13. This is sad. They don't seem to care. Some even seem more attuned to Russia.

They don't even seem to pretend to care. There is a plantation mentality run amok in the Republican Party.

They want a strongman who will let them exploit others nd tell them it is god's will. The degeneration of the Republican Party is one of the sad realities of the last 50 years. Nixon's curse upon them for impeachment?

The civil rights movement drove the Dixiecrat racists out of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party put out the welcome mat.

Until Reagan the party had some redeeming characteristics but it has been all downhill since.

The Ayn Rand worshippers are legion. Her books are basically romance novels for adolescent boys. Tillerson, Ryan, Paul, and I don't know how many others were all fans.

Chaffetz and Nunes are are like mad crazed dogs gnawing on the imaginary scandal-bones of their "enemies."

The ayatollahs, the the bullies, the opportunists, the know-nothings, they hypocrites, the knowledge-haters, the pompous asses,,,,,,......

The few who seem sane , ethical or moral-well I have to wonder why they continue to associate themselves.
