Dear GOP: You Get One More Chance

Borrowed, echoed, and slightly altered from Drew M at Ace of Spades.

Dear GOP,

This is your final chance. If you blow this, I'm out and you will need to be destroyed.

What is it? Repeal ObamneyCare on Day 1. Don't worry about replace, don't worry about anything else. We will do everything we have to do in order to drag your pathetic selves over the line this fall, including electing Mitt "I'm a Principle-Free, Flip-Flopping Rino" Romney.

In return this is what you will do:

Instead of adjourning for pictures and tea and cake to celebrate getting your worthless selves elected to 2 or 6 years on the government teet, you will immediately pass a one page bill that says, "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (and whatever statute number has to be included) is hereby repealed."

That's it. Nothing more, and absolutely nothing less.

Since Congress meets before Inauguration Day, Downgrade will still be President. Simply hold the legislation at the desk so the 10 day pocket veto clock doesn't start. If other parliamentary maneuvers are needed, just do it.

Then as soon as Mitt takes the oath of office and before his speech—no one will care or remember—walk the bill up to him at the podium to sign.

If this does not happen, the GOP must be destroyed and a new party built to replace it. We've tried the carrot approach (votes, money, volunteers) to change your behavior. Now it's time to show you the stick.

No more "oh the other guys are worse" scare tactics. That might be true, but as you've proven time and time again it doesn't mean you are any good.

This is your one job. Do it or join the Whig Party in the dustbin of history.

With incredible seriousness,

Mr. Light Bulb
