One of the most conservative states in the country voted overwhelmingly on the side of abortion rights last night. Put it up to a vote just about anywhere in the country, abortion rights will win. If that is not a devil for Republicans I do not know what is. Again, I am not wrong on this one. I saw it coming since the 90's. It's one of the main reasons why I switched parties back then. This cancer within the party has metastasized into a devil that's only getting stronger from here.

You think you could say devil one more time?

Are you saying that Republicans are evil for not wanting to kill babies and it's good for those who have sex all willy nilly to abort a life because they don't want to deal with the consequences of their actions?

The devil is in the details. And you're completely missing those details. The evil is the attempt to empower government to meddle in our private lives. Doesn't matter what it is. Abortion, pot, marriage or whatever, if it doesn't effect anyone significantly except the person at hand, government has no business to meddle. It's callled the right to privacy. Once they have you brainwashed into taking away one right, it's even easier for these people to brainwash you into taking away even more rights. That is the devil we are fighting here. Harboring the devil was a sign of strength for Republicans up to this point. Now since it's unleashed, it's no longer the case. It's one thing being able to ride it. It's a whole different matter once it throws you to the ground. And that's the situation the Guardian Council has put Republicans in.
