@jespah,
The republican party has more cowards and yes men than has been seen in Washington in a hundred years. Heel Spurs used his mob skills to turn them into sheep. In first term there were a few that stood up to him. After he destroyed their political career, the rest just rolled over and played dead. When it came down to choosing between their political career and being a yes man, it was not a contest. When the mob moved into town, they would kill a few businessmen, and the rest would knuckle under. Heel Spurs learned politics from some of the best. Instead of killing people he kills political careers it is just as effective.
