I didn't say I wasn't liberal I said I wasn't democrat and that I think the party system sucks. You've falsely accused me of being a partisan puppet a number of times.
There aren't many liberals in the Republican party. Liberals are all part of the Democrat party. Now you can say you are not a registered Democrat, but you're still a liberal.
And that’s the GOP’s biggest problem: too few liberals.
There was a time when liberals made up much of the Party, before the advent of the bane of social conservativism and religious fundamentalism; Republicans who respected the right to privacy, the right to equal protection of the law, and the right of citizens to due process of the law, Republicans such as Earl Warren and Barry Goldwater.
Indeed, their advocacy of small government was consistently applied by respecting the rights of citizens, where the Constitution prohibits the states from compelling a woman to give birth against her will through force of law, for example.
Without liberals, the GOP has become extreme and authoritarian, seeking to violate the equal protection and privacy rights of citizens by increasing the size an authority of government.
Today the Republican party is about more government, bigger government, and more intrusive government interfering in citizens’ personal, private lives.
It’s no wonder actual, true Republicans and conservatives have been abandoning the Party for decades.
