Republicons hate this country
they represent the interest and desires of multinational corporations and billionaires
they all sign pledges to Grove Norquist and that guys ideal situation would be to destroy our government (in his words to "drown it in a bathtub")
Rich people and multination corporations don't want or need anything from the governmetn except lax or no regulations and low or zero taxes
It also doesn't help that the leaders of the Republican and Tea Bag Republicans (McConnell, Boner, Cantor, Bachman) are a bunch of morons
