Isn't it funny how Republicans are surprised at the pushback they've received at their town hall meetings? Voters have squawked at them about the Ryan budget, the GOP's insatiable desire to eradicate the social safety net, the destruction of Medicare, and more. Visions of 2005 and the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived's rapidly diminishing "political capital" are dancing in our heads.
To these startled Republicans, we cats can only quote an Easter-appropriate phrase: You reap what you sow, fellas. (It's in the Bible. Look it up.)
Seriously, though, it's outrageous that Ryan and his partners in crime think they should not be held accountable for trying to ruin Americans' lives. On that note, we cats wish that journalists would be a little more aggressive in pursuing hypocrisy and mendacity in all its forms.
For example, the other day, the Republican speaker of the Minnesota House egregiously — and erroneously — cited the right to vote as a "privilege." After someone apparently informed this fool of his mistake, he frantically tried to take it back.
We cats think that ex-Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who is flirting with a run for the 2012 Republican nomination, should be asked about this at every stop he makes on the campaign trail. Why not? The House speaker idiot is from his party, and from his state. Make Pawlenty disavow it until he's blue in the face!
It's a problem. Republicans are rarely made to disavow. Even when they say and do scary, un-American things. We cats HISS.
