Deflated balls are a problem for both the NFL and the GOP

GOP's dynamic duo of deflation: John Boehner and Mitch McConnell

The sports media has been in a tizzy covering the scandal known as “deflate gate.” After it was discovered that 11 of the 12 footballs used by the New England Patriots in their playoff game against the Colts were deflated, the media speculation has been intense about whether the Patriots altered the footballs to gain an advantage.

It is amazing that with our immense problems, the media is fixated on such a trivial issue. Instead, a related topic is more important; why do Republican Party leaders suffer from deflated balls, politically speaking? The GOP won a landslide mid-term election, but they have been acting ever since like they lost to the Democrats.

Right after the election, Republican leaders in Congress passed the 1774-page “cromnibus” bill which cost $1.1 trillion and funded the President’s executive amnesty for 5 million illegal aliens and the unpopular ObamaCare legislation. This was in direct opposition to the wishes of voters who gave Republicans control of both houses of Congress. The anger was so intense that conservatives swamped congressional offices with demands that John Boehner be replaced as Speaker of the House. Again, due to a lack of courage, only 25 House Republicans voted against Boehner. It seems GOP congressmen do not have the appetite for real change either within their party or throughout the nation.

I am going to vote for Sarah, no deflation problem there. She did lose some weight though.

In the case of the GOP, one cannot deflate what onedoes not have?

Can’t get over the feeling that ANY male R will lose to the beast.

Skin color was already voted for, next the sheep will vote lady parts.

Sarah vs beast, close but the rats will steel it.

I think the people are getting wise to the election thefts of the rats. Sarah by a mile.
