This shows the great philosophical divide between Democrats and Republicans, and why Democrats so consistently fail.

A simple question: When you are elected to a political office, is your purpose to manage that office efficiently, or to change every element of it?

Leftists and idealists cannot get it through their head that the purpose of a job is to do that job, not to change it, create a new job, or destroy the old one.

A good analogy would be if a someone was hired to be a french fry cook at a hamburger joint. A Republican would cook the french fries, and they would always be fresh, salted and ready to serve to customers. But a Democrat would try to do everything *but* cook french fries.

He would interfere with the guy cooking hamburgers. He would harass the cashiers. He would try to unionize the workers. He would complain to the Health Department that the floors were greasy. And when chastised for doing these things, he would feel bitter burning hate and resentment at the manager who wanted him to fry french fries.

And most of all, he would never, ever, fry french fries, because that was “boring”. He would try to break the machine, foul the cooking oil, pull the plug on the refrigerator to spoil the food, and blame everyone else for doing these things. And he would constantly nag his boss to give him a raise and a promotion.

Great analogy! But the similarity ends there.

In the real world, the saboteur would never get a job in another hamburger joint.

In the political world, he would automatically be given the job 1, 2 or 3 election cycles later as soon as the manager got tired of the boring but competent fry cook.
