Let me be clear from the get-go, I am an independent, former democrat that left the party when Clinton signed NAFTA. I thought Clinton was a fantastic president, a slut, but a fantastic president and when he signed NAFTA, he fucked democrats. I felt my party had abandoned me so I left and became a democratic leaning independent. I'm heading towards sixty and I still do not understand the GOP.
I'll just go with the most recent event of my not understanding, the South Carolina primary, Newt? Really?
I was hoping Newt would win just to extend the primary and I am delighted with the results but I sure don't comprehend them especially from South Carolina. The only way my brain comprehends the results, republicans are indeed blind to their own sins and have no moral compass or fail to really apply moral character to their own.
This is from the AP...
Nearly two-thirds of voters said they are born again or evangelical Christians, and they backed Gingrich over Romney by 2-1.
More telling, 6 in 10 said it was important that their candidate share their religious beliefs. Nearly half of such voters backed Gingrich, while only 1 in 5 chose Romney and about the same number picked Santorum.
I see exactly what I saw four years ago, the GOP does not want a Mormon as their nominee, religion rearing it's ugly side by discrimination and even more appalling is the fact that the supposed sanctity of marriage seems to mean nothing to these religious people. If it really did would they vote for a candidate on his third marriage? The GOP in my opinion has become such a party of discrimination it can't even find a candidate it can back, hence all the different winners. So where is the moral compass republicans speak of all the time?
Am I just looking at the GOP in the wrong light?
