Someone take the GOP out behind the barn and just shoot it
Fox New Sunday's Chris Wallace is interviewing Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), Congressman Barney Frank (Communist D-Mass.), and Obama Economic advisor Austen Goolsby, and Frank is on the attack, going after big business, the free market and the GOP like a foaming-at-the-mouth, lisping pit bull.
I'll give Frank this: he -- like his party -- is always on the attack, going for the throat, trying to brutalize the enemy.
Corker, who appears to barely have a pulse, sleepily smiles at the camera and stammers out answers like the stuttering defense lawyer in My Cousin Vinny, with about as much effectiveness, too.
Frank says he favors "single-payer healthcare for everyone, like Medicare," which is socialized medicine, currently killing Britons and Canadians and sending our neighbors to the North to the U.S. for the treatment they're entitled to at home -- but can't get in a timely fashion.
Corker's response?
"Well, ah, um, I've said, um, that, uh --"
I shout, "This is the best the GOP can do?", before clutching my chest and toppling off the couch, dead.
Perhaps a slight exaggeration.
Unbelievable.
I know there are politicians who can make cogent arguments in favor of small government, limited spending, pork and earmarks, as well as point out the flaws of socialized medicine, men like Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). But Flake is a pariah within his own party because of his attacks on pork and legislators of all parties lined up at the trough.
Conservatives have no voice in the GOP, and Barney Frank -- who has vulnerabilities out the wazoo -- is free to run the table on Sunday morning news shows.
Pathetic.
