Republicans are assholes, and I say it with utmost respect.
When I was in fifth grade, I learned that the word ass is also a synonym for donkey and therefore the Democrats have an ass as their symbol. During the 2008 election, I heard Republicans position themselves as the heart/center of America, the working part of America, and what the Democrats are not. So, I was thinking... if the Democrats are the ass, the Republicans must be the asshole. Again, I say it with the utmost respect. And I believe the ass/asshole analogy can describe the two parties very well.
The Democrats and their big government programs are the ass. The ass is useful because it offers a lot of support. When you injure your leg or are tired from old age, you're thankful for the relief the ass offers. The problem is that a bigger ass isn't necessarily a better ass (except if you're black or Latino. Blacks and Latinos love big asses, even when it's too big by a white man's standards). But if you sit on your ass all day, your ass is going to get bigger. The ass doesn't care though, the Democratic party doesn't care. It just wants to get bigger.
The Republican party on the other hand recognize that government should only be sufficiently large to function, but no larger. They really do represent a functioning part of America, even though some people cringe when they see them. They want the Democratic party to occupy less space, which would mean a smaller ass. The problem is that the Republican party tries to achieve this by making themselves larger. And by our analogy, if the Republican party is large, you know you've just been f***ed or a lot of sh** is about to be passed.
But we cannot end this discussion without talking about the Libertarian party. I guess they would be the hair surround the hole. They're there to protect you. Some people see them as an extension of the asshole, maybe even confusing them as part of the asshole, but in reality they serve a very different purpose. The Republicans need them, but they also get pushed aside when they get in the way of the sh** that the Republicans are trying to pass.
American politics is pretty grotesque.
