re: #96 HappyWarrior

I hate to say it but hating gays and denying women choice is more important to many religious voters than helping your fellow man out.

The cheapest way for a politician to rouse support is to target groups to hate. In America right now, political traction is being made on hating Muslims, and to a lesser extent Africans. Gays are a split thing, but for sure in the Bible belt hating gays is a way to garner votes.
