Hey, Dems....heard of the frog/scorpion parable?!?!?!
Advertisements [?]
I think many of us are temporarily disillusioned with the Dems. I have to admit I am, but the thing that really gets my goat is how many times Bush has been given a pass on so many things.

This guy has ran so many businesses into the ground we've lost count.


Then when he was selected into office he made a deal with Ted Kennedy to fund "Leave No Child Behind." As soon as the legislation was passed, the Boy King then backed out. He's done this over and over again, so we need to be reminded of the frog/scorpion parable.

So, Dems with a short memory this is for you:

The King Boy scorpion was by the side of the river and needed a ride across. A blue frog hopped by. The King Boy scorpion asked the blue frog for a ride across the river. The blue frog said "no, you'll sting me and we'll die." The King Boy scorpion said he would not; even promised. The blue frog relented and said, "ok, since you promised." Half way across the river the King Boy scorpion stung the blue frog. The blue frog said, "why did you do that? Now we'll both drown." The King Boy scorpion declared, "Because it's in my nature."

Copy this to Ted Kennedy and the rest of the Democratic Party which thought the King Boy scorpion would not sting them after they sent him some capitulating legislation to sign.
