The Republicans are addicted to looniness, power-grabbing, sabotaging government.

Sometimes you need to hit rock-bottom before you realize that you need to change and improve.

If someone always steps in to protect you from the consequences of your actions, you will never have the motivation to change.

Democrats are tired of cleaning up Republican messes, and they should be. It is disgusting.
