Because the GOP is going to cock-slap them until you stand the fuck up to them.
This link basically exhibits what makes me so inconsolably mad with the Republican Party. Not conservatives, mind you, but the Republican Party. For those of you schlubs who hate reading, I'll summarize: basically, the Republicans are against extending the tax reduction on the payroll tax. This tax essentially affects 46% of Americans, if the article is to be believed, who owe no income taxes but pay the paroll tax on every paycheck they earn.
Now, you'd think the GOP, with their whole "cut taxes" beef would be behind this all the way. But you would be forgetting that the GOP is essentially a band of lapdogs, henchmen, and cultists in the pocket of America's richest citizens *COUGH*Kochbrothers*COUGH*.
But that's not what disturbs me about this article. I'm well used to the GOP practically having to stifle their giggles as the trick America's uneducated and ignorant (whether willfully or not) into voting against their own interests. This feels to me like they're almost daring America to protest as the shove their crap down our throats.
After scuttling the S.S. Obamacare with a massive barrage of Lie-pedoes, I think they basically learned that they could manipulate their power base to vote almost exactly opposite of what will actually benefit them. They probably thought to themselves, "If I can get them to fight venomously FOR the very insurance companies that give it to them up the butt, what the hell else can I get them to do?" It's like they got their first Roomba, and are trying to see if they can make it fall down the stairs.
The GOP is essentially like a little kid who's bitched and whined and stomped his feet, bullying his parents until they buy him something expensive and unnecessary. And now, like he's discovered a new superpower, he's testing its strength and its limits.
Fortunately, there's a cure for when adults act like children. You treat them like children.
Not in a creepy way, though.
