My point was not that they were not thinking not about morality in a specific sense, but that morality is not a big deal with them

If so you did a horrible job at stating your point. You used words that simply don't have the meaning of your intended point.

In any case morality is often quite a big deal among some Republicans. Some taking it to far. The claim that universally morality is not a big deal to them is ridiculous. The claim that generally its a much smaller concern for them than others isn't crazy just false.

Believing something is moral when you think its immoral (or even if there is no doubt about its morality), or beliving something is immoral when you think its just fine (maybe even morally praiseworthy), not only isn't "not thinking about morality", its also not "morality not being a big deal to them".

I usually don't want to try to guess what someone else really means, but I'll take a shot at it here. I think you mean either that Republicans have bad ideas about morality, or that that they are immoral, or both. I'd certainly disagree with those claims, but those claims are very different than both your original claim and even different than your claim in the post I'm replying to.

Whatever you actually meant to claim its clear your original claim is false.
