Reply #9: But our shit doesn't even make sense. We contradict ourselves constantly

There's no sense, no continuity in mocking the individual mandate as akin to solving homelessness by mandating home purchases, then turning around and pumping that mandate as a signature accomplishment.

We can't even get this shit straight on our opponents. The Republicans are scary irresponsible hostage takers, yeah? But they're also civic-minded esteemed colleagues through whom we will find common ground and reach a bipartisan agreement that is good for the country and we should praise ourselves for reaching out to them, right?

You can't explain these whiplash, short-term fixes, you can only rationalize them. The only evidence that we have to act like this, to dispose then propose, to spend then cut, to vilify then pose for a handshake, is that we act like this.

The addict drags the TV to the pawn shop, Frenchie. The addict needs to own up to that, no matter if the boss is an asshole, the spouse is an unloving nag, and the kids are lazy jerks. Thank fuck the sofa's still here isn't much of a rallying cry.
