Why? Because those turds like playing the VICTIM!! They love to paint themselves as aggrieved and put-upon...like people are supposed to feel sorry for those fat cats!! It's how they rally their base--they paint themselves as a put-upon minority, fighting "powerful forces of evil" -- sort of like a bad superhero comic!

Waaah--the liberals are being MEAN to me! There's a WAR on CHRISTMAS!! They won't LET a 'businessman' run his business with all their stupid demands that workers be allowed a modicum of healthcare!! They're taking away my RELIGION with all these gay people MARRYING! Oh, the Huge Manatee!!!

I mean, really--cue the violins! Bonehead has the tears and hanky routine down to a science! Those bullying Dems, doncha know!!!
