I'll leave this, right.... Here...

But the abortion myth quickly collapses under historical scrutiny. In fact, it wasn’t until 1979—a full six years after Roe—that evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but as a rallying-cry to deny President Jimmy Carter a second term. Why? Because the anti-abortion crusade was more palatable than the religious right’s real motive: protecting segregated schools.

Rick Perry

Reparative therapy'
The Texas Republican Party this month adopted a platform supporting access to "reparative therapy" for gays and lesbians, a widely discredited process intended to change sexual orientation. In response to an audience question about it Wednesday night, Perry said he did not know whether the therapy worked.

Commonwealth Club interviewer Greg Dalton then asked him whether he believes homosexuality is a disorder.

"Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that," Perry said. "I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way."

It's heating up in Mississippi.

Sen. Ted Cruz has jumped into Mississippi’s political drama, a sign that the deepening dispute over the state’s Republican Senate primary runoff is seeping into the national GOP.

In a radio interview Monday, the conservative Texas Republican positioned himself firmly on the side of Chris McDaniel, the Mississippi state senator who lost to Sen. Thad Cochran on June 24. The tea party-backed Mr. McDaniel claims Senator Cochran “stole” the election by reaching out to Democratic voters, many of them black, who then voted “illegally” in the June 24 runoff.

now, the real question is:

do people get more conservative as they age? or is because the older generations (current 65+ age group) was less educated than the current generations?
