I wish that people stopped making generalizations about "Republicans". Most Republicans I know are NOT religious in any way, are for gay marriage and are for a woman's right to do whatever she wants to with her body. Really only a small percentage of Republicans are the Bush/Cheney crowd.

Most are really Libertarians but choose to register as Republicans so they can vote in their state's primaries (they choose Republican because Republicans often run on similar Libertarian platforms, at least more than the Democrats). Most Republicans I know can't stand how their party is now. They want to start over and make it more Libertarian again, lke it is supposed to be.
Tell me about it, I have many people in the politics forum who hate me because they think that I stand with republicans. I'm actually pretty much libertarian as opposed to republican.

It's interesting to see how people start getting emotional and berating you when they think you affiliate yourself with a party.

It's a shame because if people actually looked at the things I said it would be obvious that I just want the government to mind their own business and stay out of our affairs. I don't want the government telling me what I can and can't do. I want them to provide me some basic public services, a military and maintain international relations as well as promote the free market. Aside from that just general criminal laws at the state level. I want more power to the states and less power to the federal level.

but everyone wants to label me a right wing religious zealot (yeah.. someone called me that once and I'm Agnostic.. hilarious).

Take it easy Reb :hippy:
