Republicans spit in the face of all Americans.
If we think about what the Republicans have done...

They took the people's will and twisted it into some pretzel logic.

After all, the people had elected Barack Obama with a very large majority. The people voted.

Not only did they vote for Barack Obama, they also voted a 60-seat coalition majority in the Senate and a huge majority in the House of Representatives.

But the Republicans chose to ignore that reality. In fact, they did more than choose to ignore it - they chose to block every single piece of legislation that came from the House of the people.

Think about it.

They blocked the will of the people at large.

The people be damned.

It doesn't matter how many people vote to change the direction of this country if we have these two-faced, lying, hypocritical assholes pushing the propaganda in Washington...

2. +1 "They took the people's will and twisted it into some pretzel logic."

Calling Palin stupid is redundant because it's the same thing as calling a politician stupid, which is an oxymoron. Stupidity arguably ranks as the most powerful tool of the politician. Politicians act too stupid to understand what the people actually want.

4. Off Topic...
Is the term "Pretzel Logic" a common term? The only other time I have heard the term is the Steely Dan album called "Pretzel Logic."

6. Rules aplied back on that is going to be rough.
Then again I made some of those mistakes in the past also, so :shrug:


Basically they 'shrug' at concepts of fairness.


"hows that working out for 'you'" says it all. Think about it, what is it about, how it works out for 'you' not how it should be, or how it works out for many people also.


Not anything new.
