Simply, the Republican party does "believe in" anything other than what gets them votes. They're like a tapeworm that has dedicated 90+% of its organism to reproduction that there is little or nothing left over. Similarly, Republicans back restricting abortion because their (stupid) base goes for it. You think they care one way or another about gays? Yeah, they'll throw a piece of meat out every now and then, but the overwhelming majority or legislation they work on is to get more money to the rich so some will come back as campaign contributions. What that does to the country is immaterial.
