Patriot Politicians vs. Reactionaries

Patriot Politicians: Citizens who try to do what is best for all of their constituents (even those who did not elect them), who craft legislation that does the most good for the most people, who take into consideration the competing interests and all the unintended ramifications, who create balance and harmony, and who minimize expense and harm.

Reactionaries (Utah Cowboy Republicans): Citizens who try to do what is best for their campaign donors or own businesses, who don't give a rat’s ass about anyone else, who craft legislation that does the most good for their own, who take an adversarial stance against any competing interests and never consider the unintended ramifications, and who create polarization, dissonance, undue expense, and harm.
