I just read JaneB's post with the phrase "major Republican", which made me think of some saying of "I never discuss religion and politics...". I tried to google it, but came up with a Mark Twain quote instead:
Quote:
In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.

Anyway. Continue the fun, kids.
** Edit - I'm pretty much amazed there's still two political parties, which is why I liked MT's quote -- it helps make sense of it.
