What we learned this week: The GOP is about corporate power
The Republicans are not in favor of a free market and they are not in favor of small government. They want to enhance corporate power.

If that means getting the government "out of the way," then that is what they will do.

If it means using the U.S. treasury as a big piggybank for Wall Street, then they will do that.

They will do whatever "works" when it comes to protecting the interests of a certain sector of society.

4. They are all about corporate power,
and about saying "Fuck you!" to everyone else.
Always have been.

5. When you've given up on the idea that your Country is more important than yourself
you get the last 28 Years.........

6. I thought that was pretty much the Republican Party platform since Nixon.
Money over country.
