Akin Nothing if fil-A Controversy

People are dying to take sides in the culture war. Whenever I hear of an egregious act or policy or statement that I think all people everywhere would instantly condemn.. I go on Facebook and the same people (a few of my FB friends are righties) are right there defending the egregious act.

It is unbelievably predictable. Once you’re on a side, it seems that all of that side’s beliefs are 100% in line with your beliefs.

This guy is totally going to be a Chick-fil-a dude. NO surprise there. I bet he’s an NRA nut, too. I bet he’s anti-muslim, pro Bush, anti-tax, anti-medicare, anti-gay rights, pro military (but anti Veterans care), anti separation of church and state, pro Iraq intervention but anti Lebanon intervention, pro oil pipeline, anti solar rebates, pro bailouts when Bush did them and anti bailouts when Obama did them, a climate change denier, and creationist.

If someone wants to score my list, that would be awesome. I bet I’m 95+% correct. Once in a while there is a surprise, like when they are personally involved in something, they are a vet themselves (like McCain) or have a gay daughter (like Cheney). Then they support Vets or are “soft” on the gay rights issue. Other than that.. they tow the line.

Isn’t the GOP platform closer to Akin’s position than to Romney’s. Does Romney even have a position? Today Romney told Akin to take a hike and Akin told Romney to go away. Who won that interaction?

I see that God is sending tropical storm Isaac to punish the GOP for that skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee.
