Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave,
When First We Practice to Deceive

Republicans have a problem. For various reasons (including cover for stolen elections), Republicans have been going around claiming that Christian Fundamentalists represent a LARGE minority, if not a majority of the voters in this country. Well, they're obnoxious enough to appear more numerous than they are, but I assure you Fundies represent a VERY SMALL number.

But they do have an agenda. And this agenda, if enacted, would radicalize a significant number of the actual majority of Americans. You see, as awful as going to war on false pretenses was, it really didn't affect the daily life of most Americans, or at least not yet. But stopping legal abortions and sticking the Government's nose into the very private matter of when to remove life support, will.

And that is why, for the last twenty some years, Republicans have been giving lip service only to the Fundies. But now the rubber is about to hit the road. Supreme Court appointments and various "Schiavo" style issues are coming up and the Fundies are tired of "lip service". They want action.

So pop the corn. This should get interesting.

1. And the public opinion polls show how precarious the situation is

for the political grandstanding effort. Let them hang themselves.

2. Yep. And just wait until a Supreme Court vacancy occurs...

Will Dubya try to put a "Right to Lifer" there, or will he face the ire of his base?

4. Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.

If I didn't hate the Thugs so much I might feel
sorry for them.

"Aw, we can make the base happy and it won't
cause too much of a shit storm."

Bwahahahahahaha.

5. I had a long chat with

the head of the Mariposa county republicans about how there are economic republicans, libertarian republicans, and jeebus republicans and he agreed with me that it's an unholy alliance that has great potential for schism.
