One big problem for the Religious Right (that's me), has been when the Christian Coalition got sidetracked into tax policy stuff and supporting a corporatist agenda, and didn't address the loss of work in America through downsizing/offshorring. Somewhat encapsulated in Ralph Reed's association with Jack Abrahmoff.

As for "... a new agenda for the environment and the poor.", that's part of the Religious Right's natural policy realm.

It is very hard to take a little of the poison that comes with politics, we still have to chose the lesser of the evils.

...and didn't address the loss of work in America through downsizing/offshorring.

Some of this can be laid at the feet of the Protestant work profit ethic, Some on the right felt that what was good for the corporate bottom line was good for America, Others concentrated on crying "Woe is me! Everyone is out to get Christians!" The big push was against homosexuality and abortion - and the traditional Christian concern for "the poor" was relegated to almost an afterthought.
