is because they define "winning" as "whatever pisses off Liberals".

Their world view owes much more to hatred of their enemies than it does to any particular philosophy of their own. This is why even if you happen to agree with them on something they feel the need to change their mind and contradict you. Obama proved that any policy previously favored (or even originated) by Conservatives would never get GOP approval if proposed by a Progressive. Remember how they contorted themselves mentally to show how Obamacare was REALLY not the same as Romneycare?

Its a zero-sum gamester mentality at work. They define "success" not as gaining somethiong, but as taking something away from someone else.
