House Repubs admit it: all they care about is seizing total control of the country.

Remember Bitchy Mitchy and his "number one priority is making Barack Obama a one-term President"? Now it's Pete Sessions and “Everything we do in this body should be about messaging to win back the Senate". Fuck the people, all the Repubes want is personal power and wealth.

A righteous rant and source material at the link.

In both cases, it's just how politicians with vested interests in the outcome view the world

Democracy is completely screwed if it's based on voter's faith in vacuous assertions of politicians that they will back our concerns IF the votes are there.

Voter suppression and gerrymandering are their tools. They have no ideas how to fix things and no desireto make things better. They simply want the political power to control the status quo for the economic benefit of the few very well off.
