What would you trust Congressional Republicans to run competently?

Discuss...

:popcorn:


/dammit, there are two "c"s in "raccoon".

[leftofcool]

1. I vote "other" which you didn't include

I would trust them to run the shit through my sewer line.

[krispos42]

3. Ah, but which way would the shit flow?

Hint: keep the lid down.

:D

[TheBigotBasher]

2. Campaigns based on hate, lies and fear.

They do that very well.

Blackmail?

Criminal gangs?

Terrorist outfits?

[krispos42]

5. That's under "major corporation"

Or the Presidency.

:hi:

[JAnthony]

4. It is hard to trust ANY Republican with ANY thing these days

I see no evidence as to how they are earning my trust.

[krispos42]

6. You can't even trust their Boehner to stay firm.

Sad, really.

[bigwillq]

7. Nothing (nt)

[krispos42]

11. One brave soul trust them with a shovel and dead raccoon.

It could be a shocking, or explosive, experience...

[Bluenorthwest]

8. Wouldn't trust them to run my car through the car wash

nt

[krispos42]

12. Oh, I'm sure they can manage to do that

If you define "through" loosely enough.

[appleannie1]

9. If I trusted them to suck out my septic system, they would

dig up my well instead and then claim it was an entitlement that I did not need and destroy it.

[krispos42]

13. Oh, just tell them there's oil at the bottom of the tank

:D

[leftofcool]

15. LOL

[JoePhilly]

10. Control of fantasy land, they already live there.

[krispos42]

14. If you were a conservative, you'd want to live there, too. n/t

[JoePhilly]

17. Sure, roads and bridges would be built using fairy dust for free ...

There would be no regulations of any kind, and no taxes.

No old people, no sick, no poor, only wealthy old white guys and their subservient trophy wives.

[krispos42]

20. The invisible hand of the free market guiding unicorn farts...

... to build golf courses and luxury yachts.

*sniff* It's BEAUTIFUL

[sarge43]

16. Oldie, but goldies

They couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.

They couldn't tell shit from Shinola.

If they put their head between their legs, then looked up, they still wouldn't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

They'd get lost in a telephone booth.

[krispos42]

23. Ah, but they would excel at convincing you they COULD pour piss out of a boot

For 20% less than a union and/or government worker, as well. Just sign here and go away.

[sarge43]

24. Of course. The tickle down effect. Gotcha. n/t

[Brigid]

18. A two-car funeral?

Maybe?

[krispos42]

21. I like your optimism!

:thumbsup:

Doubtless the invisible hand of the free market will guide those cars along the private, for-profit highway with nary a scratch.

[Tom Rinaldo]

19. Maybe an advertising agency.

But of course I would hate their ethics and find their campaigns personally mind numbing. But all that fits within the boundaries of normal for that field. The G.O.P. knows how to pick a buzz word message and pound it into your skull whether you agree with it or not, and that is competency in that field.

[krispos42]

22. Campaign yes, agency no.

Because you know one day you'd find out that they'd emptied all their accounts, maxed out their customer's charge cards, torched the building for the insurance money, and emigrated to Peru.

[Tom Rinaldo]

25. Good points. Yup. n/t

[Jefferson23]

26. To efficiently run the entire country into the ground...they are experts at it. n/t

[Jakes Progress]

27. They can competently run the nation straight to hell.

[Sheepshank]

28. $1,000,000 says they would screw up the Doritos purchase

It's too south of the border...they'd come back with Funyons.

[krispos42]

29. Or Pringles. those are more orderly, and the Repubs NEED order imposed on them

otherwise they freak out.

[krispos42]

30. Somebody voted for "the federal Congress"?

:wtf:

[harun]

31. They can't run anything by themselves. Which is why they need slaves.

[krispos42]

33. Now now now. let's be polite and call them "low-information voters"

... or perhaps "outsourced labor".

[lunatica]

32. The waterboarding wing at Gitmo.

[krispos42]

34. Just as long as you don't want usable intelligence! n/t

[BigBearJohn]

35. a concentration camp

[krispos42]

38. They do seem to run those pretty well, don't they?

Very.... efficiently.

[pepperbear]

36. a hot dog stand. maybe.

[krispos42]

39. Free-marketeers and food safety and purity?

Oooo... :hurts:

[Jack Rabbit]

37. Hmmm, if they really want work with administrative skills . ..

. . . we can put them in charge of finding lost puppies in national parks.

[krispos42]

40. As long as they don't have any matches

Otherwise... "It was like finding a needle in a haystack! So I burn up all the hay. Made it much easier to search!"

[jberryhill]

41. Pushing water downstream

Either that or I'd put them in charge of making the sun come up on time.

[Silent3]

42. They'd bring the dead raccoon inside...

...put it on your dining room table, then refuse to remove it until you agreed to cut spending and lower taxes on the rich.
