I just can't understand why most Americans won't cast a cynical eye at those who would presume to judge our morals. Just because someone swears they follow the teachings of Jesus (and I'm still trying to figure our which of Jesus' teachings they actually do follow) doesn't mean they do.

How can anyone, in good conscience vote for a party where assault and sexual abuse are so widespread?

It does in mine.
It's a sad commentary on America when the Republican Party can be held harmless for the sins they've committed against this nation and her people.
