The outrage conservatives are screaming about over the stimulus, anyone else shocked?

We all knew they're assholes, but the outrage they're displaying over the stimulus bills just shocks me completely. How can a group of people just be so completely, utterly sociopathic to the extreme? Conservatives would really rather see people suffer in poverty and die instead.

So the mob bosses have to bring the rivals down any way possible.

The GOP are sociopaths and a criminal enterprise.

I just keep thinking that if we figure it out we can help them. Nah, some people just can't be helped. I just feel sorry for them being so angry all the time. Wouldn't be the way I'd want to go through life. But choices, ya know...
