Well, I'm here to tell you they do NOT believe in competition; far from it.  For instance, GOPers cheered while Shearson bought Lehman to acquire Hutton to be sliced and diced and merged into CitiGroup, which - of course - was "too big to fail" and got a TARP bail-out, courtesy o' that noted "free-marketeer", George orWell Bush.

And for just but one more example (and there are tons of 'em), I did't see any GOPers complaining while Clear Channel locally bought up radio stations across the local dial...

GOPers do NOT believe in "competion" - and Today's Example Of Republicans Believe In Competition (Except When They Don't) has to do with a post I posted last week, a post that I almost titled "Puttin' In The Fix".

In that post, I said:

Video, and more, later.

Well, today's later, and I got the video of Eden Prairie Mayor Phil Young and Council Members Jon Dusckstad and Brad Aho tryin' to do an end around and stick the taxpayers o' Eden Prairie with what I can only discribe as a D*ck (cheney)in' Cheney-esque "No-Bid Contract".

I watched the video a couple o' times, and The Tragic Trio sickened me.  Now, you can be sickened, too!  Let's look!!!

Hey, does anyone actually get the impression, after watching the shenanigans Young, Duckstad, and Aho were trying to pull, that there WASN'T a violation of Minnesota's "Open Meeting Law"?

I'm not suggesting The Tragic Trio "did" violate that law, but hey - those three sure look like they COULD have....

But, hey!  You have to remember, one o' The Tragic Trio is the guy some folk now know as "Phelonius Phil"....
