33. The Religious Right as Loan Sharks...
Let's look on the semi-organized religious right as load sharks...

For years, the Republican's have been able to go to the loan sharks for a quick loan...a block of votes here, a deniable mud-slinging there, a loud-speaker for talking points over there. And that's been good, as long as they kept paying the "nut". Keep paying the interest by passing, or at least attempting to pass, laws and regulations that their load shark likes.

But the loans build up...and sooner or later, the loan shark is going to want something bad enough to "call in" the loan. It's all going to come due, and if it's not paid, theres going to be broken legs, chopped fingers and concrete galoshes all around.

The Republicans are starting to see where some of the Loan Sharks are calling the loans. And perhaps are realizing just exactly what they've let themselves in for...that once they give one or two sharks what they want, they're going to have a feeding frenzy. They're all going to want to get their money's worth, and if they don't get it...fugetaboutit! Their posterior is going to be landscaping!

Check out all these Religious-Right leaders now...what they're talking about now, in not so uncertain terms, is calling in the loans. And the Republicans are about to reap the whirlwind!
