A CORNERED PARTY

(Intellectual? That's really stretching it!)



This is not going to be a blog full of details and statistics. First because I have a headache, and second because there is no need to substantiate it with numbers and quotes. It is a blog to express my feelings towards today's Republican party. With the loss of the presidential elections as the last straw to their already weakened morale, the republican party has lost every attempt to a resurgence, it has failed miserably. They have no strong voice to represent them, no leaders to take the helm, no ideas, no logical opinions on any issue. It's the party of NO in every aspect.

Their only and already worn out position on any issue is the one about criticizing Obama and creating controversy on anything that our President does and/or talks about. it is the position of the loser, of the one who has nothing original to say or do, the NO position.
To add to their lame brain negative attitude there is this idiot governor of Texas, Rick Perry, who is backing a resolution by representative Brandon Creighton of the same southern radical state, by which they claim that the State of Texas has sovereignty under the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. According to them they would rather have another Secession War than giving President Obama the fair and appropriate time to see him succeed in tackling on the mess that the "dynamic duo" (Bush/Cheney) left him in eight disastrous years of incompetence and capitalistic dictatorship.

What else are we to expect? Sarah Palin on a self-campaign tour to promote her "bridge to no where" candidacy for 2012? Rush Limbaugh to continue his clowning through the radio? Indicted former Majority Leader Tom Delay, pretending he did not understand Chris Matthews question about the stupid comments by Rick Perry and getting off his tangents to show us once more how much in denial he and all his republican southerners colleagues are? Or perhaps, that black guy, elected to be the Republican National Committee boss, Michael Steele, who was chosen by his fellow republicans as a way to say "we too can have a black leader". So infantile because Obama is the leader of them too, as their denial takes them to extremes of comatose state of the brain. Mind you, when I say "black" it is not with any intention to bring out the race issue, as I believe Obama is the only one who can straighten out this mess and I voted for him. I only mention "black" to make a point about the ridiculous reasoning of the Republican party, or whatever is left of it.
(Perry and Jindal true to their thinking))
It has been hardly three months since Obama took over this chaos and so far all the Republican party has contributed with is the word NO and the action NO. They are in deep trouble as the country shows support for Obama, while they keep shrinking in image, members, ideas, and brain size. They are not to be disregarded though, especially because, like an injured wild animal, they will charge till their last breath of air leaves their lungs. The Republican party has been pushed to a corner in the ring and not even Muhammad Ali's old "rope-a-dope" can save them. They are finished. This is why only the extreme radical southern States keep bluffing with threats of secession and independence from the Federal Government. The Republican party has been reduced to that, to a Regional Party made of Texas, Louisiana, and the likes. Their strongest voices being Texas Governor Rick Perry, a mediocre politician with no future in his party; and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who rejected help from the Federals when his State is in shambles and still suffering the continuous economical,physical, and emotional aftermath of hurricane Katrina.
Unfortunately for this pitiful Republican party, the damage they are suffering was caused by them. They can no defend from it, as they are both the attacker and the enemy. They keep throwing rocks at their own roof, and those of them who are inside the damaged house contemplating their own destruction eventually run out for cover, although they don't know where to go. They are dispersing in all directions like a cattle without direction.

I do have a soft spot in my heart for them, because after all they are Americans like the Democrats and would like to see them regroup and to integrate in what should be a common cause to bring back this country to the 21st century, where we were before Bush. Therefore, dear Republicans, please reconsider for your own good and survival...become Democrats! Your party, as we used to know it , is finished. Caput. Muerto. Zonked out.

Note: "ZONKED OUT" is my own invention, based on a contraction of "Zombies" and ("N") "Knocked Out".
