97. We really do need to laugh at organized patriarchal religon more . .
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 10:23 PM by defendandprotect
Now that you've read all this, I have a simple question. Are you willing to be tolerant and put up with a few prayers to appease that portion of the population, or would you rather see the Democratic party be painted as anti-religion and chase those voters back to the Republicans? I don't know about you, but I choose the option that HELPS US WIN ELECTIONS!

First, let's not forget that Jimmy Carter had quite a whack at throwing religion into
the political mix . . . and somewhere along the way there --- was it the Carter race/?
Pat Robertson was flirting with a run -- in fact I think he ran for a while/?

But coming back to your question . . .

We sent out a posse to wake up the Evangelicals and they realized that ...

they were being used ---
they're not pro-war or pro-corps --
they're LIVID with Bush's handling of Iraq --
they've recognized GOP interests lie in corporate wealth building/warmongering
but still anti-choice and homphobic . . .
AND . . .
few who genuinely want to see the U.S. turn into a theocracy


BUT THEY WOULD BE CHASED AWAY IF DEMS WEREN'T ACKNOWLEDGING A MALE 'GOD' -- !!????

IMO, these crazies have already done a bunch of harm to the GOP, to intelligence levels,
to science ---

It seems they need to be led around by the nose or they're not happy ---
and if you flash the Bibble at them . . . they're all set to go!!???

You're really sure these are people we need in the Democratic party . . . ???
