Why do the Republicans HATE REASON, SANITY & COMPASSION...?
They also hate POSITIVITY...

For some odd reason they cling to NEGATIVITY

Is it the water...or drink?

The DNA...jus born that way?

Is there a cure for NEGATIVITY?

Understanding"? That was written because of the same people were making fun of people that dreamed of those thing...they've always been this way and always will. I think it's because they are bitter, jealous, hateful people...likely born that way...

The Onion ran a stupendously funny piece about "finding the genetic cause for Republicanism" a spoof of the whole "genetic cause of homosexuality" meme. I clipped and kept it for quite some time, but I haven't seen it in ages. I'll Google to see if its out there somewhere.

I loves the Google:

12. Good is Bad and Bad is Good
Anger, hatred, meanness, vindictiveness, greed, hypocrisy, judgmentalism, selfishness, etc, are all touted as strengths in GOP world. Ironically they tout all these negative things in the name of Jesus. All things good are to be avoided like the plague. Diversity, empathy, compassion, the common good, etc are considered evil in their world,

They are morally warped

18. Sane people won't vote for their own slavery and poverty
They like willfully ignorant religious fanatics.
They're too stupid to know what's being done to them.
And the preacher can be paid encouraged to
tell his sheeple how to vote.
