24. Republicans don't care

George Bush could have eaten puppies on live television and it wouldn't have changed their opinions in the slightest. If lying the country into a war doesn't change Republican's opinions, nothing will. They will still fall back on "But Clinton" and "But Obama" ad nauseam.

They won't even vote for things that are in their best interest because of wedge issues. Do you honestly think they give a fuck when the truth is repeatedly pointed out to them? They don't. They DO NOT CARE what the truth is.

I don't mean to be so negative, but I'm fed up with Republicans. My sister lives in OKC, and their entire town is destroyed, and she's with the ones whining for assistance while in the last election she voted straight Republican.

She fucking voted against plan B for women, when she can't carry a child to term because of a heart condition. She actively works against abortion when her own mother wouldn't be alive had it not been for my father taking her out of a Catholic hospital when she had an ectopic pregnancy and they did a D&C to remove the dead child.

It's lunacy, and lunacy reigns with Republicans. They don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves, never have and never will. When tragedy visits their door, everyone is expected to drop everything and help them out, though. That's when the "Christian" bullshit gets laid on thick. It's Christian to help them, but god forbid they ever show tolerance or kindness when someone else has an issue.
