Why Do Republican Voters Hate Our Politicians?

Scott McKay, The American Spectator

In a third-world country, the standards are pretty low. But Republicans, or at least voters,

have higher standards. We actually want a first-world country to live in. That’s harder, and it requires a lot better leadership than the third world does. And so when we vote for somebody based on a set of promises they make, or when we rely on them publicly giving their word about something, we recognize that breaking that word really, really doesn’t work. It’s the worst thing you can do as a Republican politician, lying to your supporters.
