Whatever It Is, Republicans Are Against It!

[Joanne98]

When congressional Republicans oppose President Obama on almost everything, they argue that they're doing so for legitimate reasons -- not because they're just being anti-Barack or anti-Democrat.

So we decided to test this thesis by suggesting various pieces of legislation any sincere politician would favor to see if at least some congressional Republicans would cross party lines to vote with the Democratic majority.

-- Congressional Democrats urge Wall Street bankers to return their undeserved bonuses, but all Republicans vote no. (GOPers say they need to support their loyal southern base, and Wall Street is in southern Manhattan.)

-- Congressional Democrats commend the Ford Motor Company for not taking federal money, but all Republicans vote no. (GOPers say Henry Ford, when running for the U.S. Senate in 1918, didn't denounce Bill Clinton.)

-- Congressional Democrats belatedly congratulate Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for their great Super Bowl halftime show, but all Republicans vote no. (GOPers say George W. Bush and the K Street Band should've appeared instead.)

-- Congressional Democrats praise puppies and kittens, but all Republicans vote no. (GOPers say animals don't wear American flag pins on their lapels.)

-- Congressional Democrats call for support of mom and apple pie, but all Republicans vote no. (GOPers say mom and apple pie weren't listed in alphabetical order.)

1. Horse Feathers

Groucho was a life long Democrat, who sang as he rang the bell on Wall Street.
He explaned, "I took a bath here in 29 and I always sing in the tub." I'm sure he would apply it to the Republicans


I don't know what they have to say,
It makes no difference anyway,
Whatever it is, I'm against it.
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I'm against it.


Your proposition may be good,
But let's have one thing understood,
Whatever it is, I'm against it.
And even when you've changed it or condensed it,
I'm against it.

I'm opposed to it,
On general principle, I'm opposed to it.

He's opposed to it.
In fact, indeed, that he's opposed to it!


For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night to morn,
Whatever it is, I'm against it.
And I've kept yelling since I first commenced it,
I'm against it!
