Affect them personally they go along with their party. If republicans had relatives, kids, themselves on Medicaid they would care. But most won't, they listen to the way Fox and other media spin it and are ok so long as they don't lose their money or job or healthcare.

I haven't watched Fox at all but I would be willing to bet they talk about the tax credit for seniors, how much money we are saving by the cuts and not mentioning the trillions we will owe. They probably lie and say the illegals were stealing jobs and healthcare.
