Why are some Republicans afraid to vote their hearts rather than their party?

Several Republicans in Congress, 8 from the House and 2 Senators, said that many of their votes against Obamas programs may not have happened if Obama had come to them. They actually agreed some of the legislation presented. Things "may have gone the other way if he just came to (them). .
SO, IT WAS POLITICAL. Not their responsibility to the American citizens, and not the policies that would have affected millions of Americans positively. They blame their votes on Obama for "not coming to them." His fault they voted no. Not, of course, McConnell's vow to make Obama a one-term president by voting down anything he proposed. 
I am so tired of Republicans saying Obama did nothing to interact with The Republicans in Congress. On January 31, 2010, Obama asked to meet with the Republican Caucus to present his ideas and get feed back and open communications. Instead, Jeb Hensarling and a young Paul Ryan, stood and yelled and argued with the president about his economic proposals. Rather than a simple conversation, Obama was ATTACKED. The televised meeting, was set up as an ambush with gross distortions and misrepresentations. The president handled them well, but Ryan kept attacking even as the event ended. The beginning of the disrespect they showed Obama. 
The Republican Murder Enthusiasts (RME), I'm sorry, gun rights nuts, say Obama should propose something to stop crime, but not register guns. They are ignorant of the fact that the Second Amendment they worship states clearly, "WELL-REGULATED." Regulations mean related. THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF REGULATED:
" control or supervise (something, especially a company or business activity), by means of rules and regulations."
I Agree. We do have the right to make certain our gun owners are REGULATED. This is the part which gun enthusiast DELETE when citing the Second Amendment, because it doesn't serve their purpose.. Any rational person would have to have gone to a dictionary and see what WELL-REGULATED MEANS. 
Obama tried to stop crime and mass shootings and guns in the hands of terrorists, but the REPUBLICANS in CONGRESS voted down his proposal to keep guns away from the names on the no-fly list. They actually voted to allow NO-FLY PEOPLE to buy guns. WHY? Because it was Obama's idea. No other reason. 
Obama tried to increase jobs, but the Republican Congress voted down his infrastructure programs. 
There's more, but I ask, if it's so simple to find the truth, why do people tell me I'm lying? Where do they get their FACTS? I'd like to know.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.
