"To you, they may be the party of fiscal responsibility, military strength and upholding the Second Amendment. To them, you're a godless queer."
Assuming all republicans are bible-thumping queer-hating backwater evangelistic mongrels, of course.
There are strong portions of the republican party that would like to lose a lot of the religious fundamentalism that exists in their rank. The near revolt that took place in the party in the late 90's that was followed by the equivalent of the "Council of Trent" illustrates the point. And now we have neo-conservatism. Whee.
I am surprised at the statement. It would be like someone telling me I can't vote Democrat that because I grew up in the military "I'll be viewed as nothing more than a babykiller. Period." ... that's silly and ignoring the moderate elements of the argument.
For the reason of just complete irrsponsibility of action and stupidity of interaction with other nations, the Demorats could nominate a bucket of mud and I'd vote for it.
I'm not replublican. (Libertarian, actually) But I find one of the most disconcerting thing about voting democrat is the surprsing company I find myself keeping at times. The amount of unmitigated vitrol is astounding. Here in PA, the largest state up for grabs, the shear volume of unfounded propoganda in both directions is appauling.

The emotions are just too high I guess.
