No Mothra, don't go! It's a trap!
Wow, you know things are screwed up when only monster analogies will get you through!
Fox has an interesting headline about whether or not Mothra will say ‘Yes’ to Godzilla’s invite to get together for televised meeting about “health care.” You know, the sort of meeting where, since Godzilla knows everyone hates him, if people see Mothra with him, they’ll hate Mothra too and maybe not hate Godzilla as much. You know, it can’t be all Godzilla’s fault since Mothra is willing to go over and strategize with him. What?
In other words, Repubs should not take Urkel up on the invite. And no, the Repubs don’t need to “show off” any of their ideas, they need to stop Obama’s Ghost Train of Death in its tracks. They can show off with conservative victories in November and when there’s a Republican in the White House in 2012.
Republicans Can Show Off Ideas at White House Summit, but Will They?
Next week’s televised political showdown in Washington over health care reform will give a resurgent GOP perhaps its most prominent opportunity yet to counter Democrats’ repeated claim that it is the “party of no.”
Republicans have argued that they have better ideas on how to provide improved health care to more people without breaking the bank, and they see the wind at their backs in the health care debate, with polls showing the public increasingly skeptical of the Democrats’ plan.
Whether they can capitalize on a bipartisan meeting that many in their own party fear is a partisan “trap” remains to be seen.
Hmm, capitalize on being seen with Obama working on how to destroy the country together. Sounds like a plan. Just ask Corzine and Coakley. And Bennet. And Reid.
This whole idea is fucking stupid. Republicans should know when something is not in their skill set… and media relations is not one of them.
Tammy, this is superb! Mothra and Godzilla make a sharp analogy.
State is the name of the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly it tells lies too; and this lie crawls out of its mouth: “I, the state, am the people.”
That is a lie! It was creators who created peoples and hung a faith and a love over them: thus they served life.

Newt made a very good point at CPAC… principled bipartisanship. If the dems agree to start from scratch and if the republicans are allowed equal time to present their proposals ( tort reform, transportability and open competition), hold true to them , argue policies on merit AND have the whole thing on c-span, well…. isn’t that what we want…. or as Sarah Palin would put it ‘a healthy competition of ideas’…? Isn’t that the way our system was designed to work by our Founders in the first place ?
The Republicans had better play it smart and beat the godling at his own game on Thursday. Don’t forget that in January, the godling rehired savage political strategist David Plouffe way back when everyone thought ODeathCare was dead [Was it only a month ago? My, oh my.]. Well, Plouffe gets rehired, and voila! That ghoul of a bill gets new life. This stupid “healthcare summit” has “Plouffe” written all over it. It’s meant to make the Republicans look even worse than they already do. And there’s more Plouffe to come.
Tammy pointed out today in the show that both the Left and the Right shouldn’t be worried about their drones; they got ’em. It’s the Independents that are up for grabs. It would serve Independents and True Conservatives well to remind the Dead Old Party’s leadership that they aren’t a zombie of the GOP. CATs and Independents should remind Sen. Mitch McConnel and the other “summit Republicans” of that before they meet with Obama on Thursday.
