REPUBLICANS DON'T MATTER.
Lesson learned, finally? Republicans don't matter.

They had a chance to participate, more of a chance than they deserved, IMO.

And they themselves have shown they've got nothing worthwhile to contribute. Just endless whining, posturing, and poisonous lies lies lies.

So... so long, shitheels. There's important work to be done, and we've no more time to waste with you.

Republicans don't matter.

Democrats Seem Set to Go Alone on a Health Bill

By CARL HULSE and JEFF ZELENY (New York Times)
Published: August 18, 2009

WASHINGTON — Given hardening Republican opposition to Congressional health care proposals, Democrats now say they see little chance of the minority’s cooperation in approving any overhaul, and are increasingly focused on drawing support for a final plan from within their own ranks.

Top Democrats said Tuesday that their go-it-alone view was being shaped by what they saw as Republicans’ purposely strident tone against health care legislation during this month’s Congressional recess, as well as remarks by leading Republicans that current proposals were flawed beyond repair.

3. Hey - the last 8 years the meme was that
Democrats don't matter, and if you vote for one, you're a terrorist. I'm tired of the bi-partisanship here, fuck 'em.

5. Sing, sing a song
Make it simple
to last the whole day long.

Think of good things, not bad.
Think of happy, not sad.

REPUBLICANS DON'T MATTER.

It needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

7. Yep, and when they complain about being marginalized...

... and they WILL complain -- complaining is What They Do... they can be reminded that they have no one but themselves to blame.

In the meantime, they can go to their rooms and think about what they've done to deserve a time-out.

When they're ready to behave like responsible human beings again, when they can go five minutes without throwing tantrums, telling lies and generally making everyone else miserable... THEN they can come down and rejoin society.

6. Exactly, screw bipartisanship any bill that the Republicans
will agree to will be guaranteed to fail and guess who will get the blame.

10. What's the trouble, lurking right-winger assholes? Truth hurts?
Well, you've got no one to blame but your own ridiculous selves.

The Republican Party has shown itself to be worthless at best, downright DANGEROUS to America at worst.

That's just a plain fact. And by now everyone knows it.

Republicans Don't Matter.

Get used to it. You've got no one but yourselves to blame.

11. I want more. Cut the pork programs from their districts and states - WE BLUES NEED IT!
Stop this BS crap about winning them over. They went to war and died defending SLAVERY for crying out loud, and to this fucking day brandish flags boasting of it! FUCK THEM.

Let the trickle down work for THEM. Stimulate the BLUES. I'm so TIRED of seeing the Reds get MORE MONEY than the blue states, when the blue states pay MORE TAXES!

13. And they've got no one to blame but themselves.
When the party of thumbsucking crybaby whiners complains that they're being sent to their room for a time-out... remind them that their own ridiculous behavior is the reason why.

Telling lies, throwing tantrums, tracking shit all over the house... spoiled brats get sent to their room. That's just the way it is.
