I can't think straight when I'm angry, but I'll just say it: I hate republicans

Yes, I know some, and yes, they're good people. But fuck 'em.
I've had it! Someone, please, for the love of god, tell me why an intelligent person would be a republican? Name one, ONE republican president in the last fifty years that didn't a) damage our economy, b) essentially spit on civil liberties, and c) made things just generally worse. There is no logical reason to be a republican. I've thought long and hard about this, so now I'm watching the Republican National Convention. (I'm a firm believer that everyone should watch both sides of the debate).
So, here I am, watching it (Giuliani, actually), and... I'm more confused. These people are idiots! Drilling isn't going to help! We need alternative energy! Don't chant, people! It's stupid! No! Stop it! This would be funny if it weren't so scary. Now they're booing! Why are you booing? He just said something about Barack's policies THAT MADE TOTAL SENSE! It was logical, showed deep thought, AND THE REPUBLICANS BOOED!
You're the party of freedom? YOU'RE the party of freedom?! With the exception of the slave thing, you've done nothing but limit freedoms! What. The. Hell.
I...I can't watch this any more. My blood pressure's scaring me. I remember why I love this country after the Democratic National Convention, and now I just realized why I hate it so much. Because people like this VOTE.
Back to my first request, however... Please, someone, explain to me why people are republicans. There's got to be some logical reason I'm missing here.

Fuck, I know.
The only reason I can think of is that a.)They're heartless, or b.) their religion has given them very conservative ideals.
Anti-choice? Well good for you, don't get an abortion then, but let everyone else make the choice for themselves.
Want creationism taught in schools? Good luck, science says evolution happened and they have proof, until I see God sneeze and make a bunny, I'm not buying any of that shit. Now, I'm all down for the theory that God said "Here, I'll make a universe" and just saw what happened from there. That makes sense, evolution still happened. Both sides win.
Want guns to be legal? They are! You just can't have them out on the street and rightfully so! You don't want someone shooting your family, and we don't want you shooting ours.
You want your wars? You got 'em. I'm fine with war if it's for a reason. If there's no reason to be there, however, I'm not down with that. I don't even know why we're in Afghanistan, the only thing we're doing there destroying cities and killing beautiful people. I love the Afghan culture, I don't understand why we're trying to hard to destroy it when they didn't do anything to us.
I don't understand it. To them, people in the middle east are godless terrorists, people who teach evolution are wrong and denying God, and women who choose how they want to live their lives are going to hell.
What's wrong with them?
Wow, I feel like I'm stepping into a lion pit, but I guess I'm going to defend my republican buddies. (Please don't take any of this personally, I've been trying hard to look at politics logically, instead of emotionally. I try to keep politics out of relationships.)
A.) A lot of people start out as Democrat when they are young like us, and then change to republican as they get older.
B.) We aren't in a war any more, we are retreating. Arguable, but anyone that gets elected to be President can't win saying that he's going to stay in Iraq (or the other place we seem to have forget about.)
With that said, I do believe we have gone to far in some ways in the terrorism field... in a lot of ways. I'm actually mad that we aren't more Republican right now. Some one truly conservative would want our government to do nothing right now. I'm afraid if Oboma gets elected we are going to go to far left wing. We really need to find a middle ground.
