Republican presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan, the living American who has served longest as a White House senior staff adviser, observed: “The Republican philosophy might be summarized thus: To hell with principle; what matters is power, and that we have it, and that they do not.” “Where the Right Went Wrong"
***
I am baffled that Buchanan and Boehner have daily opportunity to realize their political colleagues are totally unprincipled people, yet still manage to choke down the urge to upchuck.
How can a human being epitomize the bedrock impulse of his own party as subscribing to a philosophy that 'damns principle to hell' and still continue to collaborate with people whose only aspiration is the amoral (and immoral) acquisition of power?
It is one thing for naive Tea Bags to consider themselves the most principled people on earth.
It is quite another when the GOP's resident "wise man" thoughtfully concludes that his fellows have no moral compass at all.
