Last week I wrote that John Boehner, House Minority Leader, needs to come up with new ideas and not just offer more of the same “Tax Cuts” and “Small Government” rhetoric, especially if they are all voting “no” against the Economic Recovery Bill.
Well it seems I’m not alone! John Boehner went on “Meet the Press” and declared that he and the Republicans were going to be more than “the party of no.” He said that they were going to be “the party of better ideas, better solutions.” Naturally David Gregory asked what those ideas were. OK ready for this, John Boehner said, he’ll get back to us “over the coming months.” Get Back to us?
This seems to be the new song Republicans are singing as others such as Virginia congressman Eric Cantor echoes Boehner promising that they are not “the party of no” and someday will offer “solutions and alternatives.”
If the Republicans want a new song to sing, here are a few suggestions and lyrics.
Someday by Nickelback
“How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren’t we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try turn the tables
I wish you’d unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there’s been too much of this
But don’t think it’s too late
Nothing’s wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I’m gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you’re wondering when”
Someday by Alan Jackson
“And I said someday
I’ll get my life straight
And she said it’s too late
What’s done is done
And I told her someday
She said I can’t wait
‘Cause sometimes someday just never comes”
Someday by Barbara Streisand
“Someday, somewhere
We’ll find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere…
There’s a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There’s a time for us
Someday there’ll time for us…”
The problem is America can’t afford to wait for “Someday.”
