Just sayin'

Maybe it's just because of the election followed by Hostess and Walmart, the Michigan legislature's rush to do every possible bad thing in 4 weeks before they're booted out, the tax/debt standoff and now yet another school tragedy, but I've never been more aware of how today's Republican party has taken the stance of, "What position should we take on this? What would the worst person, the most evil, selfish a--hole I know say about it?"

From what springs all the anger, resentment, lack of empathy and vindictiveness? How bad can their lives really be? Because this is not principled conservative thinking. It seems like barely thinking at all. I've generally leaned liberal, but not always and not on every issue. But now it's really hard to continue seeing these people as opponents and not see them as out and out enemies. I can't be the only one thinking this, am I?

You are not alone -- When the purpose of getting to power is not to serve the greater good for all but becomes remaining in power as you only goal and purpose you have become power corrupted and should be overthrown.
