For those who think the Republican Party isn’t influenced enough by the religious right, you now have a better choice, the New Independent Christian Party. Like all successful political parties, this one is being officially launched at a press conference at the “Kingdom Empowerment Business Center” in Maryland.

There does not exist a reliable political party that purely represents the overall Christian agenda in America. We can neither ignore the overwhelming contrast to our Godly principles of the marriage equality and abortion rights agendas, which the Democrats strongly support, nor can we be oblivious to the arrogant, greedy, unsympathetic Pharisaic practices of the Republicans…

The November election is poised to leave the Christian base with an extremely bitter taste of misrepresentation and miscalculation of our position and priorities concerning many of the issues in the forefront of American lives today.

1. Popcorn anyone?

If this hastens the demise of the repubs, or lessens the power of the teabaggers, then I am all for it!

[LeftishBrit]

2. Well, at least they may take votes from Republicans.

[Angry Dragon]

3. So much for the separation of church and state

Even Jesus preached separation of church and state

[Erose999]

4. The I.C.P. - What is their policy on magnets?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. If their stance on cabinets is any indication.....

[Tsiyu]

6. "Our Godly Principles"

"Cuz, you know, we believe in the RIGHT Gawd, so our booties smell like rose petals and we are SPESHULL!"

The keyword is "Our." As in: your gawd is not MY gawd - and I'm damned sick and tired of "Gawdly" people trying to force their childish nonsense on the rest of us.

Take your GAWD and believe how you wish, but leave me and my government ALONE.

7. Out with the Minute Men in with the Tea Party.

Out with the Tea Party in with the ICP. Same old GOP tricks. Every eight years they re-brand to keep the suckers on the hook.

[Arugula Latte]

8. Good. Let the extreme-extreme nuts splinter off from the extreme nuts.
