The Cruel and Retrogressive Mentalities of the Republican Party - and Why Many DON'T Support Them

[B.See]

Retrogressive ideologies, cruelty, spite, and hate based legislation. Obstructionism of things they ONCE stood for... often for no other reason than "to own the libs."  Putting PARTY before AMERICA and AMERICANS.

Their RECORD (or perhaps, LACK THEREOF) SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

Same rules apply to this thread as all my PG enabled threads: rational discussions, points counter points, rebuttals and responses are welcome, but NOT personal insults, name calling, misrepresenting direct quotes, hate speech, drive by **** posting, trolling, and senseless content. Some who've habitually engaged in such have already been uninvited, while others have NOT been uninvited...yet. Though little doubt they'll resort to the same things that got them removed before.
