A song for the GOP

[beachmom]

This song sounds like it was written for the GOP. I am bolding my favorite lines.

Listen to it here:

"Effect and Cause" by the White Stripes

I guess you have to have a problem if you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a train wreck, then they put me in traction
first came an action and then a reaction
But you can't switch em' round for your own satisfaction
Well, you burnt my house down then got mad at my reaction

Well, in every complicated situation of a human relation
Makin' sense of it all takes a whole lot of concentration
Well you can't blame a baby for her pregnant ma
And if there's one of these unavoidable laws
It's that you just can't take the effect and make it the cause

Well, you can't take the effect and make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank because you made up the law
Blame me for robbing Peter, but don't you blame Paul
Can't take the effect and make it the cause

I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call
You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall
Well I ain't saying I'm innocent, in fact, the reverse
But if your headed to the grave you don't blame the hearse
You're like a little girl yelling at her brother 'cause you lost his ball

You keep blaming me for what you did, but that ain't all
The way you clean up a wreck is enough to give one pause
Well, you seem to forget just how this all started
I'm reacting to you because you left me broken hearted
See, you can't just take the effect and make it the cause

Well, you can't take the effect and make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank because you made up the law
Blame me for robbing Peter, but don't you blame Paul
Can't take the effect and make it the cause

Now, SING IT, Newt Gingrich:

Newt Gingrich: Democrats bear some reponsibility for threats, anger over health care

“People should not engage in personal threats. I’m happy to condemn any effort to engage in personal threats. But I think the Democratic leadership has to take some real responsibility for having run a machine that used corrupt tactics, that bought votes, that bullied people, and as a result has enraged much of the American people.”

Ah, so it was a parliamentary procedure that caused the violence, not the threats of Armagedden, "end of freedom", Nazism, etc. etc. trumpeted by the Right that fueled it?

1. The words to the song fit the Republicans perfectly.

And, as you posted, how about them trying to blame Democrats for the anger, threats and violence which has escalated recently.

2. Perfect!

Finally, Uncle Teddy, Finally.
