What's wrong with the Democratic Party? I'll tell you... [View all]

The Democratic Party: What's wrong with them? For starters they are almost the Washington Generals of politics. They show up, get a lead and then fall apart, blow a huge advantage and walk off shaking their heads. "Maybe next time." I say 'almost' because if there is one thing the Republican party ISN'T, it is the Harlem Globetrotters. The Dems are getting beat by a bunch of ignorant loud mouth hypocritical assholes who can barely dribble the ball. So it is really more like the Harlem Globetrotters rolling over for the Teabilly Shitstompers. You wouldn't tune in to watch that. And that is how I am feeling about the Dems. I don't think it is by design either, they just are afraid they might offend someone by being partisan. "Oh, the poor Shitstompers don't need to be hung by atomic wedgies in front of the Senate and mocked for their ignorance and tiny appurtenances. "No" say the Democrats, "They need us to set a good example of sportsmanship." Screw that noise.

Obama: As someone else said when he was first elected "He could have turned us into freaking Norway." Instead Obama wanted to show everyone what a harmless, cooperative fellow he was. So he ignored his base, tried to make nice, threw out single payor and made a whole bunch of pointless concessions before there was even a demand for it. Why? Just so a bunch of hateful wingnuts and inbred racist crackers can call him a mongrel and thug and an uppity n-word who they can hardly wait to impeach. And they will if they take the Senate and they may anyway just for shits and giggles like they did with Clinton. And you can hardly find one Repug anywhere who will do more than give some tiny weenie rebuke and then heaping the miscreant with praise for being such a stalwart Nazi on gun rights and abortions.

Obama's response? He talks like Congress is dysfunctional, not just the flaming assclowns of the GOP who would burn down the country if there was one chance in a 100 that Obama would get part of the blame, who have filibustered or threatened to filibuster almost every one of his judges, who have been willing to throw the entire country into default rather than pay the bills their guy ran up. Unbelievable cowards, shit heels and dumbasses but not to hear Obama. He might make a little joke but that's it.

You know who we need for President? We need Eldrige "Penis Pants" Cleaver.
