seeing Republicans portrayed as being evil?

There are alot of reasons that I am not happy with the workings of my own party, but none of them bear even the slightest resemblance to the characterization portrayed on TV.

It is unintentionally hilarious...in much the same way "Reefer Madness" was.

"Reefer Madness" excited the enthusiasm and curiosity of the very people it was supposed to terrify.

It is the conservatives who are the staunch backers of a policy that has liberated millions of women frm Taliban rule, but the show has Donald Sutherland uncaring of the Nigerian womans plight in the pilot episode, with Geena Davis using military power to have her released.

In trying to portray the "evil" Republicans on the show, they are revealing who they are. Maybe I just have a perverse sense of humor, but I do find myself laughing at this drama and wondered if there were other's like me who were watching for reasons other than what the creators intended.

I accept in this case because the DEms dont come off good either and they are shown to be ineffectual and powerless. The Republicans are the only ones that are perceievd to have any power. No one can imagine the Dems in control any more.

Besides if you had watched the silly show you would know that the Gina Davis character is an independent who ran on the Republican ticket and served as VP in a Republican administration for several years so apparently they cant all be bad but Sutherland is deliciously evil. And there is a lot of hardball taking place.
