Republicans ALWAYS play the victim/bully card
Everything victimizes them; popular Democratic presidents, majority rule when they're not in power, the corporate owned media that they actually serve (& vice versa), the organized labor that they hate, gays, women and minorities whom they try to repress, basic human decency of which they have no concept... and the Truth because they're hypocrites to the core.

Everything that's "out to get them" pushes them into a "corner" and they have to fight back... Sometimes they win and sometimes they lose. They lie, cheat and pull every underhanded stunt that they can. Why? Because they must win at all costs... They do, of course, represent the "Ruling Class", right?

When they win and are given an opportunity to redeem themselves, it becomes all too apparent why they were castigated and "victimized" in the first place... Their incompetence, bullying and malfeasance pushes suffering on us all until they're demoted again.

Once they're demoted again, that gives them all the impetus to go after their enemies in a repeat fashion.

Dealing with these people is like dealing with a giant yo-yo that keeps tangling its string, no matter how many times you try fix it.

1. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Even if I HAVE said it in similar fashion many times.

Kudos MrScorp!

2. Yep, they're really good at getting the people who benefit
MOST from the democratic programs to fight their battles for them, too.

3. That's why we have to get as much done as possible
Americans can be fickle, too forgiving and have a short memory. Dems need to strike while they have the authority.

4. Cons often utilize the most horrendous bullies-on-the-playground tactics...
The ones who start shit, and then react to what they create with ...

"Nu-uh!"

"No! YOU started it!"

"I know you are, but what am I?!"


Shit like that.

And when the outcome is unfavorable to them, they pout and come on w/the Drama, crying 'UNFAIR!'

And when the outcome is favorable (for them) they gloat & mock to the extent that you get the impression that's their sole aim and trophy.
