We cats had the following thoughts on the political scene in between bites of our pumpkin chowder this evening.
Are we the only ones to notice how so many images the Republicans are using this year seem violent? The famous quitter from Alaska has her "Mama Grizzlies." A group of GOP House members is called "the Young Guns." Sharron Angle refers to "Second Amendment remedies." Somebody better tell George Bush Senior that he's no longer a member of a kinder, gentler party.
Speaking of Republican nuts, we have a prediction to make: One of the GOP Presidential candidates in 2012 will use the Gadsden Flag as a campaign logo. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if one of the candidates changed his or her name to Nathan Hale. (Just kidding on that last one.)
Finally, we PURR in the direction of former President Bill Clinton, for his canny advice to voters this midterm election. "All [Democrats are] asking you for is two more years," he said. "You get a chance to fire us all in two more years, but don't throw us out [now] and embrace the policies that got us into trouble." We cats think this is brilliant — not just because it's wise, but also because it politically shrewd. See, unlike 2010, when President Obama is not on the ballot, in 2012 America won't just be asked to vote out the Democrats — they'll be asked to vote for Mike Pence, or Sarah Palin, or John Thune, or Mike Huckabee, or Carl Paladino, or whoever the idiot is who gets the Republican nomination.
(P.S. Just kidding on that Paladino thing.)
UPDATE: Want proof on the violent Republican images? A male Sharron Angle supporter has punched a female Harry Reid supporter. This all needs to stop before somebody gets killed.
