When the one standing gets tired, they just flip positions.

Don’t you wish that once – just once — someone would actually stand up and say something that everybody knows to be true: that Harry Reid, who apparently has been talked into retirement by a couple of thugs — excuse me! an exercise machine! — is a no-account, corrupt, nasty, petty, lying scumbag who enabled Barry Hussein to impose his anti-constitutional agenda on a big-hearted but soft-headed American public? But no:
The Senate majority leader had kind words for his Democratic counterpart, who announced Friday he would be retiring in 2016. ”Nothing has ever come easily to this son of Searchlight. Underestimated often, his distinctive grit and determined focus nevertheless saw him through many challenges,” McConnell said in a statement. “They continue to make him a formidable opponent today.”
The Kentucky Republican took over the Senate leadership from Reid, a Nevada Democrat, when Republicans won the majority in 2014 midterm elections. Though they have often butted heads politically, they are known to respect one another and be friends outside of Capitol Hill.
Friends? Why wouldn’t they be? As George Washington Plunkitt famously said in Chapter Nine of Plunkitt of Tammany Hall:
Me and the Republicans are enemies just one day in the year—election day. Then we fight tooth and nail The rest of the time it’s live and let live with us.
You see, we differ on tariffs and currencies and all them things, but we agree on the main proposition that when a man works in politics, he should get something out of it. The politicians have got to stand together this way or there wouldn’t be any political parties in a short time.
And you thought the Democrats and the Republicans were on opposite sides. Suckers!

Paul Gottfried, in After Liberalism, defines this worldview as a "series of social programs informed by a vague egalitarian spirit, and it maintains its power by pointing its finger accusingly at antiliberals." He calls it a new theocratic religion. In this view, when the managerial regime cannot get democratic support for its policies, it resorts to sanctimony and social engineering, via programs, court decisions and regulations...
Oh, my goodness.
Do they ever put up good legislation when it has any actual chance of becoming law?
Nope.
Yeah, but that picture is very astute to place the ‘Rat part of the donkey on the top, brain and all, and the GOPe part as the ass.
Mitch McConnell Praises Harry ReidBattered wife syndrome.
“Currently the R jerseys represent the employers of illegal aliens.
The D jerseys represent the illegal aliens.
No one represents the citizens.”
Here we are.
BUMP
They try. They passed repealing Obamacare 50 times at least.
Whoopty ****in’ do.
You may enjoy kabuki theater, but I don’t.
(hint: They aren’t trying, they are lying to you, and you are falling for it.)
The turd-le is worthless.
Thank you Pinky McConnell for showing us the LOVE within the “One Party” system called Wash D.C.
It’s all smoke and mirrors. Yes the GOP puts up good looking legislation, but with no intention of passing it. So you get the same results we’ve had before. This government looks at all legislation backwards. Their order of priority is politics, party, victim, villain and lastly good of the country.
Interesting....
In the Arab middle east sides battle over who gets to oppress the people under oddly similar terms.
...in the U.S. it is the “R” and “D”’s doing the same thing.
