GOP Principles Over Survival?

I promised to give you a shot at the Republicans, so here you go.  These folks continually rely on the White Bible bangers to enable them to stay in power.  You know these folks that want the government to legislate our morality per their beliefs.  Thereby relieving us of the freedom to love/marry who we choose, execute family planning as we choose, and do many other very personal things.  If they had their way, the government would likely enforce mandatory Christian church attendance every week and make many fun things very illegal.

Ironically the commitment to some of these folks is likely to cause the party to lose power in the coming years. (see linked article)  I mean the adamant Pro-Life (anti-choice/gov't knows best) stance alone probably costs the party millions of fiscally Conservative voters.

Thoughts on these or any of the other GOP stalwart supporters?

I forgot... They also want the government to keep preventing you from obtaining a physician assisted suicide no matter how much pain you are in....

So much for the party of small government and personal freedom.

C'mon this is fun...

All that labelling the GOP folk and no one has anything to add?

If you don't want to pick on their Christian church going supporters. How about their reliance and sub-servience to those terrible self serving greedy upper 1 to 5 percenters who are out to rob from the poor and middle class?

Usually the comments from Liberals indicate that the GOP will sell their souls to give this group tax cuts that "aren't fair"... Apparently for some personal gain...

I don't understand this perspective, so please feel free to clarify.
