6. The GOP care only about themselves, their immediate family and friends

It's GOP-think to refuse to budge on hurtful laws and practices unless and until they affect one of their own, or themselves And when it does affect one of their own, they may change the law or practice, but only for their own.

Thus, abortion is evil, horrible, sinful, shameful, unless it's your daughter -- or, worse, it's your girl friend and you don't want your wife to find out.

Thus, also, for example, even though the marijuana laws in New Jersey were stringent at the time, and a new (Republican) Governor promised to make them even more stringent because of the destruction to morals and civilization, blah, blah, blah. But then his own son was busted for possession -- and suddenly he reversed himself out of a tender heart and merciful forgiveness and Christ etc.

And, of course, thus Ayn Rand, herself, gladly embraced coverage under Medicare in her dotage.

It's hypocrisy so sickening that only a Republican could stomach it.
