Without doubt, the Republicans didn't earn the sobriquet "The Stupid Party" for nothing.
Why pro-lifers, pro-gunners, pro-right-to-workers continue under the delusion that the Republicans are ever going to do anything to their liking -- even when they have the Presidency and both houses of Congress -- is beyond my comprehension.
Republicans in office are so afraid of being given the B-1 Bob treatment they have all but forgotten who it was that put them there.
