Groucho channels today's Republicans ...

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is
Or who commenced it
I'm against it!

Your proposition may be good
But let's have one thing understood
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
And even when you've changed it
Or condensed it
I'm against it!

I'm opposed to it
On general principles
I'm opposed to it!
(He's opposed to it)
(In fact, he says he's opposed to it!)

For months before my son was born
I used to yell from night to morn
"Whatever it is, I'm against it!"
And I've kept yelling
Since I first commenced it
"I'm against it!"

2. , I've had this taped to the side of my refrigerator
for about a year. Someone else on DU had posted this about GOP behavior and it is perfect.

7. ran across it on Turner Classic Movies last night ...
introduction of Groucho in "Horse Feathers" ... it so reminded me of the Repugs of today.

Remembered to look for it and post it just a bit ago ...

9. Groucho was a Democrat
Edited on Tue Mar-30-10 09:38 AM by Bluenorthwest
A very liberal man.
"All people are born alike-except Republicans and Democrats." Groucho Marx

10. And if Groucho were alive today, I'd like to believe he'd be singing along
with this tune by the HappyTones:

11. I was aware of that ...
that's why I said "channels" ... not claiming that Groucho WAS a Republican.
