Why do you prefer to defend one over the other when you know it hurts you?
That is the question I pose to all those people voting Republican and aligning themselves with the Tea Party. It is unimaginable that anybody would tie the knot on the noose that will hang them…or willingly sharpen the guillotine that they know will be used to behead them.
These people keep voting Republican out of some visceral need to punish themselves…they know the truth deep down although they will vigorously fight you and tell you they are right and you are wrong. They also have “faith” but just like any one who is bamboozled into religion they will keep trying to find validation for their beliefs and acceptance of their religion.
I couldn’t have said it better than Andrew Tobias, financial advisor and author of a gay classic, The Best Little Boy in the World, among other things, who said this last month:
“So the Tea Party folks demonstrate to keep people from having health care, to lay off teachers and police and firefighters, bust unions, keep poor people from voting, and – most important – protect tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. Pretty neat trick how the billionaires more or less organized and financed their movement and, by harnessing their justifiable fears and concerns, gulled them into doing it. . . . Now come the “Occupiers,” or whatever they will be called, who share many of the same fears and concerns – and a few of the same bogeymen – but seem by and large to be taking the other side of these issues.
Maybe we should put construction workers back to work rebuilding our schools and bridges. Maybe we should pass the American Jobs Act “right away” to help the middle class. Maybe it should be paid for by Warren Buffett and other wealthy folks who are paying taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries. Maybe Paul Krugman knows more about economics – and has the average guy’s interest more sincerely at heart – than Sarah Palin.”
It is an enigma why folks who don’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of will defend the interests of the very wealthy.
