Abandon Hope (and Change)

It is likely that we are doomed to spending the rest of our lives listening to the idiots that we’ve elected prattle on about how the opposition party is bad and wrong, bereft of ideas, comprised of dunces, is un-American, and out of touch.

Some asshat politician from Indiana said ObamaCare is a worse act of terrorism than the 9-11 attacks.

Russ Limbo said if ObamaCare is upheld, he’ll move to Costa Rica.  (Enjoy the trip, Rush, and by the way, Costa Rica has completely socialized medicine.)

Scooter Walker says he won’t implement ObamaCare, because just though something is lawful doesn’t make it right.  (Oh, BTW, Scoot – thanks for screwing the state’s taxpayers by refusing the federal money to set up Insurance Exchanges; when the Feds come in and do that for us, we’ll have to pay for it all ourselves.)

Tea Party Tommy Thompson decries the Supreme’s ruling, and blathers on about his “Common-sense Market-Based Solution” to health care woes, and how he’ll singlehandedly repeal Obamacare.

Mitt Romney says on the first day he takes office, he’ll repeal ObamaCare.  (Wait – I thought Tea Party Tommy was going to do that……)

Several Dane County Democrats, who are apparently constantly in war mode, gleefully post taunting status updates on their social media feeds.

Those selfsame local pols posting the taunting rants are the same ones who said the opposite thing about the Supremes for striking down Montana’s attempt at clean government.

There is no hope.  None of these dweebs gets it.  We’re TIRED of the constant push-pull, the constant recriminations, the inability to work together toward solutions to problems we all face.

H. L. Mencken said it best: “Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.”

That’s about where I’m at these days.
