    Being a republican. Sure there are some educated grifters who decide to label themselves as republican, but your average republican voter is a mouth-breathing fucking idiot.

      While I don’t always agree, I can see how people can justify fiscally conservative policies. I tend to swing left, but arguing for small government isn’t without merit. The problem is with socially conservative policies. The republican party is no longer the party of small government, but is instead the party of bigotry and hatred for their fellow Americans. I wish I had the option of voting for multiple parties, but unless I suddenly decide that I want to regress to 1920s social policies, Democrat is the only semi-sane option.

        Depends on what the motivation is. There are fiscal conservatives that think it is a responsible thing to do and then there are the fiscal conservatives trying to pull the ladder up behind them. Fuck the latter. Agree to disagree with the former.

      Being a republican first-party voter. Sure there are some educated grifters who decide to label themselves as republican or democrat, but your average republican first-party voter is a mouth-breathing fucking idiot. terribly misinformed.
