    Because they are ruthless

    Worshiping power to the exclusion of all else, conservatives are adept at recognizing and sucking up to power. The Dems, being so spineless that if they suddenly grew a spine they'd just form a subcommittee, chaired by a rival, to study it to see if it could be determined what it was for, suck up to everyone except their base which they feel they don't need to suck up to because, hey, they're the base, what're they gonna do, vote republican?
