re: #49 HappyWarrior

It’s something I’ve never understood about die hard TP voters. Why on earth would you want someone representing you whose whole schitick is being against pretty much everything. It’s like how they nominate people who hate government. I don’t need a government cheerleader in there but I want someone representing me who not only understands how the government works but respects it too.

They start from the belief that Government CAN’T work, therefore there’s no point in trying to make it work, and any attempt to use the power of government to make people’s lives better only perpetuates the (to them) mistaken belief that Government can have a positive effect.

That is, unless they want to use it to prevent people they don’t like doing things of which they don’t approve. Then it’s all “Rule of Law!!”
