It's always how does some policy affect them. And if some action is good for others, but a problem for them, they go to extremes to find some rationalization why said action is "bad for everyone." , "bad for the country", "God doesn't like it..." etc. You know the drill. Rarely will you find one who is just honest and says outright that they're ONLY looking out for themselves. Deep down they may suspect that is wrong, or don't want other people to disdain them, so they put the God polish on.
