Subject: Re: Democrat Surrender Monkeys

What Angus didn't explain is WHY the Democrats seemed to believe that the Republicans wouldn't stick to their guns. He didn't explain it because any explanation would not revolve around Republican thinking (i.e. it's a matter of principle),

I saw an interview with King. Don't know if it's the same one you saw. What the Dems missed, in their thinking the mob would force the GOP to cave, was they don't understand the "JC" mindset, and the GOP is run by "JCs". Proles are expendable meat. The GOP doesn't care if Proles have health insurance. The GOP doesn't care if Proles are hungry. To them, a Prole's value is only the work and money that "JCs" can extract from them. If the Proles are sick, or poor, they are useless to the "JCs".

I have told the story before of the guy the pump seal company brought into the department, to replace me. A few years later, Dave developed cancer. Of course, his medical insurance was tied to working for that company. He could not afford his treatment without the insurance. The company would take the insurance away if he stopped working. So he had to keep dragging himself into the office to work, up to within a few days of his death, because the company only cared about extracting work from him.
