Well said! The Republicans always need to have a bogey-man to focus their base away from their lack of any cohesive strategy to address the real problems of poverty, poor education, and inequality that plague our state and others. This has brought in a lot of cash to their campaign war chests and votes in the primary and general elections, so they have no incentive to behave more responsibly. It is, however, a measure of how insecure and pathetic they are that they now feel the need to pick on children and youth as their bogey-persons du jour.
