My continuing saga of Republican fundy conservatives in my little town...

[Raven]

I posted the lead up to this yesterday and I won't bore you with repeating it. Today I had the showdown. Two of these guys were invited to the meeting...they brought eight. Like the little pigs, they huffed and they puffed and threatened to blow the house down and defeat the workforce housing article that is up for a vote at town meeting. All of this because they are not getting to build it. They want the contracts but they don't want to have to compete for them. They want preference, no bid, no nothing. They are extortionists...but they go to church so they are good upstanding moral fellows. Gag me.

So, anyway...I finally said "Go ahead, defeat the article, kill the housing for your children who can't afford to live in this town...that's a guaranty that you won't get the work isn't it. So, let me get this straight, you'll kill the housing and you'll kill the jobs."

Isn't that perfectly Republican? Do these people all take the same pill?

So anyway, it's over...I have it on record thanks to good advice from DU'ers and, as my mother used to say "they can stew in their own juices" whatever that means.
