Here's where I'm having a hard time understanding. I don't see anyone espousing these true and original points of view. I live in a predominantly Republican state, and I swear nobody sticks to the fucking subject, the subject being the original principles of the republican party. Why is there such disparity between what they're supposed to be about, and what they actually are about?
