Check out the following video and see if you get any feelings of deja vu…

Now, forget for a moment about the guy caressing his shotgun and the other guy claiming that the Democrats are the root of all evil in the world. Also, forget about the scene where the latter suggests that Republicans are the only ones who allow him to say what he wants to say without fear of going to jail (perhaps it’s because he’s a white male traditional family values sort of guy that he’s never had to worry about saying anything too controversial).

Take that ridiculousness out and what are you left with? You got it. President Obama’s election winning message. It’s as if all the Rush Limbaugh fans (who could never hope to have an original thought) got together and did an awkward tribute video for Barack Obama. Gotta make sure you include lots of regular working class people. Throw out the fear mongering of the Bush years and talk about change and hope. Talk about how the little guy’s getting screwed. Talk about freedom to do what you want to do and the government listening to the middle class for a change.

So that’s how they’re going to rebuild their party? By parroting the stuff that worked for the Democrats and hoping everyone will forget the last eight years? It’s like a guy who beats his wife and then tells her, “Baby, ain’t no one gonna love you like I do.” Ha! All the while, images of Ronald Reagan float from scene to scene as if he was their Messiah and they’re waiting for him to rise again! Somehow, I just can’t buy that the guy who brought us the Iran contra scandal would be able to start turning water into wine.

In case you guys haven’t noticed, YOUR FEARLESS LEADER got us into this cluster fuck of an economy. How about holding off rebuilding the party that made it possible for such a complete dumb ass to lead the free world into disaster for just a few months and pitch in. You guys love talking about patriotism, right? Well wouldn’t that involve lending a hand to the guy trying to fix things? He’s not going to get everything right, but he’s trying, damn it, and you’re being a bunch of twits about it because he’s trying something different. Do you really think he wants to fail? Of course not. That means you share the same goal. Because the Democrats are in charge now and you’re not, they’re going to try a different strategy. You’re just going to have to deal with that. Now it’s your chance to be a sober voice of opposition, to point out specific flaws in any of their proposals and get them fixed. That, or you can keep pouting and let them claim all the credit for any progress that is made.
