If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.”

From Huffington Post:

Senator Jim DeMint, R-S.C., who has taken a particular glee in pushing the argument that health care could be Obama’s unraveling, did little to calm the rhetoric between him and the White House on Sunday.

Appearing on “This Week,” the South Carolina Republican said the president was “out of control” and offering false promises and panic in an effort to get health care legislation passed.

Such are the various words of self-centered little prick named Jim DeMint. This is the exact kind of person we want to avoid working for us in public sector - someone who’s need to win an argument or black another party’s bill over doing the work of the people. His statement about “breaking” Obama is both ugly and nakedly political, but beyond that it’s the rallying cry of the republican party. This asshole truly has no feelings for the electorate and his intentions are suspect:

DeMint’s co-panelist, Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D, is not, necessarily, the best defender for the White House, having refused to get on board such items as a public option for insurance coverage. But the North Dakota Democrat offered ample push back, saying that while he agreed that it is “critical” to get health care right - even if it means slowing down the process - DeMint’s objectives were far more sinister.

“Jim has been very clear,” Conrad said. “He wants to kill it. And I think that would be a tragedy because we’ve got a crisis here for the country.”

It’s been half a year since Obama has become the President and the Republican party has offered nothing but immaturity. They’ve consistently slapped away every hand of bipartisanship offered to them. They’ve forced compromise on bills, but when the time came to vote they all backed away. They’ve not offered ONE SINGLE THOUGHTFUL, USEFUL SUGGESTION for the stimulus, the healthcare initiative or anything else that hasn’t reeked of the same lame bullshit we’ve heard from them for 10 years.

Thankfully, Obama has been bold enough to ask them to put up or shut up.

So, Republicians, what do you have to show us other than your indifferent to the lives of every American out there. What great new idea will lift us out of this recession (oh, yeah, by the way we’re technically out of it no thanks to you guys) and solve a healthcare crisis? What pearls of wisdom have you learned form eight years of fleecing the public, licking the rear ends of big business and lining your own pockets? Anything useful? Or are you STILL living with the fantasy that your disaster of a party platform, one that has proven Reaganomics is a complete failure, still has the best ideas when they have NO IDEAS.

I think the party functions on something more basic: hatred for the anyone who would spoil their eight year party. They STILL cannot believe that Obama is President and their Sodom and Gamorrha political reign is over. They can’t fathom that the American people are smarter than the sods they had them pegged as, one of the reasons they’re using the same hateful, divisive, ugly rhetoric they’ve been using for decades (the only difference is it’s not working anymore).

Guys like Jim DeMint are nothing more than the head that grew where those of Gingrich, Delay, Bush, Cheney, and others were cut off recently. He’s a nasty little character who offers only obstructionism. If it were a bar fight instead of politics, he’d be on the floor bleeding a long time ago.
