Hey, you get called a name undeservedly for long enough, there is a terrible temptation to live up to it.
Republicans have been calling not only Democrats, but liberals in general (even their own) corrupt thieves and minions of Satan. Well, hey, there are perks that go with those names, and we haven't gotten any of that action. Maybe it's time to start taking it.
And besides, why not let the Republicans have exactly what they want? What's wrong with that? They've been complaining long enough that they couldn't get anything done because of the corrupt liberal coastal elite.
So what's the problem?
