I was reading an article the other day about how, now that WI Gov. Scott Walker was defeated for re-election, the GOP is convening a special session of the legislature to pass laws that will hamstring the incoming Democratic governor. And I recall the North Carolina legislature pulling the same crap a few years ago when their Republican governor was defeated. Which got me to thinking, Republicans are like crazy jealous ex-boyfriends. When you dump them, they don’t just go away. No, they are sore losers. They have that “if I can’t have you, nobody can” mentality where they will burn your car, break into your house, hold you at knife point or gunpoint and generally just make your life a living hell because they don’t get what they want. At least, that’s kinda how it seems to me… --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/republicans-are-like-a-jealous-ex-boyfriend/824356)._
