The left always has to reconcile with the right. It's never a 2 way street.

The ANC did it with the Afrikaners,in the name of peace. Democrats are doing it now with the Bush administration. That is the rights ace. They would literally go to war.

1. The tortoise and the scorpion..Guess which is which.

One day, a scorpion who wanted to cross a pond. As you may know, scorpions can’t really swim. He found a rather unsuspecting tortoise and asked if he would give him a lift.

The tortoise exclaimed, “Are you joking? You’ll sting me while I’m swimming and I’ll drown.”

“My dear tortoise,” laughed the scorpion, “If I were to sting you, you would drown and I’d go down with you! Now where is the logic in that?”

“You’ve got a point there,” reasoned the tortoise. “Hop on.”

The scorpion climbed aboard and the tortoise set off into the water. Halfway across the pond, the scorpion carefully aimed his powerful stinger and gave that tortoise everything he had.

As they both sank to the bottom, the tortoise, resigned to his fate, turned to the scorpion and said, “You said there is no logic in you stinging me. So why did you do it?”

“It has nothing to do with logic,” the drowning scorpion replied. “It’s just my nature!”

3. I wish knowledge of what is actually going on was a factor.

What's really to reconcile with the right? They aren't doing a damned thing except obstructing, yet they get away with it.

Tweety, believe it or not, pretty much pointed that out today on his show. They get the approval numbers for doing absolutely nothing.

4. It's madness.

I wish I could see it from their side somehow,just to try and understand it. "I hate the government,vote for me" should not be rewarded.

5. The Republicans stick together and vote "no"

The Democrats always have Lieberman and the Blue Dogs to contend with.
