The GOP has gotten to the point that I can't even accept the "I believe in fiscal conservatism", or "I believe in old school conservatism", etc as an excuse for voting Republican. If you vote Republican, I simply lose faith in you as a person. There is no justification for supporting the hate that is pouring out of that party. Not even ignorance is a justification as it requires willful ignorance at this point. Maybe pre-GWB, but his re-election kind of was the death knell of any "acceptable" reason to vote GOP. Since then they've been literally saying the quiet parts out loud. They aren't pretending to be about anything else anymore. No one has an excuse to be fooled into thinking there's any good in the GOP.
