And, they are planning on doing so under the cover of night with no public discussion because they are of the opinion that their constituencies are too stupid to figure it out.
These are the facts.

And who can blame 'em, when their constituencies keep proving, over and over again, that they
are that gullible. They do what they're told. If they're told to hate something, they hate it with a fury. If they're told something's good, they'll defend it no matter how much it's hurting them.
Republicans keep doing this horrible stuff because they're never accountable for it. They know they'll get away with it because their voters are trained like dancing spaniels. It's like I keep screamin', just look at the South. There is no sane reason people would keep electing the party that keeps them at the bottom of the nation, year after year after year, if they weren't solidly brainwashed by "team sports."
They know their audience are authoritarian-junkies and take full advantage of it. It's almost fun for them to see what the rubes will let them get away with, just out of contempt. They have no reason to want to do any better for these people, because it won't change the reaction they get, anyway -- the people will like what they're told to like, and if it's crappy, they'll vote for it anyway, just to "piss off the libtards." They operate on
belief, and facts won't get in the way of what they've decided to think.
No matter what happens to these voters, they'll find some way to blame it on Democrats, because that's what FOX and Hannity/Rush/Levin will tell them to do.
