They are all over tv telling everyone that..they do it with sad faces, frowny faces, serious faces, straight faces.

Having said that, the next rule is that dems must go first... because dems always have to toe the line set in the sand by republicans... and once that toe is on the line, they must bend down to make sure it is on the line..

while their face is next to the line, the republicans laugh, kick sand in their faces & run away singing "Gotcha again, suckah"...

Media reports about how generous republicans are by offering such sage advice and comment on how dems are reluctantly stepping up to the line.. they are complaining about having sand or something in their eyes, so they are not at the line yet..
