Democrats’ Newest Strategy: “Chicken!”

Filed under: Government,Health Care,Politics — DRJ @ 4:07 pm



[Guest post by DRJ]

Jim Treacher reads Byron York’s interview with a Democratic strategist — the strategist’s advice to Congressional Democrats is to vote for health care and don’t be such crybabies — and provides this pithy summary of the Democrats’ newest health care strategy:

“That’s right: If you’re not willing to destroy the most amazing health care system in the history of the world, you’re a pussy.

Maybe Barry and Harry and Nancy should just go around with their hands tucked into their armpits, flapping their elbows and making bawk-bawk noises. “What are ya, chicken? Gonna vote no, chicken? Chicken! Chicken chicken chicken!” It’s not like they’ve got any dignity left anyway.”

Why not? It worked in junior high school.

  1. can you imagine the visual if the First Klingon joins that trio for a rousing rendition of “Shake Your Tail Feathers”, on a televised edition of “Soul Train to Hell”?

  3. It would be more honest than what they have been doing, even if “less mature”.

  4. Suck it up, America!

    Obama policies projected to add $9.7 trillion to debt by 2020… Estimates show grim picture…

  5. if the First Failure’s policies and budgets are allowed to go forward, the numbers will be worse than that, because there won’t be any of the economic growth that they are forecasting.

  6. Hmmm … perhaps Speaker Pelosi fancies herself in a Western role as “Quick-Draw Buckaw” …

    that joke laid an egg….

  9. You want chicken jokes?

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted HEALTH CARE!

  10. What did the Democrat chicken say to the Republican chicken?

    Racist!

  11. If two chickens can lay three eggs in three days, how many eggs will 7 chickens lay in five days?

    Nancy Pelosi: All your eggs are belong to me!

  12. Apparently one of their tactics is to turn their sights on Stupak. MadCow is digging through his life on the air.

  13. Why did the chicken cross the road? She didn’t want to but she was strapped to the government worker who was helping her out for her own good.

  14. Ya know what happens when the lamestream media starts frying those on their own side of the great divide? Some of them wake up and switch sides.

    Yeah, that’s going to go well for them. Sudden craving for popcorn.

  16. “Democrats’ newest health care strategy:”

    You make a nice transition from something like “the hypothetical advice given by an anonymous ‘strategist'” to “the Democrats strategy.” That’s quite a nice leap you got there.

    imdw (842182)

  17. Thank you.

    DRJ (daa62a)

  18. Ya know, I haven’t had popcorn in maybe 6 months. I sure could use some kettle corn popped in coconut oil and drownded in butter. Watching LSM go after Stupak would be almost as good as watching Matrix the first time.

    John Hitchcock (8f46db)

  19. Of course, LSM v Stupak is more on the lines of Soylent Green than Matrix…

    John Hitchcock (8f46db)

  20. Apparently MadCow doesn’t think he pays enough rent, and he is involved with an EEK christian fellowship.

    JD (2ed087)

  21. …which naturally follows that he’s a closeted racist tea bagger.

  22. It worked in junior high school.

    And that’s pretty much where the ideology of most people of the left who are well past the age of their grade-school or college years became frozen and moribund.

    Nothing more pathetic than observing people like Obama and Pelosi suffering from a severe lack of common sense and still wedded to the liberal politics of bratty teenagers.

    Could be worse. They could start doing it in public.

  24. Oh thats right ..its the greatest health care system in the world.. for those that can afford it or provided you never get sick.
    Lets keep this wonderful system in which insurance companies take as much as possible and give as little as they can in return. Why to think otherwise is anti American!! Greed is a good thing and to think otherwise is to undermine our Christian values!
    I love my Medicare but to extent it to others in there 40s is SOCIALISM!!!! and to extend it to those under 40..why that is something only Adolph Hitler could have thought of..
    Besides to admit the system needs reform is to admit a flaw in America and we all know that is near treason.

    Damn how I wish Charles Darwin could rule the USA like he rules the Republican party.
    And now that I mention it..when are we going to get rid of those commie inspired Child Labor laws??

  25. I do have to admit the cost is high.. and we need that money to make more bombs.. one of the few things we still lead the world in manufacturing..

    VietnamEraVet (9f20cf)

  26. Code Brown on aisles 25 and 26! This is not a drill!

    John Hitchcock (80001c)

  27. “Of course, LSM v Stupak is more on the lines of Soylent Green than Matrix…”

    LSM?

    imdw (688568)

  28. VietnamEraVet… where did you receive your basic training and where and with whom did you serve in Vietnam?

    GeneralMalaise (04e9c2)

  29. He wasn’t in Vietnam, just in the (IIRC) Air Force during that time. I also think he claims to have served a couple of years in the Phillipines. He never answered my question on whether he completed his enlistment or got an Honorable Discharge though. He comes here for reminders to take his meds.

    Stashiu3 (44da70)

  30. Amen, Treach. I see Vev’s meds ran out again.

    JD (df4ec8)

  31. His HD was an ammendment to John Kerry’s.

  32. imadimwit, you should already know by now LSM is lamestream media.

    And my daughter is a better man than VeV. She’s been a better man than VeV for years. She served honorably in Iraq for 15 months, gaining “SOM” and “SOQ” while deployed, having joined the Army due to events, and in September, she’ll be returning to Iraq for another 12 months. She has greater logic capacity, greater intellectual capacity, greater critical thinking capacity, greater humanity than VeV could ever dream of having. And that makes her a greater man than VeV. Those qualities make Foxfier a greater man than VeV, too.

    John Hitchcock (80001c)

  33. “imadimwit, you should already know by now LSM is lamestream media.”

    Oh. I just didn’t realize people actually said “lamestream” or needed to shorten it. I mean, that’s so…. sad?

    But who knows. Maybe soon we’ll have a right wing candidate that has a child with disabilities, and “lame” will be as verbotten as “retarded.” Unless it is for “satire.”

  34. When that happens, imdw, we’ll count on you and David Letterman to tell us how funny it is.

    SPQR (26be8b)

  35. I’d counsel against saying something as silly as “lamestream” starting pronto. But that’s not because of any PC concerns.

  36. Well, we could use SCM!
