Hoodwinked by GOP

I have been hoodwinked by those crafty, clever devils: the Republicans.

All along I’ve been thinking they just didn’t get it, and now as the trap closes I realize that I’m the one who missed it.

Do you know what those fools were doing? They were conducting two wars “off budget,” that is without creating any budget for them.

And then, as another stupid move, they engineered a huge tax reduction for those who would reduce available money the most: the very rich.

But now I’m thinking maybe they weren’t so dumb after all. See, they realized that they’d alienated the entire country, so it was a dead certain cinch they weren’t going to be re-elected. What to do? What to do?

Simple, to a Republican. Just break the bank so there’d be no funding for the opposition to do anything except struggle out of the hole left for them.

See, smart! Crafty, evil smart.
