In reply to the discussion: Why are Republicans always such dicks? [View all]barbtries
(28,789 posts)50. as a nation we are sick.
republicans represent the worst of this illness. i do not know if there's a cure. i don't know how people grow up to be so bereft of decency and caring, at the same time they are ambitious, energetic, clever and boundlessly greedy. and yes breathtakingly hypocritical. and liars. omigawd do they lie.
