And how often do you hear a Republican of note publicly object to a single one of these platform planks? Not very damned often. And even if they object to a line item, they’ll gladly fall into line as necessary.

If you vote for a Republican, you’re voting for these positions. No abortion at all, ever. No new taxes… except for war, natch. Audit the Fed!!!1 Get those damned women out of combat; any current female combat veterans have been a failed social experiment.

This is what you’re voting for.
