Do the Republican leaders in the House and Senate care about this country..?
...Or the people?

Or do they simply play word games to keep the wealthy on top?

Do you believe they are serious in their beliefs? Or do they know differently but cannot tell the truth for fear of losing their power?

To me, they do not seem like serious people. It is one thing to deceive others but quite another to deceive yourself.

I think hell may hold a special place for these types of Republicans?

Obviously, they would say the same thing about the Democratic leadership but there is such a thing as a moral position.

If Republicans believe as they profess to believe, about taxes for the wealthy and their statements that signify nothing but greed, then they are not moral individuals...

Just my two cents today.

2. CARE? Empathy is an emotion they're incapable of.

3. They care only about themselves and power, as would Sociopaths.

For that is what they are.

7. They promote and protect the interests of those
who have bought and paid for them: the plutocrats. No one else.

9. Every time they promote the weakening of the federal government
they are bashing the United States, its people, and its form of government. Some of these jokers in Congress actually care more about their states than the nation as a whole. Some of these 10th amendment nuts on the ultra right wing actually hate the United States and would love the ability to goose step before the stars and bars.

10. The only job where you can do nothing..
and tell everyone on TV that you're doing nothing

and then not only do you do nothing but you stop the system from doing anything

and you still expect to get paid!!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!!!!!
