I have the perfect all-purpose response to anything a Republican cares to say.

[Atticus]

It came to me while watching Lil' Lindsey Graham on one of the morning talk shows.

You see, Lil' Lindsey was grittin' his capped teeth and stompin' his little feet and lookin' real serious-like right into the camera, while shakin' his finger at me and warning how "If the Democrats ram healthcare down our throats by using a trick like reconciliation, that will just POISON THE WELL for any other initiatives they might want to take up".

And, then, it just came to me: what all Democrats should be saying to all Republicans these days---KISS MY ASS!!!

Just kinda "sings", doesn't it?

1. The republicans can go to hell

You are exactly right.

I don't get it, the American public kicked the republicans out on their asses big time and then the republicans pretend to be speaking for America. UH, DIDN'T YOU GET THE MEMO GOP - THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HATE YOU, ASSHOLES

2. Like the well isn't already poisoned.

What a fucking idiot.

3. Hey, if your are talking to FOX-Watchin Republicans, you gotta use visual aids too

Here's something to help them grasp the message:

[Last_Stand]

4. "We were given a mandate"...

"Who cares what you think?"
"Go fuck yourself"

I'm sure there are more that can be taken right out of the mouths of rethuglicans.

5. I like it

Oh, and Lindsey? That "trick" you call reconcilitation, I call "majority rules." By the way, how did you vote on the Terri Schiavo legislation, as long as we're talking about well-poisoning.

6. Be careful. You don't want to {{embolden}} them.

7. In the words of Dick Cheney, just say "So??"

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Wait a minute

Aren't they ALREADY "poisoning the well" on every initiative that President Obama and the Democrats have been pushing for the past year???? :shrug:

So, if I am to understand Graham correctly, if we DON'T use reconciliation, they will start being nice to us and/or let us have an "up or down vote" on HCR???? In the immortal words of my comic hero, Denis Leary, I don't f****g think so!!!!

9. rethugs are to poisoned wells

as Hooker Chemical is to Love Canal.

10. I would say to all republicans: "All your policies are about is that rich people

don't want to pay taxes or face regulations. That is it, that is all".
