Republicans think they are being martyred, and not over ideologies or even politics, but because of personal issues. This is not true. The G.O.P. keeps saying, 'We just want to help. What's wrong with that?' What's wrong with is that it isn't true, either.

The 'Republican' officials within our Legislative branch of government are very much like a dumb-ass boyfriend who has been asked (guilted) to help with the arrangement of an engagement - a dinner party, birthday, something.
The girlfriend and her mother (or father, but usually mother--ladies are often exculsive partners in crime) out a lot of faith in the dumb-ass boyfriend to fulfill his duty to the best of his ability. And he does. Because he is a dumb-ass, he does everything wrong.
This is when the girlfriend and her mother (definitely mother) berate the boyfriend for being a dumb-ass. His natural response is denial:
'What the hell are you harrassing me for, I helped didn't I?'

Congress is being a dumb-ass boyfriend. We should call one of our ex-boyfriends to put a scare into them. Not a past Congress - someone more along the lines of the Mafia, the Cartel, or even those in hiding in the middle east whom we funded through the 1980s. Congress needs to understand that they should be lucky to have such a trusting girl on their arm. We are fragile though, and someone needs to remind Congress how one should treat fragile things, else they are broken. Perhaps we should start by making Congress little more fragile, maybe then they would understand.
But alas, there would still be no justice. Once Congress knows what it feels like to be a battered ex-lover they will pour their time and money into obliterating spousal abuse all together. There would be a federal fund for it, Planned Parenthood would resume, and there would be peace and prosperity throughout the land. But how did this all start in the first place?

Congress, like a celebrity, does not care about a problem unless it fucks them in the ass. After they have suffered internal bleeding or H.I.V. do they see this problem as a personal challenge. And after they have 'beaten' this challenge they are labeled 'hero,' or 'humanitarian.'

All I'm saying is Congress should act like the Americans they are instead of the capitalists they want to be. That's all...
