“GOP elders” don't have the stomach to fight. They play both ends against the middle hoping to appear concerned and conservative but never willing to risk their cushy little fiefdoms with all it's perks and privileges.

They LOVE being Mr(s) Senator and Mr(s) Congressperson.

They Love their vacations their salaries their INSDER TRADING, Their OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES, Their RETIREMENT BENEFITS.

They LOVE it ALL. And they HATE anyone who rocks the boat (Thank You Ted).

A most excellent post. And true to every word.

The denizens of DC quickly contract what’s often referred to as “Potomac Fever”. Once they get there, they never want to leave or do anything else. Life is good in DC.

The thought of having to return back home to the hinterlands from whence they came, and living the rest of their life doing normal work in annonymity, is the most frightening thing to them. They love DC and yes, HATE anyone who rocks the boat.
