There is a Horrible Plank in the Party Platform that says we will Stop Abortions. They pretty it up with words like “Sanctity of Life” or protecting Women but it really comes down to a bunch of Religious Doofuses that want to oppress women because their god (intentional small g) told them it was the right thing to do.
When they couldn’t get the courts to accept their god given right to stick their noses into every woman’s business they decided to create impediments instead. Like forcing women to have invasive ultrasounds before they are allowed to terminate a pregnancy (regardless of the need or reason).
If the Republican party doesn’t get with the times they will find that they can’t get a President elected.
I remember a line from the West Wing – “You Republicans want to shrink the government down so it is just small enough to fit inside people’s bedrooms.” There is a lot to be said for that.
The Republican party needs to return to it’s roots and run on:Integrity, Freedom, Personal Responsibility, and Fiscal Responsibility. Only then will they be attractive to: Women, Minorities, Millenials, and Average Americans. If they don’t they should be content with a majority in the house most of the time and a weak majority in the Senate some of the time.
mdavis Ah! But we all know that conservatives don’t think, probably can’t think, and certainly never think about anyone but themselves. I’d rather be a moron than a vile selfish swine.
@Richarddelguru – I really find your attitude at the core of what is wrong with America. You refer to conservatives as vile selfish swine. At the point you are using the term selfish you telegraph to all of us that you think YOU and your majority are a better judge of what should be done with fruits of a man’s labor then that man himself.
You seem to feel that it is morally acceptable to enslave the productive to care for those who can’t or won’t live within their means. You even go so far as to call them swine. As though even protesting that they are being robbed makes them subhuman.
This country was not built on welfare, robin hood, and government support. It was built by people who worked hard and used the results of their hard work to improve their communities and the lives of their families.
You are a moron because you have such a narrow point of view that all you can see is the good you can do with the money you want to take from producers. You can’t even fathom the evil you do to those producer’s communities by taking the money out of them and handing it out to the political class.
Every dollar the Government spends was either taken from someone who worked to earn it. Or borrowed so that it can be taken from someone who will earn it in the future.
