No ya see tha thing is your party does not see
his group as nuts. That is the problem.
Hatred and intolerance are
dangerous stuff. The Unions merely try to get
their unfair share.

Its a frggn albatross around the Republican's neck.

If these so-called social conservatives could be
tossed, the party could get down to the real
credo... fiscal responsibility. This is the attraction
of the party to the middle ground. But the party
just does not get it.

The Republocrats and the Demlicans aren't really speaking for anybody anymore are they. Maybe their own special interests but not Americans.

This is ridiculous. The vast majority of the party does see him as a nut. There is no coverage of the regular people, just the extremists on both sides. Actually there is much more coverage of the extreme right than the extreme left, you make up your own mind on why this is.

It is ridiculous NOW.
You have a short memory.

Are you seriously telling me the Republicans
have not courted the Christian Right in the past?
Because if you are, you dont know your own party.

So all Christians are nut jobs? I would tend to think that a great majority of christians would not consider themselves nuts.

My friend thinks I'm nuts (well I am but thats besides the point) because I believe in evolution. She says science is basically bogus and never been proven.

Well she believe's in Adam and Eve... I asked her, you think I'm nuts!?!?! Science is bogus but fairytale land is completely true??

I always ask her what happened to the dinosaurs.. can never figure out where they fit in the Bible. Though I'm sure if they were aware of the Pri-historic ages when dino's were on the earth back when the Roman government was releasing its new best seller (the Bible), they would have figured out a way to incorporate them into the Old Testament.

My friend is fairly sane though, and I dont hold her beliefs against her... she calls it FAITH, which I respect.

Push her out a first-floor window a few times - proves that "gravity theory" to the most ardent skeptic, every time

Come to the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky. There, you will see that dinosaurs walked the earth together with man and prehistoric man and all other creatures on earth at once. Conundrum neatly solved.

She's pregnant so I'll wait a few months to push her over


Now I really want to go to that museum... thats awesome. Cept I may be killed by someone when I'm in there arguing ever single thing. I cant keep my mouth shut when there is a good argument to be had... especially between evolution and creationism or whatever its called.

Were Jerry Falwell and his followers not major players
in the Republican party? Do you deny this...?

And there were plenty of Christians (Catholic friends
I have anyway) that despised the man and following.

Darn it...
Stop with the misquotes also. Where did I say all Christians?
You should join the press corps.

Falwell brought a large amount of votes yes. Just as the parties court prominent black, hispanic, gay, jewish, etc leaders most of whom are less than stellar individuals.

When you make sweeping statements you are not being misquoted. When you say that the GOP recruits the Christian right without qualification then it is assumed that you are including the entire demographic.

ok then.

I am trying to find the prominent gay and Jewish leaders
that are scum... Mainly because I dont know who their major spokespeople are.
So you are thinking of Jessie Jackson and
Al Sharpton. Hispanic... Alberto Gonzales?

Sweeping statements...
Jerry Falwell got a heck of a lot of right wing Christians to
vote conservative. The Republican party fully embraced Falwell.

So from this you derive that I said all Christians...
ok then again.

Just say it.
I wish my party would stay away from the social issues and
stick with the economic principles.
You can do it.
