6. Exactly. If you belong to a certain group yourself,
and you see other members of it deliberately siding with and voting against their own interests, on the principle(!) that somehow they are looking out for themselves, it infuriates you even more, because you see them as traitors to your whole group.

As a woman, I think women Republicans and women who vote Republican are either crazy or need to look seriously at what Republicanism means for women. You are identifying with your captors, ladies! That whole "W is for Women" campaign was especially pathetic.

I can completely understand why Jews would be especially disgusted by Jewish Republicans who use Israel as their excuse. And why African Americans must feel like vomiting/laughing every time they see puppets like Michael Steele paraded before them--these guys are like the dictionary definition of "Uncle Tom." As for gays, I would think the whole concept of "Log Cabin Republicans" would make them ready to punch someone. It just makes no sense at all.
