Don't Children Just Wear You Down?

This via BuzzFlash. They're hawking the book pictured above and well they should.

Of course, the Democrats could fight back, but that would take stamina and the ability to stay on message for a very long period of time.

Been meaning to get to this. Now I will.

Dealing with Bushco is very like trying to parent. Its a 24/7 job and it lasts many years. If your kid wants a puppy, sooner or later you will get a puppy or kill your kid. There's no middle ground. If the kid is around, you'll be pestered incessantly until you give in and you can't kill the kid.

Take Social Security, please. Every time progressives relax because they've killed an attempt by Bushco to vandalize it, here comes another charge by the light in the scruples brigade. Drilling in the Arctic? Eliminating the estate tax? Unitarian executive? The list goes on and on.

And the list is eternal. Nothing gets crossed off the list until Bush and his cabal get what they want. They just wear the Dems down until they give in to stop the pestering.

And just like children, they'll say almost anything to get their way. Oh they may, like children, believe at the time what they say, but they don't have patience and will renege. Or they just don't understand the consequences of what they want. The child says, "I'll feed the puppy and bathe him and take very good care of him." If you're lucky you won't have to feed the puppy the first week.

With something like Social Security its more serious. Everything will be fine until it isn't, but its too late because you already own that puppy.
