129. Marquis of Queensbury rules only apply to Democrats

Sat Aug 11, 2012, 04:23 PM

Aug 2012

It has been the unspoken rule for decades.

Republicans can punch below the belt (Willy Horton and Swift Boat ads)
punch the kidneys (Obama is a Muslim, a foreigner)
punch behind the head (criticizing Obama's foreign policy overseas)
punch in the clinch
punch after the bell (Obama takes soooo many vacations)
punch when you're down on the mat
kick, thumb eyes, bite off ears, throw elbows
whatever it takes to win --
lie (every word from Romney's mouth so far is a lie),
cheat (PAC money made possible by Citizens United), and
steal (voter suppression laws, rigged voting machines, etc.)
and they never get disqualified for it.

-- BUT, when a Democrat starts landing body-shots that hurt because
they hit the mark and score points with the judges,
OOHHHH MY MY, how the bully cries FOUL and NO-FAIRZIES.

Repubs have always fought by street-fight rules. Totally shameless.
Dems never come close to the lowly depths of their dirty tactics.

SUCK IT, "You made your bed, now lie in it !"
