Why would people want to elect a bunch of crybaby Republicans to national office anyway?

They're all such tender dears whom seem to get their fee-fees hurt really easily when the President of the United States speaks the truth about their obstructionist behavior, doesn't pick up the phone and call them enough, doesn't invite them over the WH enough times a year, or somehow fails to (in their eyes) sufficiently worship them and their opinions (or even ask for them). How the hell can we possibly feel safe and secure as a country electing Republicans to run things, particularly at the national level, if they act like such delicate flowers whenever Democrats are in charge?

I think they elected a bunch of tough minded men who would make sure that every dime of tax money that is spent is spent properly.

What they got is a bunch of crybabies. I just hope they're paying enough attention to notice it. Usually they don't.

in which those who shout the loudest are correct, and if the conservatroids have become skillful at anything, it's shouting down their opposition.

but say one little truthful thing about their obvious immature behavior and they fly off the handle.

They are the definition of Sociopaths and should be committed, not leading the nation.

McCarthy and blacklist Jews in the 50's in the US ? Why did our congress allow Bush to unilaterally attack Iraq?
Why do the poor support legislature that strengthens the hands of their oppressors?

They all acted out of ignorance or popular mass opinion. They didn't use their common sense to access the situation and ferret out the best action.

They were acting on gut feelings or propaganda much as they are doing today. The very definition of fools.

Their stated goal is its destruction. NOT improving it. Destroying it.

They all ought to be up on charges of sedition or treason. Jeebus H. Christ.
