What’s That Crunching Sound

So, the junior Republican representatives are roadblocking Boner’s tax bill because it isn’t ‘extreme’ enough. They were elected to make a stand on PRINCIPLES, dammit, not to govern!
And now the Democrats have largely lined up behind their leader, Jon Stewart. Where was this discipline, say, during the health care reform debate? If they’d acted like mature adults then instead of self-interested back-stabbing busybodies, maybe there wouldn’t BE such a large Republican majority in the House.
In fact, if they hadn’t used the same strong-arm tactics the Republicans are now pushing when Bush tried to raise the debt ceiling, and had instead proposed to eliminate the goddamn thing for once and for all, maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess.
But, of course, I reserve the hottest bile for those who think we’re headed for Hell in a handbasket. They don’t seem to realize that this is all normal, and is just the way democracy works. So, some first time (and probably last time) Representatives don’t realize politics is not the WWE. Sure, the show is, the hype is, but the real governing gets done through negotiation and compromise.
And, for any would-be revolutionaries, I provide this link. (I was going to link to the song on Youtube, but it’s like 9 minutes! That’s TWELVE RAMONES SONGS long!)
