Those Fs being:
Families,
Friends and
Financiers.
Teapublicans only care about their own little groupings. They regard the rest of us with indifference at best, or malevolent disdain at worst. GOPee Senator Rob Portman exemplifies this characteristic: he only started supporting gay rights after he found out his son was gay.
Before that, Portman hated him some gays, oh yes, he did. And Portman still hates the poor, women who have sex, and pretty much everyone else except for himself and his 1%, Teapublican Friends, Family and Financiers. It was only when the issue harmed one of his own Family members that he saw the light.
Its not just Portman, of course:
* Mike Huckabee hates criminals and wants them all to burn in hell for eternity, except for his own son and admitted child-molester Josh Duggar. Them, he wants to get a pass. Because they are in his immediate Family/Friends.
* Rand Paul, who deplores government interference in our private lives when its the NSA tapping his Familys phones, but loves the government telling women what to do with their reproductive organs.
* Teapubbies who hate Obamacare until they or their Families get sick.
* Anti-Government Teabaggers who want the same Government they hate to help them out if they fall on hard times.
* Small Government Republicans who want Big Government to pay their Defense Contractor Friends. Or Oil Business Friends. Or Bribing Bastard Friends.
And so on. All these effing Fs. Republicans care only about their own personal Friends, Families, and Financiers. Not the citizens, not the taxpayers, not the voters. Only their own little cliques of Fs.
Once you understand that, youll understand why Repubs constantly act against the interests of their constituencies. And then youll understand why you need to vote them the F out of office.

and therefore you can't say they are selfish. They will claim to give a home to the homeless. But you can bet it was a friend or family member down on their luck. But that won't be because the person did work hard enough, etc.

Then their charitable giving benefits them directly.

everything is OK if you are in the club, but woe to you if you aren't in the circle.
