Are Republicans Stupid or Evil?

I'm guessing evil, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and just go with stupid or grand standing.    The latest Republican geniuses would like to pass a balanced budget amendment.  For years, while Republicans ran up the deficits with wasteful spending and tax cuts, these Republicans were silent and now they see the deficit as a great tool to score political points.  One way or another, these stupid, evil or grand standing Republicans would like to dismantle the little social safety net that actually exists in the U.S. and a balanced budget would be an effective tool to achieve their ends.  I think there should be a special vote to just throw them in Guantanamo or some newly constructed Gulag!  Most people would be better off without Republicans and big corporations are the only ones that would suffer—meaning that we might be able to end corporate welfare and subsidies without morally bankrupt Republicans to defend the indefensible.
