I think this is kind of an off topic sort of comment (because I can't bring myself to read this bs) but there were so many images of white people in that pamphlet that I think if I were of any other race and a Republican, I'd rage.

That picture on page 12 is particularly creepy...in that huge audience I don't see a single non-white person. And why are there so many cowboys?

Apparently, GOPtopia is populated exclusively by wealthy middle-aged (and straight, no doubt) white folks. Just a wee bit disturbing.

I note that we can't spend any more money... unless it goes to blowing things up. GOOD TO KNOW!

Soon as I saw "Republican Pledge to America" I had a bad feeling.

Also, it's kind of ironic that the Susan B. Anthony List is using Anthony's name to promote those who oppose abortion. Anthony certainly wouldn't have been a member of the GOP were she born in this day in age; she was also chastised for her irreligiousness by Christian groups and distance herself from organized religion - but when she was religious, she was first a Quaker and then a Unitarian, two sects know for being liberal. She was a Republican but that was in the days in which Republicans were closer to modern-day Democrats. I kind of doubt that, had Anthony taken a position on abortion, she'd be against it, given her role in the women's rights movement.

They want to cut spending but want to increase work on a ballistic missile shield.

Uh. Guys?

Missiles will be turned back with a giant prayer circle!

Probably better chances with that than with the real options.

Yeah, I'm not reading this. Let me guess?

Abortion, gays, health care, regulating big corporations, more taxes for the rich= bad

war, tax increases for the middle class, big corporations, bootstraps= good

Am I close?
