45. There are republicans who are not in those categories. My neighbors are republicans

and they are none of those 3. They are pro-life I am sure because they are devout Catholics. They are lovely people. And they knew I worked for Planned Parenthood and did not give me any kind of grief over it.

But there is also the wannabe republicans who think for some reason they are pretty rich and will be very rich sometime soon and they age away into senility like my sister in law's lawyer husband. He's a loudmouthed jerk.
