> social issues are a nice little diversion from what government is really all about: taking your money, borrowing against it, and spending it. The Republicans seem to waste a great deal of effort trying to fit the government into people's bedrooms, family life, and women's doctors offices for it to just be "a nice little diversion."

the democrats want to outlaw sodas and guns. it's all bullshit to fire up morons. do you really think there's a snowball's chance in hell of overturning roe v. wade? do you really believe republicans want to force gay people to convert to heterosexuality? if you do, you're an abject moron, exactly the type of person this kind of divisive diversionary nonsense is aimed at.

  The Democrats want to impose a "sin" tax on soda to try to nudge people from making themselves even more obese than they already are, in a futile attempt to bring down health care costs, without addressing the main problem, which neither side wants to confront (too much lobbyist money at stake). I would welcome sane legislation on gun control that would work. I doubt that anyone in Congress would have the courage to do what Australia did. It really doesn't seem worth engaging you any further, as you seem to be a fine exemplar of your closing statement in your argument.

Planned Parenthood is not a woman's doctor office.
