Think about this.
Locally, on the state level, and on the national level, what do Republican government representatives get us?
Let me give you some very recent examples. We have to look no farther than neighbor Kansas for some real beauties, to start.
In 2012, very Right Wing, "conservative" and Republican Governor Sam Brownback and his Republican Party statehouse members slashed taxes for the state for the already-wealthy and corporations. The results are now famous and disastrous.
The GOP Tried Trump-Style Tax Cuts
in Kansas. What a Mess
Kansas' tax cuts are a spectacular failure
Kansas's ravaged economy a cautionary tale

surrounding states
Kansas Confronts Yet Another Budget Crisis

by fourth-most in nation
S&P drops Kansas credit rating,
citing lack of cash reserves
S&P revises Kansas rating outlook
to negative on budget pressures
I could post yet more but it would be overkill.
Then there's what the current Republican President and his Republican Party allies recently, infamously did in Congress with their very similar tax cuts for the, again, already-wealthy and corporations.

and wealthy
Tax bill: Ample tax cuts for business,
wealthy in new GOP tax plan
Senate tax bill would cut taxes of wealthy and increase taxes on
families earning less than $75,000 by 2027And here is what this tax plan will do.
Why the GOP Tax Bill Will
Make Wealth Inequality Worse
Why stop there? Why not also effect people's health insurance and health care?

boost uninsured by 32 million
And this. Keep in mind, this is from the people who are supposed to be crazy about our national debt.
Under Dynamic Scoring, House Tax Bill
Still Explodes the Debt
Senate Tax Bill Will Add $1.4467 Trillion
to Deficit, CBO Says
The Republican Tax Plan Would Add
$1.7 Trillion to Federal Deficits
1.4467 trillion, 1.7 trillion. Let's not quibble.
So that's what they do to us, we citizens, by state and nationally. Now, this is who they are personally.

Those are just two of the many I could post. That's enough. It shows who and what he is.
Then there are these guys, these also Republicans.
Remember Mr. "Wide Stance", back in 2007? Senator Larry Craig?
Sen. Craig arrested in "lewd conduct incident"

More recently, there's this guy--

That wasn't bad enough, the guy not only did this but was into sex trafficking, to boot.

to child sex trafficking

Then there's this one, from Ohio.
Anti-LGBT politician resigns
after being 'caught having sex with man
Now, lately, recently, here on the Missouri, state level, we just had this little revelation from our new gonzo Governor Greitens.
Blackmail alleged as Governor Greitens
admits to extramarital affair
I love this headline, true as it is.
'Family Values' GOP Missouri Governor
Cheated On Wife
Not only did he have an affair, which he admitted to, he's accused of trying to blackmail her--with pictures, I understand--to keep her quiet.
Wow.
That is one heckuva list, folks. And that's only a portion of what they do and who they show they are and repeatedly.
So between what they do to us all and who they seem to repeatedly show themselves to be, I have to ask America....
Why do we elect these people?
