So much for a big tent, huh? Maybe it's time for E. Christians to have their own party.

Danforth isn't a Christian anyway. What would he know about it.

Its looking that way doesnt it?From every direction E. Christians are getting hit. How does the Christian Republican Union sound for a party name?

No. Seriously, why would someone want to be part of a party that doesn't want them.

He's joined up with Christie Whitman's PAC.

Wants us to embrace gay marriage, abortion for minors without parental notification, etc.

He also said the evangelical Christian influence would be bad for the party in the long run

I agree completely. And Danforth is an ordained minister! Bravo!

In my opinion, the hard-core religious right is an embarassment to the conservative movement.

Fortunately Danforth is not the Republican Party although those of his kind do occupy the "country club" wing.

Their job is to sit still, keep their mouths shut, and pay! All the others win the elections.

To me this just goes to show you that we need term limits and GOP voters should vote out every Senator after one term. They just all go native.

DANFORTH is 'not credible'....

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UPI) -- A new study by the Cato Institute says that the final official government report on the 1993 Branch Davidian disaster in Waco, Tex.-- which exonerated federal officials from wrongdoing-- is "not supported by the factual evidence."

In "No Confidence: An Unofficial Account of the Waco Incident," criminal justice scholar Timothy Lynch, director of the libertarian Cato's Project on Criminal Justice, analyzes the legal implications of certain undisputed events and concludes that the official investigation into the incident -- led by special prosecutor former Sen. John Danforth of Missouri -- was "soft and incomplete." According to Lynch, many obvious crimes have gone unprosecuted.

Danforth obviously has carried his theological opposition into the political arena.

Note that it was not the conservative Christian republicans who did this.

That said, it's still America and he can work to displace the Christian Conservatives. Then that 2 million Episcopal voting bloc, most of it radical liberal, will do exactly WHAT for the republican party?

If all of the mainline Protestants joined forces today, they would barely equal the size of only the Southern Baptist Church. How many more conservative Christian denominations are there in addition to the SBC?

Also, the Catholic Church has its shared of traditional, pro-family, pro-morality, pro-life conservative Christians.

Go ahead. Trade us for the Episcopals.
