Republican hidden agenda revealed

Krugman makes several points in his Op-ed piece (Times Select). But one is a restating of the scapegoating theme I've mentioned before on this blog. Essentially, the Republicans get re-elected making a big stink about terrorist threats, gays, and God. Once elected they go to work trying to make the rich richer by cutting income taxes, estate taxes, capital gains taxes and getting rid of liberal policies: safety nets for the poor and old, and handing money to cronies in big business in the form of removing environmental regulations and starting wars. If people really cared about Christianity and God, what ever happened to helping your fellow man. How can we start wars, killing many innocents and our soldiers -- none of them children of members of Congress and most of them from poor backgrounds -- for trumped up reasons? Perhaps deep down, the Republicans are two faced hypocrites? They really don't believe in God and Christianity like me, but just put up a fake storefront to enrich themselves. I'm not an expert, but seems we have a few big sinners in office.
