The Lex family of 3 met a neighbor family of 5 for dinner last night. When we showed up, the neighbors were already there at the table. After greeting everyone, I sat down next to the neighbor and picked up a menu. “Don’t bother,” said the neighbor, “we already ordered everything.”
The waiter came and delivered expensive drinks all around to my neighbor’s family. We got water, but the waiter asked if we’d like a lemon slice. Then the waiter brought expensive desserts to the neighbor’s kids – before dinner. “They’ve been good the last couple of days and we don’t want them to act up tonight.” Then the waiter brought two of every appetizer on the menu and set them down in front of the neighbors.
Before much the appetizers had been eaten they were whisked away and three different bowls of soup were placed in front of each of the neighbors. “We just couldn’t decide so we thought we’d taste a bit of each,” he explained. Soon the nearly untouched soup bowls were being whisked away and salad plates of every kind and at least 15 different kinds of bread were being laid in front of the neighbors. The waiter asked if we needed anymore water.
Before anyone could enjoy much of the salad and/or bread, it was taken away and 5 of every menu entrĂ©e began arriving. Only a few bites of each were eaten before the item was taken from the table to make room for the next item. As this was going on but well before it was finished, the neighbor’s family got up and excused themselves. “The kids have a lot of homework tonight,” he said throwing a $20 on the table. “That ought to cover our share” he said.
“What!” I said. “I didn’t even order any of this crap, you wasted most of the food and $20 isn’t even close to your share.” “Hey, I just thought we’d settle up the bill in bipartisan manner. Besides we can out vote you,” the neighbor said.
So the Democrats write a 1.1 trillion dollar reparations…umm…stimulus bill with money to ACORN, abortion mills, neighborhood organizing and every other Democrat interest group without so much as a single input from Republicans and the president thinks Republicans ought to get on board to demonstrate the bipartisan nature of the bill. Paying the bill it seems is as much bipartisan support as the Dems want.
Well, here’s all we need to know:
Conservatives didn’t have anything to do with crafting this piece of excrement.
Democrats crafted every pork laden special interest pandering wasteful line.
Conservatives do not think it will stimulate the economy.
Democrats believe printing more worthless money and piling government debt on top of government debt will solve everything.
Conservatives should vote no.
Democrats do not need a single Republican vote in the house and not more than two or three Republican votes to pass it out of the senate. Democrats want Republican votes so that in 2010, when we’re really in an excrement sandwich, they can say well the reparations…uh…stimulus package passed with bipartisan support so you can’t blame Democrats for this crap hoagie.
Call your congressman to stop this idiocy. Michelle Malkin has the numbers here.

fellow blogger... clever writing, but with a tinge of "memento" (can't remember what happened yesterday)... I am a lifelong republican and am currently an elected republican precinct committeemean with the Indiana state party... let's not forget that we republicans hold a great deal (if not all) of the blame for running this country into the ditch... we controlled congress for 14 of the last 16 years. We have always held the supreme court. And we held the executive branch for the last 8 years.
As Mr. Cheney often reminded us, "elections have consequences" and this past election transpired because of our poor custodianship. In my humble opinion, it's TRAITOROUS to hope this president "fails" as some of our colleagues have verbalized.
NOW is the time to support our president ... and that's exactly what THIS republican intends to do.
wishing you the best from Indiana, USA,

Yeah Mike, that's why I don't call myself a Republican anymore. Quit that after the immigration debacle. As far as supporting the Dear Leader, I take the same tact as Libs with our military. I support the president but not a single one of his big government, leave America vulnerable to Isalmo-terror-fascists, spread the wealth around socialist nonsense.
Oh yeah, if is "TRAITOROUS" to hope the president fails, shouldn't the entire Democrat Party have been put in jail over the last 8 years? Cheers!
