When you are certain of the rightness of your cause it is difficult to accept the fact that you just don’t have the votes. An evil force is at work defeating what is good and right. We see that mind set in the minority of congressional Republicans willing to wreck havoc if they can’t get their way. Unable to find support within their own party, they throw a temper tantrum when the majority of Republicans looks elsewhere (in this case to Democrats) for the votes necessary to keep the government functioning.
