Mitt Romney Is Kinda Stupid

[Rev. Rye]

I think it goes back to what Boru said in the OP: “Doing things that make your constituents lives better isn’t a bribe. It is - literally - your fucking job.” The more I look at politics, the more convinced I become that not only does the right (especially in America) reject that premise, but that rejection is the defining characteristic; everything else follows from that. If anything they do benefits anyone besides themselves, plutocrats, the police/military/anyone who makes their living with firearms, and maybe hate groups, it's almost certainly by accident.

Some people think everyone is an island and don't see the bigger picture 

And some people are, frankly, psychopaths. The sort of people who balk at ideas like loan forgiveness or people not having the right to force their children to breathe in toxic gases.
