Some would come for each of them. Some wouldn't come for any of them. Some will come because they grow tired of the hate in their heart.

..............that the ONLY time you'll ever get a Republican to STOP waving pom-poms at everything the Republican Party does is when the ill effects of those policies adversely affect THEM personally. They all love guns until someone in their family gets shot. They all hate gays until it turns out one of their children is gay (Rob Portman). They all hate abortions until their mistresses get pregnant. And they all happily vote against their own self-interests and then can't understand why their lives aren't any better.

The frustration is...........WHY do we have to sit around and wait for EVERY ONE of these short-sighted assholes to get bit in the ass by the policies they support? Why are they SO incapable of walking in ANYONE else's shoes? It's like I've been saying for years: Republicans simply can't imagine the life of someone who isn't them. They simply assume EVERYONE grew up the way they did and had all the same advantages and opportunities they did, etc.
