No, just the ones that represent Republican idelology in the media and
in congress. They are proud of marching lock step, a top down ideology.
When I contest some of these issues with Republican friends I find the
ideas they dogma they don't seem to agree with they simply won't talk
about. Hardly a vote of their "acceptance".
