an effect on elections. If only that sentiment would spread!
The religious reich has been played for suckers for years by a GOP that really has no stake in overturning abortion rights completely, since that would cause a great deal of trouble for business as their cheaper workers were forced to take lengthy sick time for babies they never wanted.
I've wondered for a very long time how long it will take for all those church people to realize they've been played for decades and either sit on their hands on election day or form their own bible party.
So far, the GOP has been able to get things like meaningless antigay petitions onto state ballots to get out the religious crazy vote. The religious crazies are showing signs of getting wise to that, too.
Maybe it's going to spread beyond the Mass. border. I sincerely hope so. The religious nuts have poisoned this country's politics for far too long as it is.
