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.

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.

The Great builder STILL believes the wall will take three days to build.

  The Moscow Lapdog-in-Chief, stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” This was the first time he ever mentioned the deaths of the children by his own actions and edicts. Those children would not have been protected.  Knowing his intelligence level, he probably believes his wall can be built in three days. Most people think it would take up to fifteen years. Moreover, no one believes it will be effective.   Also on the last days of the year, the megalomaniac froze wages for Federal Workers who have been furloughed; people who are out of work, while the person responsible whines about spending the holidays alone (he did not), dines. He canceled his appearance at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Mar-A-Lago. Investors paid vast amounts of money to be in the same room with him — no refu...

Republican malevolence

The Temp President has created a mess. His vindictive Captain Queeg act and a Captain Ahab, McConnell, at the helm.  Now, a fugleman, Peter Lorre impersonator Lindsey Graham, has decided, amidst the clutter and chaos caused by the new Trump Party, to emulate his not-so-divine leader.  The new Senate Judiciary Chairman has decided during this period of Trump-inspired confusion and disorderliness, to dig up old, settled issues.  He’s decided to use the committee to begin investigations of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton; maybe Benghazi. Of course, this is nothing but another infant being placed in a position of being able to turn on the gas on the kitchen stove. Pampers diapers must be doing great business in D.C. Trump promised that following the elections, he would request these inquiries. Now, as the self-appointed Lord of Congress, he has his sycophants bidding his orders. Neither he nor McConnell nor Graham nor McCarthy nor 53 Senate Republicans ar...
