They are the only one looking at the future at all -- they only ones who have tried desperately to submit plans to save Medicare, the only ones with budgets, they only ones who know what the hell they are doing and the only hope we have to save this nation
That is how they play the game, which is a game where they make up the before the-election-rules so, obviously people will vote for them, then turn tail and make up another set of rules once in office. It is NOT rocket science.
Not all do, but for those that do, just look at their role models. Limbaugh makes $44,000,000 annually reinforcing their sense of blame and hate. Oh, and I've been in the GOP since the era when it was called "the party of reason".
Because both parties are asshats.
