Rand Paul and the Iron Fist of the Republican Party.

What’s at the heart of the Republican Party? You’ll find vengeance, authoritarianism, retaliation, punishment and getting even. I know it’s a little redundant, but I had to include each word, because that’s what tea party Republicans are all about.

   

I found this example from a few days back that pretty much makes my case:

Rand Paul wants Chief Justice Roberts, all federal workers, to enroll in Obamacare … he’s going to start pushing a constitutional amendment that goes even further.

“My amendment says basically that everybody including Justice Roberts — who seems to be such a fan of Obamacare — gets it too” … “And if he likes Obamacare so much, I’m going to give him an amendment that gives Obamacare to Justice Roberts.”

That’s not adult. That’s a tantrum.
