Why do so many never inquire as to how their local Congressman went to DC in debt, only to emerge 2 or 3 terms later with a net worth in the millions? This is precisely why the Republicans operate on the theory of "safe seats" and cooperate so enthusiastically with the Democrats. They have in effect, sold the party's right to govern for the chance to make themselves, their families, and their supporters wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice.
Boehner.
The GOP, the RNC, and the Republican Establishment in general, have given up on Constitutional government. They are operating on the theory that the Democrat Party is the default party in American politics and that all they can hope for is to hold onto gerrymandered Republican districts ... and at least a seat at the table at which the pirates divide up the swag.
They cynically (they would say, "realistically") believe that the advent of socialism and the end of the republican form of constitutional are both inevitable, so they might as well prepare themselves for it.
That, IMNSVHO, is RINO-World.
