We also know for a fact that Republicans aren't in favor of the government staying out of people's private lives. They are, after all, strongly anti-abortion, which by definition is an extremely private affair.
edit: what I said is 100% correct, so I will assume that the downvotes are simply political in nature.
- MrZongle2 10y ago"We also know for a fact that Republicans aren't in favor of the government staying out of people's private lives." I think it's pretty clear at this point that both parties love getting involved in the private affairs of individuals. Obama continued Bush-era spying policies, and in fact just this week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13390511 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13390511) expanded the power of the intelligence community to snoop on Americans. Blaming just one political party is demonstrable nonsense.
- enraged_camel 10y agoDemocrats have never said they want the government to stay out of people's private lives. That's strictly a Republican talking point that goes in tandem with their criticisms of "Big Gubment".
- angry-hacker 10y agoIf you truly believe it is murder, as they do I guess, but I it's not a private affair. I'm not defending them but it's a poor example.
