Hey Coach – Take the Player off the Field
Democrats would never be a good sports team, whether in baseball, basketball or football. They can’t play as a team because there are too many, “It’s all about ME” members on the team.
I’m sure you’ve all seen at some time or another a game being played where one or two players seem to think the only way to win is by taking control of the ball and not using other members of the team to get the job done. Well, that’s been the Democratic Party for the past 9 years now.
It doesn’t matter who’s in the White House or who is in charge of the House and Senate, Democrats have tripped over their own feet so many times I begin to count how many.
When they fought against the wars during the Bush years, there was always a group of Democrats that would end up siding with the Republicans. When it was about the prescription drug program, another group of Democrats would end up siding with the Republicans. When it was about investigating the Bush administration over pre-war intelligence or claims of WMD in Iraq – again a small group of Democrats would side with the Republicans.
Now with the Health Care reform bills, once again there are a one or two Democrats that think the story is all about THEM, that THEY are the so-called hero’s of Americans by standing against any major changes to our health care system.
When I’ve been at a ballgame with a player or two doing this, I’ve yelled the following…”Hey Coach, take them out of the game – or LOSE BIG TIME”.
Well coach (Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and President Barack Obama), it’s time to take these non-team players off the field or floor. It’s been TIME for quite awhile now.
