20. It sounds like you are advocating for a "better republican"

I'm sorry, but in my view it is a choice between bad and very bad.

Minus the very rare Olympia Snowe's or Lincoln Chafee's of the world, I see the rethugs as the antipathy of equality and tolerance.

Of course, I want - as you - to see a world far more tolerant, but I would rather believe that if the majority can lead by example, the republican party and their small-mindedness will simply shrink away to further irrelevance.

I don't give a damn about trying (or even hoping) for a better breed of republican; call it conservation of energy.

Though in the BIG picture, we clearly want the same thing. :hi:
