I completely agree, and have a few more examples. Over 20 years ago I read about some Nevada Republican ranchers who suddenly became environmentalists, when their own wells were poisoned by uranium mining activities. Nancy Reagan switched her opinion on fetal stem cell research from against to favorable once her beloved Ronnie got Alzheimer’s Disease, and stem cell research seemed to hold the most promise for a cure. Republicans are rooted in self interest. Period. Democrats have more interest in the common good, especially those citizens who are hurting. It’s a matter of empathy versus no empathy. Christians? Not so much.
