Mitt Romney Is Kinda Stupid

[Pat Mustard]

That's an evergreen question when it comes to the concerns of nuts.

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.

The difference between right wing and left wing politicians is that the left are mandated to work for the good of everybody while the right are mandated to either work for the good of the rich or maintain the status quo.

Yes, I know it doesn't always go that way, but it's easier to say fuck the poor when it's your party's raison d'étre.
