4. They don't govern. Their style is closer to ruling. And they don't have
a majority large enough to do that right now. Not like they had under Bush & Cheney.

5. They don't care about governing. They just like the perks of power.
They're all abouttax cuts, media sound bites, and culture wars. They got their tax cuts already. They're always doing sound bites and if their party doesn't faux will. They're currently passing these stupid bills to allow people to kill abortion doctors so I guess that's a check on the culture wars. They really have nothing left to do on their agenda. Jobs? They never really cared about those. When they said, "where are the jobs?" they meant their own in Washington.

11. They don't care if it is hard or not because governing is not on their top 100 million
things to do list.

They like power, perks, funneling resources to their and furthering their ideology but could give a shit about most people.
