it's hard to imagine that they are THAT lazy, uninformed, and distracted. Yes, they habitually vote against what is in their best interest, but this debt ceiling debate demonstrates how profoundly duped they are. Why are these folks not rising en masse to demand that taxes be raised on the wealthy in order to spare even greater cuts to the medicare and social security programs that they count upon for survival? How does the odious Eric Cantor and his band of thieves get away with it? Is this a case of the Stockholm Syndrome on a grand scale? Is it a case of filtering all of their information through Fox News and conservative talk radio? It's truly mind- boggling.
