The Republicans’ French Twist

I remember not long ago when Republicans didn’t like France. Back in the day, the French disagreed with our involvement in the War on Iraq. You remember the War on Iraq….Weapons of Mass Destruction…Saddam Hussein was worst than 10 African Dictators put together…yada yada yada. Republican representative Bob Ney, wanted to send a message of America’s displeasure to France. The message was going to be symbolic of America’s commitment to the War. Rep. Ney wanted to change French Toast into Freedom Toast. It still sounds ignorant talking about it years later. Back then people were easily duped and believed anything the Government told them. Oh my bad…………that still hasn’t changed. This dumbness started a wave of French Banning all over America. I’m just glad they didn’t get rid of women wearing French Maid Outfits (I do have a social life outside of blogging).

Oh what a difference 6 years and a Black President makes. The Republicans will try anything to get back into the game. Senator Lamar Alexander wants to follow in France’s footsteps and use nuclear power for energy. Sen. Alexander talked about renewable energy on this week’s Republican Weekly Radio and Internet Address (they have internet? why didn’t John McCain know about this during his campaign???). He said that we should build more nuclear plants rather than spending money on “subsidies” for renewable energy. The amount of power plants he wants to build: 100!!!!!!!

So it’s cheaper to build brand new power plants than install solar panels on existing homes? I liked it better when they were trying to change French Fries to Freedom Fries. At least that change was cheap and easy.
