I read on Right Wing Watch that one Republican in Virginia feels that the GOP isn't extreme enough on abortion. I spent most of my life in Virginia (Chesapeake and Fairfax County), and I was fortunate enough to be in fairly tolerating schools. Now I am not really a huge fan of Taylor Swift, I don't really listen to her music, but I think that young people these days follow celebrities. Why do you think the GOP hates the fact that many celebrities don't follow their ideology? In fact, they hate Hollywood in general. They feel it is influencing too much young people and are "taking away" votes for them. But if it takes someone like that for people to realize how dangerous the Republicans are, then by any means do it.
