Is there any study that shows a GROUP of peoples moral breaking point? What does the GOP have to do

...as an organization to make followers say to themselves that they don't want to be associated with their crap?

Lets review facts that are NOT in dispute about the GOP...

1. OPENLY admitting to and reducing Americans ability to vote in Ohio, Penn and Florida.
2. OPENLY admitting to and implementing socially divisive campaign tactics focusing on gays, racial minorities and religions to stoke fears and garner votes. (Southern Strategy)
3. OPENLY admitting to and trying to enforce a Randian economic policy that believe the rich are "producers" and the poor and the "takers" and the "producers" should have cart blanche or near carte blanche on what to do with Americans economy.

...any one of those would make me stray far away from them...

How does a group of people justify crap like this in their minds?

Thx in advance for your input

Turn up the water heat (rhetoric) slowly and consistently over the years. Next thing you know offensive is mainstream.

...she was and atheist as if he didn't know that already seeing he was an admire.

Randians believe the "makers" have dominion over the "takers"...meaning they can do as they will.

GOP and Morals...please! It's all about the black guy in the White House...treating women as property...and pissing on the poor the elderly, and veterans.

Current supporters of the GOP have no morals...they fall in line and march in lockstep with a man they have nothing in common with, who selected a worshipper of an atheist woman who's hero was a man that kidnapped and cut up a little girl, just because he wanted to.

I truly believe that "grass roots" Republicans would watch Rmoney eat a live child on TV, and still vote for him because he's just like them...white!!!
