WE are a "representative" government-when we vote [in any rational scheme of things] we are voting for persons who will look out for the best economic interests of our selves and our family-we are voting for someone who has our back.....And unless your last name is Koch or Walton [a metaphor, here, for the 1%]-The Republican party does not have your back---they don't represent you-indeed, the Republican party, today, has their hand in your pocket.....to even further enrich the Koch brothers! Not only did you vote against your own kid's well being-you are a sucker to boot! And the Republicans are insufferable hypocrites....i.e., they have you chasing down blind alleys-in the name of "social values"-their policies undermine at every turn.....for instance, the House Republicans voted to cut $40 billion from Food Stamps [to gut the program] most of which goes to feed hungry children-children they demand women have, but are willing to starve to death, once born! One of our top journalists, who shall remain nameless, nailed it: "the Republican Party, has become an insurgent outlier - ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.".
