Do not negotiate with liars and thieves

Some Republi-Rats, like Newt Gingrich, think it’s time to sit down and negotiate with the Demo-Thugs who just tried to ruin the country. Gingrich said,

“If you are a House member in the [GOP] caucus, I suspect we are about to have a huge argument. We could get clever and work with her (Peloser)…And I think people should work with her… But at that point it becomes a huge problem because nobody trusts her, they distrust her ideology and distrust her because she has run over them so hard…”

So the Dear Dope, Scrawny Harry and Peloser break down your door, stick a gun in your face and demand your cash, jewelry and flat screen TVs. You immediately see that there are no bullets in the exposed cylinder chambers of Scrawny’s revolver, Peloser’s .45 automatic has no magazine and the safety is engaged and the Dope is more interested in munching his arugula salad, as he uses both hands to eat, while the muzzle end of his “assault rifle” leans against his crotch.

You easily disarm Scrawny and Peloser in a series of smooth Jack Bauer moves. First, you kick Harry in the groin. When that move shows no effect because there is nothing there, you bitch slap him causing him to drop the revolver and weep. As Peloser tries to pull the trigger again and again, with no effect, you snatch the weapon from her, insert a magazine, pull the slide to the rear charging the weapon. The Dope, concerned about the rising cost of arugula at the Whole Food Market, still hasn’t noticed anything is happening.

Just as you have disarmed the bandits and are set to call the police – who you know will act stupidly – your wife - let’s call her Newt - walks in. “Oh honey, lets just give them a few dollars, the tv in the basement, your mother’s old jewelry and send them on their way,” she begs.

At this point you should probably begin to think that your wife, Newt, is part of the gang. If you’re smart, you’ll tell her to get over with the other criminals and cover her with the .45 most closely.

If the Republicans want to make “nice” with the Demo-Dopes on healthcare here’s how to do it:

Republicans in both houses of congress should present a healthcare plan to Demo-Dopes and the Dope himself. In it should be:

Tort reform
Deregulation of the insurance industry to allow purchase of insurance across state lines
Tax breaks for Dr.s who perform pro bono work for the poor
Allowances for medical savings accounts for all Americans

It should be no more than 50-100 pages. It should be published on the Internet. It should be a take it or leave it proposition. It should be debated on C-Span but only in in-so-far as the amount of money allowed in tort cases, tax cuts for Dr.s and for medical savings accounts.

Then we’d see how serious Newt and the rest of the girls are about healthcare reform.
