Because Republicans are so supposed to represent the better angels of our nature. They are supposed to stand for Judeo-Christian values.
It is the Democrats that stand for Satan, immorality, homosexuality, abortion of the innocent (even outside the birth canal), theft, socialism, welfare, racsim, etc.
Lincoln fell short, we all fall short. Claro que...republicans are the better angels of our nature? Who buys that happy horse **** they are all bought and paid for in one way or another. If he repents can we not forgive?
