You can't handle the truth...

While I was watching Eric Cantor give his little speech today (and this comes from years of watching Republicans speak--trust me, if you wake up in the morning and a Republican tells you the sun is shining, you'd better grab your umbrella: guaranteed it's raining) the first thought that came to mind after he said his office window had been shot at was...this doesn't pass the stink test. Guess what? It probably didn't--looks like it was bullshit. Just a bit of difference between a brick thrown in anger and an idiot shooting a bullet into the air.... Republicans are also claiming that all these current terrorist acts are the fault of the...Democrats. For fuck's sake, do these people have no shame? Apparently, the Dems are supposed to shut up about it or else they'll just fan the flames and bring on even more. By this logic, one supposes that the party of law and order would advise an abused wife to just shut up about it or else her husband will hurt her even worse. And if there is anyone alive who believes were the shoe on the other foot that Republicans wouldn't be politicizing this...well, congratulations you have just been awarded the Stupidest Human Out of the Six Billion People on this Planet Award. Thank you, Mr. President--"Go for it!" sure beats the hell out of "Bring it on." First time in quite a while I cheered the President's words. And it felt great. A rarity: I was right. Turns out that despite their rhetoric about being independent-minded, how they are the voice of the silent majority, speaking out for the American taxpayer, the Tea Party is really just a radical wing of the Republican party. Good luck with that. Oh--you may have missed this with all the other bullshit going on today, but it seems the Reconciliation bill passed the Senate and then the House. It's over--it may be flawed, it might not contain all that we wished, but anyway you cut it...WE FUCKING WON! Peace, emaycee
