Adaptable Republicans

-
The Republicans have really amazed me recently. I always thought of them as being conservative and somewhat reluctant to jump onto the latest fad. Slowly deliberating over the most reasonable and responsible solution to a problem.

In the span of just a few weeks they have thrown away their most deeply held beliefs about capitalism, Adam Smith’s invisible hand, and the trickle down effects of market economics. They have embraced socialism and government ownership of businesses. Nationalization of the big financial institutions.

Of course they still oppose any government relief at all for the poor or for working/middle class folks. Or any form of government regulation.

Maybe they are actually just greedy, horrible, hateful people who in private say things like, “Screw the poor. They are all just stupid and lazy. Mostly illegal immigrants, rag heads, and blacks.”

Yes, they like socialism for the wealthy. They are happy to hold their hands out. Tax cuts for the wealthy, tax increases for the middle class. Not a bad deal if you are one of them and don’t give a damn about your fellow man.

These people are disgusting.
