Democrats Are Sheep

Republicans are wolves, so at least they get shit done. When you have a taste for blood, which the Republicans finally got in 1994, you become fearless in your quest for more. More more more--this has become the mantra of the GOP since it gained control of Congress. Even when they finally lost the majority of both houses in 2006, their opposition, the Democrats, haven't done a anything substantial. Those who would disagree could cite all sorts of minor legislative victories that they managed to secure, but those happened most noticeably when Obama took over from the decade of entrail-reading and tarot governance that seemed to typify the Bush years.

It has become a cliche, but the elections that year represented a huge mandate to fix everything that that moron fucked up. So far, not much has changed. Obama signed an order to close Guantanamo, but then acknowledged that providing these humans, and they are human even though they act inhuman, with due process would be futile. He decided it would probably be easier to lock them up permanently, and then forget them.

Now, with the health care issue at the center of America's political stage, Democrats, along with President Obama, are planning to fold yet again. Kathleen Sibelius, former governor of Kanas and now Secretary of Health and Human Services, said this morning that the Democratic leadership (an oxymoron) might drop the public option from the prospective health care bill.

Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously. Are you fucking kidding me?

I understand that it's important to pass something, but, in the words of John Stossel, GIMME A BREAK.

You can't even call the Democrats cowards. I mean, they are, but it's worse than that. They simply don't have the swagger and effrontery that jackass Republicans like Bush or any of his vile cohorts had. They only graze about like brainless sheep, waiting for the next wolf to rip them apart.

Here's the thing, though, pussies: You have a majority across the board, so do something with it. Democrats can't act dilatory and then be shocked when a newly charged GOP tears them apart.

If they don't stand up and deliver, like the students of EJOlmos, they're doomed to a life of bumbling. Not staggering, but aimless bumbling. Or they can continue to get picked apart by the vultures of the GOP, who never stop circling, no matter the circumstances.

Hey, wimps, there is power in numbers (China is starting to understand this). If you actually cared for the whole as opposed to the gaping holes in your heads, you'd understand that those on the front lines may get plowed under, Civil War-style, but those in the rear will eventually stand on the corpses of these martyrs, who will not have died in vain. In the end, America would have a health care system that does not cause the rest of the world to snicker.

Honestly, if Democrats keep waiting around, getting less active and thus fatter, I shouldn't care if they get torn apart by the Republicans. What country is this, again? If it can't pass a no-brainer like a health care bill, who cares if it totally goes to shit?

I DO, MOTHERFUCKERS. Wake up, Democrats/zombies, and realize that a flock of sheep can decimate a Republican party comprised mostly of limp wolves. Let them snarl, but eventually they have to know that their sad lives are over.

Or not. The new Democratic strategy seems to be to let them re-populate, uglier and more nefarious than ever. Like Gremlins: The New Batch.
