The plot sickens

"We're not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don't know what that even is."

No, this isn’t a quote from Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon. This is what Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) told The Washington Examiner in an interview yesterday. Sure sounds like an extortionist to me.

Stutzman
Yeah, we put a gun to the head of the United States, but you’re not cooperating. You simply want us to put down the gun. Are you crazy? We’re not letting go of this bitch without getting something. You understand?

Sgt. Reality
Millions of people are suffering because of you. The majority of Americans think you’re insane. No one’s on your side except for FOX News and a few grumpy old white men.

Stutzman
Obamacare is a socialist plot. We are trying to save America from a communist takeover.

Sgt. Reality
You and about 0.00001 percent of the population actually believe that. The rest of us just want to get on with our lives. You’ve made your point, whatever that point was, now you’re actually hurting your fellow Americans.

Stutzman
It’s for the greater good, and quitting now would make us look weak and foolish.

Sgt. Reality
You’re going to bring America to its knees to save face.

Stutzman
It’s all Obama’s fault!
