Face it, the GOP is a dwindling bunch of old angry White guys, most of them manipulated by the money of guys like the Kochs.
They have the right to say and publish any damn thing they choose. But to say that they ought to be able to DEDUCT it as some sort of charity, as if they were giving sight to the blind or curing disease, that is just WRONG.
So fuck 'em, this is just like Benghazi, going nowhere.
