You don't get it because you hate the Republicans so much you're simply assuming they're as bad as the Democrats. They're not. If they were, we'd already have universal healthcare paid by the government for all. We'd already have totally government funded campaigns. The Electoral college would already be gone. We'd already have a repeal of the second amendment. We'd already be subserviant to a world court, a world army and a world tax. The UN would be much further entrenched than it already is. We'd already have signed on to the Kyoto treaty. You hate the Republicans so much that you fail to realize that they are the only thing standing between you and a complete Democrat liberal socialist utopia.
I don't "hate" republicans. I'd love nothing more than to have a GOP that actually stood for something.
I thought at one time that might actually be possible.
But people like you with your "I'll pay any price for control" mentality, make it increasingly difficult to believe that the GOP will ever be anything more than a slightly-less-socialist alternative to the democrats.
By excusing every failing, and telling them over and over and over that anything they do is OK provided it helps them stay in power, principle is lost to pragmatism.
And even that could be lived with if the pragamatic goals were liberty and rights.
But by your own admission, they aren't.
The goal is power. What's to be done with that power is of minimal concern by your own admission.
Read your own words on this thread.
They're an eye-opener.
