It's there to keep the Rubes voting against their own economic interests.
Awww, you were finally doing so well. Then you had to fall back to bull shit.
Oh well, I guess you have made some strides today.
If the Republican Party stopped talking about abortion, stopped talking about gays, stopped talking about guns, said, they were going to leave those things to the states, and never talk about them on the national level, all we care about is making sure guys like Mitt can buy their Dressage Ponies...
Do you think they'd realy get that many votes?
Not really.
Social Issues- the Gun, God and Gay bullshit- that's to keep the Rubes on board.
because if people voted on just their economic interests, the Democrats would win. Every time.
