That's kind of their place as a party. I had this exact discussion with someone yesterday and yeah, it was made pretty clear that Republicans are terrible. If a democrat tried to do any of the pomegranate republicans get away with they would be burned at the stake. But they wouldn't because democrats are founded in logic and morality while republicans make unsubstantiated claims and somehow the general public just loves it. I do not understand.
This is also why Obama couldn't win in the financial debate a few weeks ago. Unlike the republicans--and the tea baggers, especially--he cares about the country and had no choice but to back down. While he was willing to push it, there's no way he would've let the country go into financial ruin just to prove a point. The republicans absolutely would have because they DON'T care.
