Burning down the house

From a Zen Diesel over at The Daily Banter via another forum….

GOP: “Can I burn your house down?”

Dems: “No”

GOP: “How about just the second floor?”

Dems: “No.”

GOP: “Just your garage?”

Dems: “No.”

GOP: “Let’s discuss how much of the house we can burn down?”

Dems: “No.”

GOP: “I can’t believe you won’t negotiate with me!’
