(2,529 posts)This is why I would never run for political office. I have to admit that except for the fact that my parents crossed the border illegally, my family is almost too goody-two-shoes to be believed. But, I can't extend that claim to me; hell, every family has that one member they wish they'd kept chained in the basement and I guess I'm the one in mine. But, politicians all seem to have so many skeletons in their closets and still get elected, especially by right-wingers. It isn't the case with many Democrats. Our politicians don't seem to be allowed to get away with very much. I think right-wingers only care if their leaders talk the talk. They like being inflamed. Sometimes, they don't even seem to mind if their politicians don't keep their promises on certain things because they can be blamed on liberals and get the masses even more riled up. I think if conservatives' biggest dream came true and they suddenly lived in the version of the Stepford utopia they envision, no minorities, everyone a one-mold Christian, no reproductive rights, guns sold at every candy store, etc., they'd be very unhappy people. Their lives are centered around their anger, fear and hatred. It's their opiate.
