THE "ANTI" PARTY

There's an article on Huffington Post this morning quoting Carlos Gutierrez, hispanic advisor to the Republican party as to why hispanics were so terrified of Romney and the Republican party:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/11/carlos-gutierrez-mitt-romney-latinos_n_2113622.html

They weren't the only ones terrified.  So were negroes, gays, secular-minded people like me, women, anyone who sees the danger of further uniting religion and the state, etc.

One commenter sumed it up well by writing: "Is there actually anything the repubs are for that doesn't involve being 'anti' something?"

Too which another commenter replied:  "Let's see: anti-gay, anti-immigration, anti-reproductive rights, anti-voting rights, anti-middle class, anti-union, anti-medicaid, anti-medicare, anti-education, anti-science.  OK, I'm going to run out of space."

That pretty well sums it up.
