Remember this old fable?

The Scorpion and the Frog

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "It's my nature..."

To those of you who think it's a good thing for Obama to let the conservative GOPers hitch a ride on the back of his campaign, don't be surprised when they turn around and stab you right in the back.

Great question in your OP, OzarkDem. Thanks for this thread.
