They don't even PRETEND to care, as politicos will when they at least see an interest in so doing.

That means that even the best of the Repubes cannot see how they are connected with the victims of the Newtown Massacre, even if the connection is a self-serving one.

And when those elected "representatives" are so completely disconnected from us, that tells us that they aren't a part of us anymore.
