See, while I'm willing to believe that some Republicans aren't evil individually, I have issues with the party they support.
The Republican party is rallying behind candidates who are divisive. They espouse freedom and justice while denying it to half the population. They would (and thanks to Bush, have) denied many women access to birth control. The would deny rape and incest survivors the right to abort a child conceived in fear and hatred.
They believe that my partner and I should be stigmatized and deny me the right to see nilchance should she be in an accident.
They believe that the constitution should be filtered through the lenses of religion, instead of standing on its own as it was intended.
So yes, I believe that every person should have the right to choose what they support. But they're going to have to deal with people judging them by their party alliances.
