You seem to be in the habit of saying one thing, abandoning that position when you are called out on it, all the while taking umbrage because what you actually posted was never the point in the first place.

Early on I answered a few questions minx asked about the letter and author, and why it's in D & D. Admittedly, I wasn't clear about the intent of this thread, and posting the letter muddied it up, starting the thread off in a weird tangent. Mea culpa, my bad, I suck at title-making, should have spent more time anticipating how it would be interpreted and been clearer. Shouldn't have started out with the damn letter.

My subsequent posts are spent trying to clarify -- not backpedal -- that within the GOP leadership there's a small number (fringe) of social conservatives whose top priority is banning abortion (extreme); they're both at odds with, and part of, the party whose priority is small government staying out of private lives (hypocritical); the polarity within the GOP has candidates jumping to appease the far right (fringe) instead of the center, moderates or independents; the religious contingent that is more anti-abortion than pro-life would also cut services for women by defunding services, including abortive pharmaceuticals; using state's rights to legislate away Roe v Wade is part of their political agenda (platform)....

I'll try to fix the title or have someone merge a couple of threads together later.
