The limburgers will be sorry.

American politics. It's a nasty game. Many conservative Republicans, for instance, want Barack Obama to fail. Miserably. Because that'll be good for the Republicans a year or two or three down the line. Of course, it won't be good for America. But that doesn't matter. Political parties often wear blinders. And do what's good for the party. Not what's good for America. If the aim was to do the best thing for America, Republicans would work cooperatively with Democrats. And Democrats would be friendly to Republicans. For the sake of America. For a unified, bipartisan approach to solving the nation's many, many social and economic and political problems. But that ain't gonna happen. Republicans will root for the Democrats to fail. The defacto head of the Republican party, pundit Rush Limberger (as in smelly cheese) said he wants Obama to fail. To show that progressive policies are no good. As if the archaic neo-conservative policies of the past two decades didn't get us into our present economic crisis. It's always the other guy's fault. Look at George Bush. When's the last time he admitted to a mistake? Bush and the foul-breathed limburger cheese big-mouth claim to know it all. As if they are the true patriots. The wise men. Well, we'll see. I'm betting that Obama and the Democrats know what's best for America. And two years from now, the sorry Republicans (limburgers) will be sorrier than ever. --Jim Broede
