Seasons Greetings From The GOP

The GOP (Goobers On Parade) is the epitome of the Will Rogers aphorism, "Government is the problem, elect us and we will prove it to you." Well, they got elected and they are only just beginning to prove it to us.

In less than 24 hours after President Obama met with Republican congressional leaders and expressed hope for a "new dialog," Senate Republicans threatened to block any legislation until these petulant little children get their way on the tax cuts for the wealthy. In the spirit of the season, this threat comes just as the unemployment benefits are beginning to run out for some 2,000,000 Americans. Ho, Ho, Ho, and Merry Christmas from the GOP.

What should infuriate all Americans, especially those who voted Republican, is that these people were elected to legislate, not block legislation. Our tax dollars pay their salaries, and they are not getting paid to sit around with their thumbs up their butts.

Dammit, get to work and do your job!
