CrispyQ you're exactly right. The GOPs are out of touch with reality. They live in their ivory towers and cobble together a version of the world that suits them and as long as they can stay shielded by their palatial mansions, Italian sports cars, luxury yachts and Prada they can continue to believe what they will. But it's not just the money-that'd be bad enough. They also presume to force their twisted, mutated strain of morality with its double standards, loopholes and exclusion clauses on the rest of us. When people like this encounter a good, hard dose of REALITY (not the fantasy construct world they secrete around themselves like a caddis fly's case) they cry 'et tu brutei!' and retreat behind a wall of lies, name calling, buck passing and character assasination. There was a member of my family who died recently (and she will be missed by few who truly knew her) who lived in the same form of false reference. The Goppers have the most incredible aptitude for self delusion I have ever known or cared not to.
