The Republicans Are The Party Of "Give Me That, It's Mine".

[Initech]

Yes the sentiments of today's modern republican party can be boiled down to five simple words: "Give me that, it's mine.". They are the political equivalent of the kid at Target wandering through the toy aisle and screaming that his / her parents won't buy them the latest Lego set or video game console. They are the party of "I", "Me", "Mine", and they finally have a president who reflects the values of untold greed and unchecked egomaniacism. I finally figured it out after finding out that the GOP stole the super majority in California in that stupid and completely unnecessary recall election last night. Let's break it down.

"You have a serious super majority in your state? Give me that, it's mine!"

"You want to give health care to somebody else? Give me that, it's mine!"

"Your media doesn't want to hear our opinions? Give me that, it's mine!"

"You want to let other people in this country and it will cause *MY* tax dollars to go up? Give me that, it's mine!"

"You can't have my precious guns. They're mine! All mine! You want to take them from me? Give me that, it's mine!"

"You have a competent president who does his job well and is loved all over the world? Give me that, it's mine!"

"Same sex couples who are in love want to get married and have the same rights as straight couples? Give me that, it's mine!"

"You have a league of players running a respectful protest before games? Give me that, it's mine!"

So there, that is what we are dealing with in the midterms. An entire political party with the mindset of a toddler who wants the latest toy or video game. We need to treat them the same way we'd treat a kid throwing a temper tantrum in the toy aisles. Or they will replace it with something much much worse. As is the case of the guy who we currently call "president". He is everything soulless, wrong, and ugly with this country and he's the poster child for "give me that, it's mine". It's time to start fighting back against the "give me that it's mine" party.

3. I first observed this mindset when I was 25 working with a handful of well-to-do

not a care in the world middle aged men. Though their lives were going as perfectly as anybody's could go, seeing someone in distress ask for help got them all worked up about *working for what you have*


ha. they were: son of the owner, brother of the owner, and son-in-law of the owner. Shut the fucking fuck up you whiny good for nothings.

4. Reminds me of a joke ...

A CEO, a rethug, and a Union worker are all sitting at a table when a plate with a dozen freshly baked cookies arrives. Before anyone else can make a move, the CEO lunges out to rake in eleven of the cookies, leaving only one. When the other two look at him in speechless surprise, the CEO locks eyes with the rethug. “You'd better watch that guy,” the executive grumbles with a scornful nod toward the Union worker. “He wants a piece of your cookie.”
