I don't believe that corporations are people. The GOP does. I don't believe that the government should assert itself into the reproductive organs of my wife, or my female children, or of any woman. The GOP does. I don't believe that the ability to afford health insurance should determine if a human being should be kept alive. The GOP does. I don't believe that dangerous mental patients should be allowed to carry concealed assault weapons. The GOP does. I don't believe that the wealthy should pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes than middle-income wage earners. The GOP does.

I don't believe that genetically modified meats, or meats infused with antibiotics, or injected with growth hormones are good for me to eat. The GOP does. I don't believe that modern industrial, mono-crop agriculture is good for the economy, or the environment. The GOP does. I don't believe that men, based on gender alone, should make more money than their female co-workers. The GOP does. I don't believe that attempting to keep some people from voting is good for democracy. The GOP does. I don't believe that unions are a bad thing for workers to belong to, or that public employees should not be allowed bargaining rights. The GOP does. I don't believe that the investment banks or Wall Street firms will keep to the straight and narrow if we take away all of the recent regulations... But the GOP DOES.

What do you believe?
