Why The Democrats Suck And Should Be Fired

For the answer, I give you John Cole:

In the past year and a half, they’ve stabilized the banks, the economy, and the major car companies, they passed health care reform that adds thirty million people and cuts the deficit long term while getting rid of the worst abuses of the insurance companies, extended the solvency of Medicare for a decade, we’re drawing down troops in Iraq, we are making progress with green energy, there has not been one successful terrorist attack on American soil, we’ve just signed a nuclear arms reduction treaty and re-examined our use of military weapons and we are making great progress on the global stage. Hell, the DOW is up over 3,000 since we got rid of the bums. Personally, we’re getting a road paved near me that was a disaster, and it is being paid for with stimulus money. We’re gonna put some people to work and have a nice paved road! And Obama and company did it all without getting blowjobs from interns.

Impeach! Impeach! Vote the bastards out! See also my post from yesterday.

By the way, snark aside, if the Republicans retake Congress in the Fall, they're threatening to defund all of the Democratic success from this year. In other words, the Republicans want to reverse everything listed above, thus kicking the legs out from under the recovery. Seriously.

"Stage one of the end of Obamaism will be a new Republican Congress in January that simply refuses to fund it," said Gingrich -- that last word was drowned out in a standing ovation.

Gingrich ribbed the media for suggesting that this wasn't possible. "I think they forget that once upon a time I used to be Speaker of the House," he said. "Under our Constitution, Congress doesn't have to pass the funding."

And while they're forcing the government to essentially shut down (again!) in a stand-off against the White House, they'll be investigating the president for impeachable offenses (again!). They're promising a repeat of the middle to late 1990s.

Time to get our shit together before it's too late.
