So which side are you on?
ID is a loser idea. The entire school board in Dover lost their elections.
The worst thing that could happen to the republican party is for it to adopt a pro-Fundamentalist-Christian litmus test. It would immediately lose the neo-cons and non-religious conservatives like myself. And with things so close politically, that's a death warrant for the Republican party.
So again, which side are you on? Pushing religion into politics is guaranteed to lose. Fundamentalists can make their points on issues such as abortion, that is opposed by believers in many different religions, including me, an atheist. And perhaps they can work on home schooling issues, etc. But anti-evolution is out-of-bounds. It is settled science, and creationism is only believed by a small faction of Christians.
This country was founded by Christians of many differing denominations. And they came to the conclusion that if they were going to keep the union together, they had to remove religion from government. When Fundamentalists attempt to re-insert it via anti-evolution, they're out of bounds.
Gosh-all-golly!! Are we in danger of that? I think you ought to rush that line to Teddy Kennedy. He might be able to use it in the Alito hearings! LOL!
That sounds like a scare-tactic coming from the fevered mind of a leftist. As for sides, I am definitely on the right. And I am happy to have the votes of the Christian right for my party, and hope to keep them--and I think we will. There's not enough strength in your side to alienate them. But we'll be keeping an eye on Santorum, since the evos have indicated that they'd like to replace him with a Dem.
