Never forget.
No—really, please never forget that the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 airquoted women’s health in a debate, and dismissed it as an unreasonable concern when discussing your reproductive rights.
I had obviously been an Obama supporter before that point in the campaign, but that moment was the point at which I was like, oh, FUCK no. You are NOT going to be my President.
An important and related point: this attitude is a load-bearing pillar within the Republican Party.
The major problem I see with Wil’s post is that the republicans I know who still vote republican, don’t know what “load-bearing pillar within the Republican Party” means. It makes me happy that intelligent people realize how much bullshit and stupidity the party is feeding them. It makes me a bit terrified that the core republican party is consistently getting dumber as they alienate more and more literate people.
