And before you go bashing me and my Rebublican views, know that I've voted Democrat since I've been old enough to vote. I like to think that I can call bullshit whether a Democrat or Republican is selling it, and I'm not buying your bullshit.
It represents the direction millions of repugs want to take this Country, just like millions of Dems support gun control. We're talking general rules here, and along with that there are always exceptions. It is a fact that the leaders of the repug party are inextricably connected to the religious right. Not all of the repug party support that agenda untill it comes time to vote, they then fall into lock-step with whatever the party leaders say. This lock-step phenomenon does not occur with the Dems. They at least try to be more independantly minded, which leads to better debate, resolution of problems, and better representation in general.

So, if you're not a repug, I'm not bashing your views, I just think you're not looking behind the rose bush to see the repugs pile.
