The "Sit on Your Ass" Congress

It seems to me that the "Tea Party" morons in Congress have failed to understand exactly why they were elected. Apparently they think their mission from God is not to do anything at all, & thus assure that President Obama doesn't get credit for any legislation that could actually help the American people dig out of the mess that the Republicans created in the first place. God forbid that anything they do might even inadverdently help the President, whom they hate with an almost pathological fervor, beyond all reason. It's really, really hard not to think that racism is a huge part of this hatred, because otherwise their behavior makes no sense at all. They also seem to detest everything to do with government, so it's rather puzzling why they would want to be actually in it. The opposite of government is chaos, but they act as if they don't understand this, & that just may be the real problem. Lack of intelligence hasn't ever stopped anyone from running for office, but these yahoos have taken that to a whole new level. They seem to have no knowledge of history, & certainly aren't interested in learning anything that doesn't fit in with their odd, ass-backwards view of the world. Facts just seem to get in their way, especially if they contradict their weird, moronic beliefs. I've followed politics all of my adult life (& used to work in that area for years when I was younger), & I've certainly never seen anything like this, ever.
