What a girl wants
Jan. 5th, 2007 06:27 amDear Republican Party Members of Congress,
It has recently come to the attention of the majority of American voters that for the last 12 years you have been abusing power and balkanizing the Democrats in the House and Senate with absurd rules and outrageous shams of leadership and madness in the development and passage of legislation. You excused your own behavior with a pair of rhetorical stunts centered on two locii: 1) Democrats did it to you under Tip O'Neill; and 2) you and Good Christians Everywhere(tm) are actually a persecuted minority who has suffered long and hard times under the yoke of secular humanist oppression.
It has now been established that you are 2/3 correct: Tip O'Neill was a right sharp ol' machine politician who mistreated you; and you are a minority. The comparisons between your political party and the struggles of Asian, African, lower-class European, Arabic, Semitic, Latin American, non-heteronormative, female, and Native persons pretty much end there. You are a minority party, a political group whose platform is recognized as meaningful to a smaller number of voters than the parties which do not share your views; and who do not want you to create policies that promote those views. Since this is America, your voices will be heard, no doubt continuously, comparing yourselves to the same people from whom you and your ilk have spent a good 500 years working very hard to distinguish yourselves. In response to this hypocrisy we, the voters, have a certain degree of impatience and have thus tacitly agreed to permit the Democrats a certain amount of latitude in their treatment of your requests for participation in the process taking place now in Washington.
To wit, suck it, motherfuckers.
Sincerely,
The New American Majority
together with
People For Letting The Dems Have At Least Their Hundred Hours
and
Society of People Who Recognize Reality When They See It
This has been a Sick Of Your Southern Strategy Bullshit production.
EDIT: Since she's the most powerful woman in the U.S., and the U.S. is the most powerful single nation state that has yet been, does this make Nancy Pelosi the most powerful woman in world history? Arguments for or against this theory are plausible.
