I'm not going to defend them, just note that unfortunately one can not choose one's fellow members in a political party here in the US. If so, I'd make sure all the obscenity using people joined Cheney* and the Republicans.
OTOH, every time some assjack with a Bush sticker on the back of his SUV cuts me off in traffic, I have much the same negative reaction: he's not helping you guys any.
* Cheap shot. Sorry.
