"Just out of curiosity, if Republicans don't live up to your expectations, what is your response?"

I honestly don't know what to say. I have remained silent for a long time. I just think politicians are being what they are and have always been. But, I wonder how much of this mess is my fault for allowing a self righteous religious element to hijack the soul of the Republican party.

I care not what people believe or what church they attend. I care if they argue nonsense in public. I care if they want to inject nonsense in public schools. I care if they post nonsense on this forum.

The opposition to science is not something I want associated with conservatism. I am not happy with the knee-jerk opposition to the findings of science (even in cases where I think the mainstream is ahead of the facts, so to speak). I hate the fact that it is difficult to discuss facts on this forum. I hate that people get banned for expressing unpopular opinions politely.
