H is right though: there are a lot of what are core Republican values that are pretty sensible, fiscal prudence being one of them as well as a belief in the government that governs less, governs best. But the party has been badly high-jacked by the deeply religious conservatives who have pushed the party towards crazy social policies that only highlights their extreme ignorance and intolerance to go with their smugness of moral superiority. As much as they talk about a bright future for America, they seem to want to push it back to the 1950s as much as possible.
Very succinctly put
