OP- No rulers, but greedy idiot billionaires pull the strings of the GOP way too much with big money and a giant BS propaganda machine. See the polluting, screw the workers, keep taxes low for the richest a-holes the Koch Bros, Adelson and Scaife etc and the lying propagandists Murdoch, the Moons etc etc. The GOP runs on hate, lies, greed, chickenhawk adventurism and their military complex. You'll notice their voters are the most misinformed, hateful and ignorant in the modern world.
Coming from you, they should take that as a compliment.
