The republicans, on the other hand, are less about the compassion for one another, and more about the compassion for themselves.
They possess a radically different vulnerability than the democrats, and that is their inbuilt ability to trust what sounds good to them.
As long as your message comes off sincere, honest sounding, and with enough fluff to make it interesting, these braindead retards will buy into and clap for whatever you say.

Except the 'braindead retards' came up with a plan that will improve things and may very possibly lead to lower costs to the government. Their plan wasn't even a 'Karl Marx' style government run single payer system. It just sets up some basic regulations over the private health insurance companies.
The Republicans came up with a half-ass attempt and no plan that would actually work. Then Sean Hannity said yesterday that "they (republicans) could have fixed health insurance if they wanted to." But, for some reason when they controlled the congress and Presidency, it didn't come up. Things like Health Savings Accounts (with horrible interest rates even when they were high), and high deductibles did nothing for people who were worried about losing coverage, not being able to afford it, or worried about paying for COBRA if they lost their job. Their plan was basically, if you are rich or from a well off family, then you can use your money to pay for the best care, if you don't have coverage then you aren't worth our time.
