Allow me to summarize:
Government raises taxes -> Republicans turn on each other -> Democrats get elected.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

2nd amendment is for that reason. The rest are correct. We should not be forced into things we don't want and we shouldn't allow women to murder their babies. Simple as that. Oh and he doesn't oppose same sex marriage he opposes the state sticking its nose in ANY kind of marriage. I am the same way we don't need the state's permission to marry who we want.Learn a bit more on why he does what he does instead of just spouting hate.
