I couldn't wait to come to 2010 on Tuesday to see how the mid-term elections turned out. And they were wonderful! Elephants replaced jackasses all over the map, it was beautiful to behold. However, the mood of the GOP victory party is a bit subdued and I can certainly see why.
Now that we've got some power again, what are we going to do with it?
Repealing affordable healthcare is always a good start, as is "financial reform" which is Democrapspeak for "punishing the rich." Removing the threat of tax hikes for the rich is also a good plan, but in the short-term, none of these things is going to improve the economy or put people back to work. So I hit the streets of New York and asked some fellow Republicans what the plan was, and, well, it sounded like we don't really have any...
This is NOT good, folks. We have two years to fix the economy, the housing mess and lower the unemployment rate before pissed-off Americans go to the polls again, and if they only gave Commiebama two years to fix things before tossing out the incumbents, how long do you think we'll have?
Since the GOP is wisening up to the realization that Sarah Palin is a game-loser for us, it's time to start grooming a real Republican candidate for 2012. I mean, finding someone who can beat Commiebama can't be that hard, but what about those congressional elections? We can't forget those either. What if the power reverses, and we get a Republican president with a Democratic Congress?
What makes matters worse is, and I hate to admit this, but the Tea Party is quickly becoming a liability for us. They've got a lot of good ideas, and they fear the same things I do, but their commitment to into-the-stratosphere conspiracy theories just makes me cringe. I mean, for all Commiebama's faults, I don't worry that he's a secret Muslim or that he was born in Kenya. We laugh at the loony left when they claim George Bush was behind 9/11, but then we keep a straight face when our side claims Obama is trying to take over the world for the New World Order? Cripes, Pat Robertson is forever yammering on about the New World Order back in 1987 and he sounds like a complete lunatic then, too.
Turning the great USA into a socialist nation is no way to go about solving our problems, but the only organization with even fewer good ideas for fixing our problems than the Republicans & Democraps at the moment is the Tea Party. Guys, if we're going to destroy our chances in 2012 by catering to numbnuts then I choose Sarah Palin. She'll get more votes because she's prettier.
