I think I compared the Republican Party to Dave Hogan or the character "Lardass" in the film "Stand By Me". In fact, I am quite sure I did. Yesterday, it was. As time goes by and cooler minds prevail, I am more and more convinced of the equivalence: Republican=Lardass.
The point of the similarity is that Lardass got his revenge at the end of the county fair pie eating contest by a castor-oil induced vomitous hurling catastrophe...as if castor oil induced vomiting. Castor oil is a laxative and a purgative. So the finale of "Lardass's Revenge" was a bit more rabelesian than was shown in the film: it was a general, bowel-emptying rampage.
Anyhow, that is why Republican=Lardass, because in the 25 years since Reagan the present day Republican Party has brought this country to the brink of ruin: Lardass Republican revenge.
It is also summed up in the story of Karl Rove remarking that Barack Obama was a fellow who stood in the Country Club and sniggered and made fun of the other people, thinking himself to be superior to them. Of course, this was all due to Rove's own days as a callow youth, when his generally goofy demeanor surely brought many sniggers upon his homely head. That is when Rove swore to revenge himself against a world of beauty and light.
Anyway, the Republicans have tried to kill the USA of welfare checks and Middle Class niceties, and have thrown the baby out with the bath water and Perrier. They have globalized the world in order that they may have places of refuge overseas. This shows good forethought on their part. Yes, indeed. Many of the earnings reports show multinationals doing well precisely due to their foreign income, not their US income. Thus, the USA can be written off as a derelict neighborhood, and its people can be pushed into the ash can of recession...or worse...and the Republicans will read about on the sea front in Abu Dhabai and shake their heads, glad they do not have to live in the USA- or the "projects" as they will call it.
