Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Republicans paraded as the "leave businesses the fuck alone" party as opposed to the party that introduces legislation that forces business too put ridiculous signs in their bathrooms ?

If I had to put that sign up you can guarantee there would be one right beside it bashing the concept with information for anybody who was considering abortion.

Republicans are social "big government" fiscal "small government".

You are looking for libertarians.

Nah, they might be socially big government but to inject that into businesses is still pretty hypocritical.

US parties are really coalitions because of the two party system. The batshit evangelical theocrats aren't the laissez faire feudalists, but the Republican party represents both.

Somebody should have told them you can't please everybody without being a hypocrite or just plain dumb.

I think "hypocritical and just plain dumb" has been the mission statement for a while now.
