But you also have to add money to the equation because for Republics, money denotes power. They have no moral compass. All they care about is themselves and what they can do to make themselves more money and gain more power. They think "I got mine now piss on the rest of you". The good news is that the American public is waking up and seeing the Republics for who they really are. I know several people who were once Republics. I am not sure what they are now, but they sure don't admit to being a Republic any longer. A couple have told me how ashamed they are of what their party has become. I suspect there are many more like my acquaintances out there. “I’ve not decided if it means that they really, truly believe in the rightness of their cause or that they want power and will do whatever it takes.
