Response to Original message
8. It's abortion
or the religious right in general. People who are swayed by issues like: anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, anti-pr0n, anti-stem cell research, pro-school prayer, pro-large families with many babies, evangelical mega-church members, get all hysterical about purported "war on Christmas" or purported attempts to take "in God we trust" off the money, and "safety mommies" with SUVs who respond to hysterical appeals to "protect the children" from abortion, porn, drugs, gangs, terra, smoking, Satanic rock & roll lyrics, and the other phantom threats.

The religious right is the Repugs' secret weapon for increasing their turnout. It has been their secret weapon for turning Democratic states red - like Tennessee, Ohio, Iowa, and West Virginia. (when and how the HELL did Iowa and West Virginia of all places become Republican states??!!)
