18. It's All About Power...
They voted for those bills cause they got a payoff...money thrown at them by their lobbyist puppetmasters and perks from the totally corrupt booosh regime. From 2001-09 we lived in a kleptocracy where power was absolute and the corruption was even more absolute. Their stupidity, greed and intolerance was the major cause they fell from power between 2006 and today...they just couldn't resist pillaging every aspect of the federal government they could leaving this administration a massive clean-up mess that they're now cynically playing to regain the power they lost.

The tactic of obstruction has been a GOOP hallmark for the past three decades that is designed to make Democrats appear inept by gumming up as much of the beneficial side of the government, then running around and screaming how "big government doesn't work". They have created their own lexicon and talking points that mask their true racism and greed but it's never far from the surface.

I've long thought that those who are addicted to money and power suffer from low self esteem and thus become selfish and greedy to compensate for their lack of compassion. Sadly we see there's a large segment of this country's populace that agree with them...

Cheers...
