Republicans Say Homosexuality and Abortion Destroyed Economy

On Friday and Saturday a whole slew of what passes for luminaries in God’s Own Party got together to expound on their anti-gospel:

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann;
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour;
former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney;
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council;
Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan;
Speaker of the House John Boehner;
former Utah governor Jon Huntsman;
Donald Trump;
Glenn Beck;
former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty;
Congressman Ron Paul (Tex.);
former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum;
Presidential candidate Herman Cain;

Newt Gingrich sent a video message rather than attend in person; and,
Sarah Palin declined to attend due previous commitment to a shameless orgy of self-promotion.

But the Republicans don’t seem all that interested in America’s problems so they’ve invented a few that better suit their religiously-centered obsessions: what other people do in their own beds. Yes, this was not a political conference but a chance for these Republican hopefuls to shake their money makers, to prostitute themselves before the altar of Christofascism.

The GOP is in Ralph Reed's pocket. Regardless of where anyone stands on abortion and gay rights, economically it is cheaper NOT to have a pregnancy & not to have a pregnancy go to term. The Republicans already want to strip assistance to those in need anyway- so they want they babies created and born, and then what?

The marriage/getting married industry has always been a fantastic boon to the economy. I always thought a well-touted Mall of Marriage or Mall of Life (tastefully done, of course :-) ) could generate a nice cha-ching for the economy. Think of all the different types of businesses involved in the process. Legalizing gay marriages would create revenue. and lots of it.
