... a time when Republican politicians would put aside partisan differences in the face of a health and safety crisis that threatened everyone. Sadly, those days are gone. Now, the denizens of the Dark Side of the Aisle can't pass up another chance to be malicious and divisive, instead of standing together to overcome a common problem. What total assholes.
We can thank Pox News for inculcating such perverted thinking in those already too prone to preferring to do the wrong thing because doing the right thing might also benefit Liberals. And we can thank "Jellybean" Reagan for abolishing the Fairness Doctrine in broadcasting, and thereby allowing Rupert Murdoch and his pet troll, Roger Ailes, to infect America with the virulent disease that is Pox News. I'm sure Ailes is saving Murdoch a seat in the hottest pit of Hell.
