Let the single issue zealots go form their own party, we don't need them. When they are gone the GOP will gain more than enough moderate voters from the Democrats to replace the Religous Zealots .

Thanks for at least being honest. I will tell you right now that the Republican Party will be in big trouble if they decide to reject Christian conservatives. I know you don't like to hear this but some six out of seven voting-age Americans are Christians.

What makes evangelical Christians so powerful, Pew found, was their consistency on the issues. "The fact that this group expresses a consistent set of conservative political attitudes and is extremely active politically makes evangelicals Christians a powerful voting bloc,They're more apt to vote than other groups. With priorities going beyond core moral concerns over abortion and homosexuality, two-thirds of self-proclaimed religious conservatives are likely to vote, versus roughly half of all Americans.

This is a very powerful bloc and if people like you say we can get these votes from moderates, think again.

You are an excellent example of the old saying that "Liars Can Figure But Figures Don't Lie". If your claims were true then the GOP should be winning elections by huge majorities but the truth is that isn't happening and it isn't going to happen.

You and your ilk will do whatever it takes to implement the Theocracy that you crave. If that means twisting the facts and lieing to meet your goals then so be it.

The Truth is that most Christians don't buy your warped agenda and your kind have forced more people away from the GOP and into the arms of the Democrats than you have ever brought to the table.

The GOP has always been about Fiscal Conservatism, now your kind are willing to sacrifice that heritage at the alter of religous zealotry.

Go away, we don't need you and don't want to be perceived as being associated with you. Take Roy and his rock with you when you go. And please don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on the way out.

I will pray for you LPM because you sure do have a lot of bitterness toward Christians.

Do that and the Republican party will be like the Tory party of Canada. A minority party and an ineffective antidote to the onslaught of cultural socialism.

You are an excellent example of the old saying that "Liars Can Figure But Figures Don't Lie". If your claims were true then the GOP should be winning elections by huge majorities but the truth is that isn't happening and it isn't going to happen. Um, havent you noticed that since 1988, GOP has won statehouses, state legislatures, and both houses of Congress???

You and your ilk will do whatever it takes to implement the Theocracy that you crave. If that means twisting the facts and lieing to meet your goals then so be it. I'd expect lies like this from a DU disruptor, not anyone claiming to It is an utter lie that cultural conservative politicians (think Santorum, or Pat Roberts, or Tom DeLay), or the evangelical voters, want a 'theocracy'.

The Truth is that most Christians don't buy your warped agenda What is 'warped' about - pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-fatherhood, pro-freedom-of-religious-expression, pro-values, etc.

What specific proposals of cultural conservative Republicans are so bad?

and your kind have forced more people away from the GOP and into the arms of the Democrats than you have ever brought to the table. Polls prove otherwise.

The GOP has always been about Fiscal Conservatism, now your kind are willing to sacrifice that heritage at the alter of religous zealotry. The modern American Conservatism that is the heart of the GOP has been about much more than green eyeshades. It has been build first on the essential belief in freedom and limited Government, and that property rights, low taxation and freedom are not just essential for proseperity but are rights of man; informed by the view that a people cannot long be free if they are not virtuous, and so belives in a Government that support family and moral values and doesnt undermine it; and believes in families and communities and voluntary organizations and groups, the 'little platoons' that make America the best nation on earth. It has been summed up as - faith, family and freedom. Knock a leg off and the chair falls down.

That's what they keep saying but, no, it's not even about that.
