Letter to Your Congressperson...

A friend just sent me this... 

For those of you inclined and in need of a quick off-the-shelf retort to send to a law maker who has offended your sensibilities, I have created a template for you to work with and modify to your needs.  I know that a few of you out there were on the other side of this issue, so just ignore this.   Have fun with it.  Copy and Paste.

 

It is indeed an interesting blend of tragic comedy performed by the Republican Party during the health care reform debate, the vote in Congress, and now the aftermath of defeat.  It touches on the absurd of flawed logic, unsustainable holy acrimony, prevarications, a thwarted sense of values, and all wrapped up in the most vile of any contemptible civic behavior.  There is absolutely no sense of history in any of the actions.  It has been said in the past that stuff like this appears to an observer that one has shot a hole in one's foot.   You have set a new standard for tawdriness and despicable behavior in an elected official.  You have gone beyond the pale and blown off your legs.
