No one can agree with everything their party leadership says or does. You join the party who you agree with the most. My guess is Slave agrees a hell of lot more with the Repubs than the Dems. So what is your beef?

My beef is that I'd like the priorities to be as they were. As Bilmore and I discussed via PM, the GOP's basic agenda remains the same. However, its order of priorities has changed vastly.
I used to mostly agree with the GOP of the past that placed fiscal responsiblity uber alles (except, for example, the GOP's complete disregard for economic externalities with respect to pollution regulation). Unfortunately, that's not true anymore. Now, God rules. The Republicans beef with Democrats used to be that the Democrats tried to regulate how people live their lives b/c they thought regular Americans were too dumb to survive on their own. Now, unfortunately, the GOP is trying to do the same thing, albeit in a different way.
