The funny thing about the GOP is that if someone with Reagan's exact platform ran for office, the Republicans would denounce him as some kind of pinko lefty.
Also, their claiming to decide what's moral and what isn't makes me physically ill. Why we elect such bigots and retards is absolutely beyond me.

Capitalism.
Seriously, Capitalism run amok is an accurate descriptor. We have turned an economic system into a cult in this country, so that any attempt to modernize or improve upon it is seen as detrimental to large, faceless corporations and by some weird consequence this apparently hurts the common man in their opinion.
So yeah, Capitalism.
