It's Simple

The purpose of today's GOP is move money from the 99% to the 1%. The rest of the cultural stuff such as abortion, contraception, birtherism, gay bashing, same sex marriage, all of it is just red meat to feed the rubes. They don't care anything about the 99% except as worker bees on their plantations. IF they can keep the rubes scared and hungry then the rubes won't be worried about anything but their own skins and empty stomachs and not how they are being screwed at every turn.
