9. Clever Mr. Corn, but that only works if you have a conscience.

Shame only works when there is a sense of right and wrong. I know, I felt it when my parents used it on me. I knew they were right, even though I didn't want to acknowledge it. They taught me about what as appropriate and not appropriate.


Republicans have been losing that sense for going on 50 years now. They have a whole media universe where they never have to hear actual facts. They have built districts that reward the most extreme behaviors. They either don't hear, don't know, or don't care about the irony of their position back in the 90's and today's scandals which are 1000 times worse.
