Who knew Michael Jackon’s 1982 hit, “Beat It” was so prescient about American politics in 2013?
My fellow Gormogons – ‘Puter and The Czar – have done an outstanding job putting a beat down on some of the key players in this debacle. And I agree with all of their analyses.
Having said that, let me spread the beatdown around a bit.
First, while plenty of folks on the left will point and the stubbornness on the right side of the aisle, particularly those in the Tea Party caucus, what did the left side of the aisle do to help? All the evidence points at President Obama, his administration and the Senate democrats doing many things to try to make the situation worse than it needed to be…..at the cost to the American public! We’ve covered the ridiculous closures and sending folks home when it was not necessary.
Second, GorT will beat this drum repeatedly and he prays that the right – both Tea Party members and traditional GOPers – will pick it up: we would not have been in this situation had Congress and specifically the Senate and more specifically Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) would have done their Constitutionally mandated job and enacted a federal budget. And why haven’t they done their job? Because it would expose the spending problem that exists within our federal government including both mandatory and discretionary spending programs. Democrats are like cockroaches…sorry, Palmetto bugs, when it comes to shining light on the federal budget. Try challenging your liberal / democrat friends to address that. Ask them why the democrats in the Senate have refused to move forward with their required job to enact a federal budget. You’ll get a lot of hemming and hawing. Probably an attempt to change the subject back to how evil the Republicans are for “holding the country hostage” over the last 2 weeks. Facts are facts. The GOP and the Tea Party need to clamor loudly from every mountain top for a federal budget. When it looks like the Senate won’t move on it – consider calling for a special counsel and investigating why elected officials are actively refusing to execute the Constitution with the potential outcome being impeachment. Bottom Line: You don’t do your job, you get fired! Period.
Yes, the tea Party and Republicans hosed up this mess. But let’s not forget how we got here and the fact that nothing has changed regarding this….yet.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
