Where do the Republicans get the courage to do such insanely stupid acts??

[kentuck]

Not only did they vote against taxcuts for 97% of Americans, they voted to raise their taxes. Insane is a good descriptive word.

Why do they do such crazy deeds?

Because they are confident they can get away with it. Because they feel the media will defend them as they always do. There is nothing the media will not help them spin, they believe.

It's time to get out all their fake polls and put the talking heads to work. Before long, they may convince us all that a majority of Americans support tax cuts for billionaires and less healthcare for our families.

We should take the truth and wave it over their heads like a 12 foot sword of blinding light...

1. The blinding light I'd like to see over Republican heads is

measured in kilotons and megatons, not feet.

2. Courage? Don't you mean money?

3. Because they're acting from an ideology, not from what's good for the country

They call it "sticking to principles" but actually it's sticking to an ideology that's lost its principles.

4. They spend a lot of time online reading the posts of , well, you know.

And they have the idea that the whole party is coming apart and in discord. They think they have no opposition.

5. prepare to duck

But they get it from the same source that makes their spiritual kin fly planes into buildings, it is the place where religion and politics meet.

6. just doing their usual, playing a bad cop.

7. you are confusing courage with brazen narcissistic greed.

Fact is they don't give a rats ass about anyone but themselves. They're not brave or courageous, just plain greedy. Lazy bastards!

8. Who is "we"?

When was the last time you saw a strong Democrat on one of the talk shows arguing for Democratic positions. I am not talking about Rachel or Keith, but Shows like the Today Show or Meet the Press. All I ever see are "Democrats" like Harold Ford or some such, and they pretty much agree with most Republican positions.."We" have no representation on the air waves so "we" can not get our message out.
