Ma, Where's My Elephant Gun?

A friend once asked me why I was pro-Republican -
to which I replied, 'I'm not pro-Republican, I'm anti-stupid' and as recent days have shown us, stupidity is not the sole purview of Democrats - and apparently, neither is hypocrisy

I know that Republicans border on numerical insignificance in congress - but still, even with such limited numbers, how is it that only one member has a set of testicles?
I guess fiscal conservatism is only attractive when it is politically expedient

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Senator Jim Bunning.
The ONLY person in Washington with the testicular (or ovarian) fortitude to stand up for fiscal conservatism and common sense.

Jim Bunning has blocked a spending bill.

Not just any bill mind you, but a bill that would (gasp) DELAY the extension of unemployment benefits to the nation's unemployed and force the furlough of @ 2,000 federal employees. Forget for a moment that 99 weeks of unemployment benefits is more akin to welfare than unemployment benefits - and the number of federal employees, like Rosie O'Donnel's ass, needs to be substantially downsized for the sake of humanity - that this lovely piece of legislation is the first major piece of spending AFTER the much publicized PAY-GO legislation hyped by our glorious Celebrity in Chief and passed by a Congress that is about as effective as tits on a bull... and of course; Obama, his merry band of idiots and his unwitting sackless cohorts in the GOP want this particular bill to be an exception to the aforementioned PAY-GO / 'look ma, I'm trying to balance the budget' legislation! (my apologies for the mammoth run on sentence - but dammit, I'm pissed off and in no mood to follow proper grammar)

So, the GOP has forgone principal in order not to be painted as heartless scrooges.
Instead, they look like eunuchs.
Law either applies or it doesn't.
Otherwise, it is more of a suggestion, isn't it?
'Sir, I suggest that you not rob that bank!' Yeah, that's about as effective as our foreign policy decisions pertaining to Iran...

Obviously, I expect this sort of crap from the Democrats. At this point, they have become a cesspool of corruption, stupidity and thuggery - led by an incompetent, arrogant jackass on a scale so monstrous, that can only be compared to....Rosie O'Donnell's ass...but I digress.

But the Republicans?
You sackless pieces of fecal matter....and here I thought you learned something....

Glen Beck caught a significant amount of grief from certain conservative radio talk show hosts following his CPAC Key Note speech. Many thought he was unsupportive of a party that had obviously learned its lesson about turning its back on its conservative principles. I had heard rumblings from Limbaugh, Bennett and Levin, echoing this theme or at a minimum, taking potshots at Beck while praising the GOP for standing firm against the Obama agenda.
Apparently, only so long as it is politically expedient...
I wonder if Beck has received any apologies?

Leadership often demands tough choices.
Leadership necessitates principled decisions.
Leadership requires character.

President Obama is many things, but a leader is not one of them. At best, he is a disappointment - at worst...he is yet another Baldwin brother.

So where is the leadership of the 'loyal opposition'?
Those who happily beat the drum of disdain and champion the cause of deficit reduction?
(insert cricket sounds)
...............

Yeah, I thought so.

Prior to the '08 elections, I had told a friend of mine that I wouldn't piss on the Democrats if they were on fire. The Republicans on the other hand, I would take great joy in pissing on.

No, I'm not freaky like that...you sick bastards...

I just save my greatest disdain for those who disappoint me the most.
Being angry at the current batch of Congressional Democrats for doing stupid shit makes about as much sense as getting angry at my dog for chasing squirrels... what the hell do you expect?

I expect more form those who profess to know better.
I expect more from those who profess to stand for fiscal conservatism
and the GOP disappoints me, yet again.

At least we have Jim Bunning.
and by 'we', I'm not talking about Republicans
I'm talking about Americans.

Is it really too much to ask for?

Idiots.
All of them

(except for Jim Bunning that is)
