GOP divides, won't conquer

It's going to be interesting to watch republican divisions spill over into prime time during their convention. The GOP has created a platform that strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion. There are those in the GOP who are pro-choice and, if not pro-gay marriage, at least anti constitutional amendment.

The Republicans for Choice and Log Cabin Republicans were rebuffed in efforts to include a "unity plank" that says the party welcomes people of opposing views on abortion, family planning and gay rights.Instead, the platform writers included vague language saying that Republicans "respect and accept that members of our party can have deeply held and sometimes differing views."

Are the Log Cabin Repubs and the Repubs for choice actually surprised? News flash: The leadership of the GOP does not like you.

Honestly, the only reason to join the GOP is to stand fast with other social conservatives and Theocons. If you are a socially moderate, constitutional fundamentalist, fiscal conservative, small government, strong military, pro-business type of Republican, you really need to join the Democrats. From me to you, you can go ahead and put down that cross. You will be much happier for it.
