28. After '40 years in the desert' the GOPers were hungry for power...
..but the difference between the parties is that the New Republican party is willing to do ANYTHING to get and stay in power. They have no intention of going back into the desert.

- Democrats haven't been out of power long enough to experience that same type of 'hunger'. They seem satisfied with playing politics as usual...disregarding how much the political landscape in America has changed.

- For instance...the New Republicans wouldn't hesitate to investigate, hold hearings or call for impeachment if a Dem president had done ANY of the things you mentioned in your post. They would do it without hesitation and call it their 'duty'.
