Republicans Are a Cancer. Democrats Are The Grim Reaper.

This is not a distinction without a difference. It is a significant difference that matters greatly to the nation and its citizens.

My uncle was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in the 1990s. An Army veteran, he was a black belt in karate and was in good shape all of his life. When the diagnosis came, he was taken aback because pancreatic cancer is one of the worst cancers you can have. Typically, by the time a diagnosis is made, the end is quite close.

Against all odds, my uncle fought against it for almost twenty years. To put that in perspective, the average length of time one survives after diagnosis is counted in months, and 83% die within five years. My uncle was a very fortunate man, in more ways than one. Sixty-five was too young, but his life was materially different than it would have been had it ended at forty-five.

The reality is, cancer is something one can, both theoretically and actually, survive. That is in stark contrast to something one cannot survive...death.

That contrast matters, whether in life or politics...

And it matters now. Why? Because one of our parties is a cancer, and the other is death.

The Republicans are the cancer. They have refused to pass the SAVE America Act or rein in a rogue judiciary. They have indicted exactly zero people for the theft of the 2020 election, for the Russian Collusion hoax, for the COVID travesty, for ActBlue illegally funneling billions into Democrat coffers, or for the persecution of the J6ers, all the while spending like drunken sailors. And their greatest failure is not nuking the filibuster, something that will have a half-life of about one millisecond once the Democrats need it gone.

A party that puts that traitor John Thune in a leadership position deserves nothing but scorn. Congressional Republicans are basically a cancer that will kill the Republic slowly.

But they are infinitely better than the........
