Republicans: Stuck Between Their Crock And A Hard Place
When it comes to health reform, Republicans are stuck between their crock and a hard place.
Repeal (requiring a veto-proof majority as long as Obama is president) is virtually impossible, not to mention unpopular. But the very GOP lies that came close to blocking health reform have brainwashed the Republican base into demanding its rescission. Consequently, many Republican leaders feel forced to perpetuate their doomsday and Armageddon claims and fight for repeal, even though they know it’s a lost cause.
That brings me to my latest limerick:
Republicans: Stuck Between Their Crock And A Hard Place
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The GOP base screams “Repeal!”
And Republicans pledge to with zeal.
Cuz they set their own trap
With their factual gap:
Nixing laws that have widespread appeal.

Now the GOP shows they’re sore losers,
Turning violent to look like big bruisers,
Wing-nuts throw notes on bricks,
Ramping up dirty tricks.
Put them in the back seats of cops’ cruisers.
Republicans better take stock
Lest voters start cleaning their clock
Electoral hell
Is much worse, they tell
Than Sisyphus rolling the rock
Thanks for joining in with your limericks, Karen and Realist!
