re: #88 avanti

I agree 100%. Before I started hanging out here, I thought there were no, or very few agnostic, atheist Republicans, or blacks or gays for that matter.
The face of the party to me, was white, elderly, Bible pounders that lived in the flyover states. To find a conservative blog that was not all Guns, God, and Gays was a eye opener for this leftie. Support of legislation like this, just reinforces that old, wrong stereotype.

That’s because of two things.
1) That’s how the media portrays the party as a whole, which to some extent is only natural, as the media LOVES drama…
2) The most dramatic, over-the-top positions of a party or particular politician are the ones guaranteed to be trumpeted far and wide.

Fact is, Republicans are as varied as Democrats…and with the recent determination of a portion of the party to push so-con issues, we’re even starting to have our share of infighting.
