They openly Brag about No compromise and the ONLY way is their way....They no longer even make a show of trying to Govern, they only want to RULE.....To Govern, it takes compromise and agreement on at least parts of the issues.. When you RULE, no one else matters at all. Only your way is the right way... Republicans have become so bold that they openly say that if they can't get their way at the ballot box they will get their way through the ammo box...And they have the gall to say it is all about Freedom.....
