Reply #3: I am not "against" all Republicans either

[LuckyTheDog]

Not all Republicans are bad.

But that party is controlled by nutjobs at the moment. The GOP is run by an odd mixture of neocons (read: neo-fascists), religious extremists and crooks, so far as I can tell.

There used to be a lot more "liberal" to moderate Republicans during, say, the Nixon era. Now those people are "mavericks" (and, as such, are viewed with suspicion in the party) or have run for office as DLC Democrats because they don't fit in with the modern GOP.
