GOP is like "the boy who cried wolf"
They go into rage and emotional vapors over everything the Obama administration does, including telling school children to stay in school. Everything is so overblown that it is time to label them the "boy who cried wolf" and dismiss all of it as political opportunism, emotional and irrelevant ranting, and basically bullsh**.

Yet another example of the Cry Wolf Party:

1. I especially love...
All their caterwauling about the evils of "big government". This is, of course, one of the most
hypocritical and disingenuous lines of shit in the history of disingenuous and hypocritical lines of shit! Somehow the Patriot Act, waterboarding, kidknapping(uh...rendition), wireless wiretaps, wars all over the place do not constitute "big government"? Gimme a fucking break-I have never once seen anyone in the so-called liberal media point out this spade(disingenuous and hypocritical) as a fucking spade!

3. My point is that
Edited on Sat Nov-28-09 01:37 PM by Nancy Waterman
every little thing, no matter what it is, they scream about. I would like the phrase the "party who cries wolf" to stick to them. It is a way of being dismissive of all their criticism, rather than getting defensive and responding to every little complaint, which is what the Dems do now.

It would almost be a "there they go again" attitude.

"There they go again, the Party Who Cries Wolf!!"

4. Because "no" quickly gets boring...
...they are stuck in a feedback loop where every remotely progressive--or simply less conservative--initiative must be decried with as much melodrama as possible.

5. Yep! Or like the little boy who murdered his parents and then whined because
he was an orphan.
