooks
I almost
hate to put pixels to virtual paper regarding
the selection process of the new speaker
of the House of Representatives because
you never know how much more batshit
crazy this process will become.
(BTW, I should mention that today's cartoon
is completely fictional as the U.S.
Capitol doesn't allow firearms within its
confines, though if the voices in your
head are insistent enough feel free to
walk a few blocks down the street
and
shoot
up
a schoolyard or two.)
The most personally amusing explanation
I've heard of why the GOP has gone completely
off
the
rails
is
because
they eliminated the earmark system in 2010.
It was ostensibly a cost-cutting measure
but it was actually just a way to bleed
services they didn't like.
Unfortunately, because
Republican leadership can no longer bribe
its members
with free money for district purposes
a they're free to vote as they choose.
No. Wrong. The reason Congress-watching
has become so much fun nowadays is that
treasonous scumbags like the Koch brothers
funded and installed
significantly large groups of flour-headed
Congressman over the past several elections
whose only qualification was that they
hated
black
people.
(In case you didn't know, the Kochs,
and other like them, have for years targeted
small-district elections, one in which
very little campaign money flowed. The
conservative PAC modus operandi was then
to simply wait until shortly before
the elections and then dump
millions
into advertising for their chosen quislings.
That, along with some impressive gerrymandering,
is why Congress quit working in 2010.)
The
accomplishments of these Tea Partians so
far has been limited to mostly voting against
Obamacare
and,
because
they
have the collective IQ's of gerbils, they
cannot understand how their votes keep
failing. Now they're pissed. They see
their window of racist opportunity evaporating
so they
now want nothing less than a Speaker of
the
House
who will literally put a noose around Mr.
Obama's
neck, all the while
singing "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah".
And I do mean literally. Small wonder Boehner
walked, or tried to.
Think I'm exaggerating? Then look no further
than partial-owner of Fox News, Rupert
Murdoch, who recently opined that what
the Republican Party
needs
is a
REAL black
president. What that means is not a reasonable,
intelligent man like Mr. Obama, but a
dark-skinned figurehead who'll garner both
the black and
the white-liberal
vote come election time and who would,
as President, function as
house-nigger
exactly like Dubya,
happily rubber-stamping any legislation
the oligarchs deem most profitable
for themselves. (Or contriving stories
about choking on pretzels when he gets
slapped around by his betters for occasionally
exhibiting a conscience.)
The GOP will eventually arrive at a
solution but Congress will still crash-and-burn
all the way to the 2016 elections, dragging America
along in its wake.
