Glad you're here. Go figure. It does make one wonder - WHY do they stay in, since so much of what their party does is anathema to what they discover that they REALLY want and need when the chips are down.

WHY do you stay, peter? You've seen what's in it for you. WHY do you stay, chris christie? WHY do you stay, jon huntsman? WHY??? Your party doesn't make sense anymore. It's about selfish and stingey and mean-spirited and willfully ignorant bullies and cheapskates. And it's THOROUGHLY and HORRIFYINGLY un-Christian! Would true Christians trying to follow the teachings of Christ turn their backs on you Hurricane Sandy victims, because they'd rather look at the price tags than at the human suffering and need? They'd rather make a "stand," based on the most sinfully selfish and myopic agenda that's ever been conceived? And you still feel you need to belong there? And that you have a home there?

ICK! Well, then, if so (and it certainly seems so), then maybe you deserve what you get. Unfortunately, your constituents who've lost everything in the storm do not. Too bad the impact of that heartless shit can't be confined to just you. They have to live with, and cope with, the results of YOUR PARTY'S SELFISH ASSHOLE-ISM. Its Asshole Agenda.

that's because it wasn't for war or rich people Skittles Jan 2013 #1
