A Case Study Of The Republican Mind

Let us introduce you to a dick fellow in the Arkansas legislature named Josh Miller.  Because he's a Republican, he knows there are two sets of rules:  one for him and one for "them:"

More than a decade ago, Arkansas Rep. Josh Miller (R) was in a catastrophic car accident that broke his neck and left him paralyzed. Medicare and Medicaid paid the $1 million bill for his hospitalization and rehabilitation. 

But this week, as the Arkansas legislature has debated continuing its privatized Medicaid expansion under Obamacare, Miller has remained steadfast in his opposition.

You know who the "them" are, we assume.  When asked what's the difference between his case and the thousands of Arkansans who need Medicaid, Miller responded:

The difference, he said, is that some of the 100,000 people who have gained coverage through Arkansas's Medicaid expansion don't work hard enough or just want access to the program so they can purchase and abuse prescription drugs.  (our emphasis)

Translation:  the lazy, the poor, the minorities, the "moochers," substance abusers.  Not deserving people like him:

The accident that paralyzed Miller occurred about 11 years ago, the Times reported. He was driving with a friend, alcohol was involved, but Miller said he couldn't remember who was driving.  (our emphasis)

 Selfish hypocrite.
