The Delusionals
The American Spectator ^ | November 4, 2010 | R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.

Liberals are having a difficult time explaining what happened to them Election Day. Actually, it appears that many of them do not know what happened to them. They are in denial.

Frankly, I expect many Democrats on Capitol Hill are going to go on about their business as though nothing exceptional happened Tuesday. They were reelected as usual. So who are those guys standing in the hallways of the Congressional offices waiting for them to leave. Many Democrats are going to have to be eased out of their offices, and professional help may be called upon. I suggest anger management counselors. They could have a quiet talk with those members of Congress who, as the saying goes, do not get it. Possibly these experts have a gentle way of telling the defeated members that they are history. Maybe some will be led off to The Daily Show to join Jon Stewart in acting superior and laughing at his agelastic efforts at humor. Possibly there is a branch of psychiatry that deals specifically with delusions of victory. Its adepts coax the defeated members of Congress out of their offices and into the sunlight. Let us face facts; it is going to be very difficult talking to these defeated Democrats.

Consider one who is going to be leaving her office very soon. Tuesday night she said to a room filled with election workers, "We have taken the country in a new direction and we are not going back to the failed policies of the past." That was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She was fully dressed, but there was an air of the manic about her. How is incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner going to deal with her when he arrives at her office? He may need a tranquilizer gun.

Paul Ryan’s Roadmap is going to be the GOP’s project to rein in entitlements and bring the budget under control. As Budget Committee Chairman, he’ll be uniquely positioned to force the leadership and the Cardinals to use it as the next federal budget blueprint.

Democrats like Barney Frank, Reid, Boxer, and a few other re-elected Democrats will be able to go about their business as usual to some extent. My hope is that they were permitted to win so they can defend themselves in oversight hearings, and then be available to put on orange jump suits as they await trial for their criminal behavior for all to see.

These are evil people because they support the cold blooded murder of the innocent unborn.

I know one who is probably representative. He is giddy over the fact that the Dems held the Senate. Actually, their position is still pretty strong. They still hold the Executive and Judicial branches.

No quarter. No prisoners. These LIB/Asshats are anti-American and anti-Freedom. Just who cares how they “feel”? As a bow to being kind and considerate, just make sure their handcuffs aren’t too tight and that their orange jumpsuits give them some room to maneuver. If this were the 18th century, they’d already be under great discomfort from the tar and feathers.

I see the Liberals in Congress as spoiled children who were never disciplined and who never heard the word ‘no’.

Just like the kid throwing himself on the floor at the super market... kicking, screaming himself red because mom won’t buy him ____________ (fill in the blank).

This kid is NOT doing this for the first time! He did it before and it worked... the pattern of behavior was rewarded and can’t be corrected.

Ever try to discipline a spoiled child? THIS is what we have on our hands!!

Once the disrespectful and irresponsible behavior is in place, it is h^%$ to de program.

Pelosi will end up in a shrink’s office in the near future.

I am sure that if just the right combination of shock treatment and psychoactive drugs are applied—the shrink could have a paying customer for many years to come.

The bad news—guess who will be paying for the treatments.

No quarter. No prisoners.


This should send up a red flag to anyone who thinks about "reaching across the aisle" or "working with the democrats" or "compromising with the democrats". Like Rush says; We just want them defeated!"

These people live in a bubble and the only solution is to send them packing along with any other "RINO'S".

No quarter, and no prisoners is right!
