Would you please quit disseminating failed talking points from Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. That isn't an argument. That's propaganda. And itmakes you look stupid for repeating it.Some on the right might argue that it's 'unfair' to judge a GOP president candidate in 2016 by the GWB administration, where Bush is perceived by many on the right to be an aberration, a 'RINO,' and not a 'true conservative.'
Perhaps.
But that still doesn't mitigate the fact that today republican lawmakers, officials, and other public office holders currently pursue agendas hostile to citizens' civil liberties.
There are republican lawmakers and official in many states and jurisdictions seeking to deny women their privacy rights, same-sex couples their equal protection rights, minorities their voting rights, and immigrants their due process rights.
And republican lawmakers and officials continue to seek to deny citizens their civil liberties knowing full-well that their efforts are in absolute violation of the Constitution.
For example: over 20 state and Federal courts have invalidated state measures denying same-sex couples access to marriage law. In Oklahoma recently that state's Supreme Court invalidated a measure designed to violate a woman's right to privacy, although current Constitutional jurisprudence strictly prohibits the states from doing so. And in Pennsylvania a state court invalidated a 'voter ID' law.
It is perfectly reasonable to assume, therefore, that a GOP candidate for president will indeed exhibit a similar ignorance of, and contempt for, the Constitution, its case law, and the civil liberties of the American people for whom he wishes to be president.
