Long ago, I trumpeted the battle cry of the GOP. Rugged Individualism, Minimal government and, of course, no new taxes. These are the planks of the platform I admire. The focus shifted from reducing government waste and controlling spending and taxes to suddenly you're Mrs. Cravitz with your big fat nose in the personal lives of Americans.
The GOP became the moral police, all the while screwing young boys, raping the middle class, and extorting money from corporate donors. Now, as the federal level reaps what they've sewn with the shift in power in congress, Texas can't wait to get in on the act.
The legislation proposed this session, whether it is in regards to parental notification and waiting periods for abortion, or waiting periods for divorces, or the requirement for pre-marital counseling before the issuance of marriage licenses is a bit much. Last year the gays tried to warn you that the Republicans weren't just coming for the gays...they'd come after you, too. So, they are. The Republican party is coming to save you. You have sinned and the GOP is all that can make it right.
When did the party that used to tell everyone that the government is not your daddy become exactly that? What they don't realize is that we've already grown up and left the house.
The problem is that you have too many lazy dumb asses that don't know enough about economics and real issues so they have to take on the least common denominator of what their constituents will support so they will in turn keep voting for them.
"I don't know enough about the tax code to take it on to give my constitutents a break, but I know they will love my anti-gay marriage shit, even though it's already illegal for fags to marry, this will get me in good with the mouth breathers in my district, gay marriage ban it is" These fuckers don't represent true conservatives in the party, they are only wasting space. Unfortunatley for those of us that do care more about the fiscal aspects of the party, the fuckstains are ruining it all.
