And then the Republican who wins because he yammers about how God influences all his decisions merrily votes on fiscal plans that hurt the poor and middle-class buy hey, that's okay because at least fags can't get married, right? And these Religious Righters who yammer about God's Kingdom on Earth push for torture on enemy combatants and tax cuts for the wealthy and all sorts of things that I suspect their alleged inspiration, Jesus, would be scratching his head over. But I think it's easier to listen to words than watch actions in this nation.

GR, this is sooo true. I get po'ed every time someone talks about how "Christian" they are right now if they are involved with the government. Sure, it's "Christian" to send your troops over to get killed in a war that maybe never should have taken place. It's "Christian" to indirectly lie to the American people. What Mark Foley did sure was "Christian" also. And it sure was "Christian" of the Repubs. to cover his a s s for a little while, and not letting the information get out. Remaining in power is so much more important than a sex offense...
