(6,151 posts)I don't believe that's the main stick in their craw. It wouldn't matter if a Democratic president were albino; the GOP has been on a greed-maddened mission of destruction ever since FDR at least. If they truly loved this country as they falsely claim, they would have more faith in We the People to live in peace, harmony, security and plenty. As it is, they worship ONLY $ and power, so anyone not under their boot heel presents a danger to them. They're terrified if they don't grab everything in sight, someone will take away some (or all!) of what they do have. In other words, they're souless, craven cowards.
If they've read any history at all, they have now caused enough destruction to earn the devastating end that history will eventually grant them. As for me, I say it can't come a moment too soon. They're the most contemptible bunch of wretches to darken the sun in ages.
