America has perhaps just this one last chance to win this game

Dems Opt To Punt On Fourth Down And A Country Mile

It is football season. So that means it is time for me to dust off the analogies and start comparing politics to my second favorite professional sport. If I could have come up with an article worthy hockey analogy I would have compared it to my favorite sport but that is just the way the cookie crumbles.

We now take you to the field ...

It has been a doozy of a fight between America and the left. To recap the action here for those of you just joining us, the left had a first down on America’s own four yard line because too many Americans just stopped playing the game. They walked off the field and left behind only a few of their countrymen to stand on the gridiron and finish the game as the liberals continued to play hard. Outmanned and outgunned however those Americans that remained vigilant saved certain defeat with a last second tackle after the left had gone ahead on their previous drive.

The left pouted. They threw a red challenge flag complaining that they had been unjustly denied their game clinching touchdown. But the referees conferred and after looking at the replay from every conceivable angle determined that yes indeed the left had not been unfairly denied. After throwing a second red flag and being told that they could not do so, the left yelled and screamed. They were assessed a fifteen yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct and moved back to America’s nineteen.

They were still within range of a field goal and could have pretty much sewn up the game. But on first and goal the left continued to complain. They got slapped with another penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct and were moved back to the thirty-four. Undeterred Senator John Kerry grabbed the referee, got assessed another fifteen yards, saw his team pushed back midfield and had himself ejected.

Realizing that they were not getting anywhere the left finally decided to actually try to run some plays. On first and goal from the forty-nine they came up to the line. President Obama came up under center barking out the play call. “Evil Republicans!â€
