Am I a Republican?

Watching helplessly as my country dissolves into the SSA (Socialist States of America) I came to ask myself where the others such as me are, where are the Republicans? It seemed to me our best hope of avoiding the trillion dollar entitlement program framed as Health Care Reform lie with the Blue Dog Democrats! Surely I have this reversed. Surely our best arguments, our best leadership, our best chance at defeating yet another socialist agenda item must be rooted in my own Republican party. But as I watched and listen to volley after repeated volley in the battle for the hearts and minds of the American people I seemed to realize how I came to believe our salvation may have a source other than which my conservative view of the world would assume.

I heard Palin talk about Death……….. I heard the Blue Dogs say it cost too much for too little. Given intelligence ratings I’d give the Blue Dogs 10 and Republicans negative 10. I understand that Sarah Palin’s statements were mild compared to the constant drone from Hitler’s Himmler, Nancy Pelosi, however Himmler suffers from reality issues which have placed her in a position of permanent grace. Much as you would bestow grace to a retarded child should they babble nonsense or incoherently in the store.

As the Senate committee of six continue to work out a solution which can pass in the Senate with Blue Dog and Republican support it becomes clear that Hitler and Himmler do not necessarily have absolute control over then majority of Americans who do not wish to see a socialist solution. This lack of absolute control is due to the Blue Dogs. Make no mistake about it. With so much dependent on our strange Blue Dogs bedfellows one would believe that Republicans would not wish to antagonize an ally just as the White House begins making noises about “going it alone”. However that is exactly what our Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele did with childish flare by responding with “Get it to the floor. Up or down, baby”. The leading Democrat on the committee of six is pushing Obama back on his artificial timelines by saying the bill will be finished when it’s finished and too important to do otherwise and our side says “Up or down, baby”!!!! Given an intelligence rating you add up the numbers, Up or Down Baby?

Make no mistake “go it alone” is about the only option Obama has left once Pelosi pulled his leash up short Monday after he floated the idea of riding the Senates coat tails with their likely co-opt option rather than the entitlement public option. Both he and Himmler will be applying every bit of pressure they can on the Blue Dogs to toe the party line in their efforts to go it alone. I’m not sure that “Up or Down, Baby” is the best way to entice them to stay and work on what could even turn out to be an intelligent alternative.

So am I a Republican? I think so, I always have been. In light of the party’s lack of proficiency in obtaining a decent intelligent rating………maybe I don’t want to tell anyone about it. One thing is for sure, the Blue Dogs have hit my radar, if they are not trying to take guns away from citizens and giving away tax refunds of $2500 when you only paid $900 in total taxes, if they’re………well I didn’t know about them and they have become important to all of us so perhaps I should find out what they are for and against. AT least I know they do not seem to be slaves to the Third Reich.
