What purpose do these crazy threads serve? The ultra-judgmental foolishness of right wing loonies is what costs Republicans elections.
Funny that the ultra-judgmental foolishness of the left wing loonies doesn't cost the Dhims elections.
Are you sure that it isn't just crappy candidates?
Do you consider the Bible foolishness or just those who believe it?
No, what cost the election for Republicans is rino candidates like mcinsane.
While I agree with your question as to what articles like this serve, I take issue with your latter statement. I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing that I'm a "hate-mongerer" or "loony" just because I do not believe children should be ripped out of wombs or that men should carry on with other men (or beasts for that matter). If this is what "cost" the Republicans the election than I'm fine with that. However, please note that the campaign was run against George W. Bush, a moderate-NOT a "right wing loon".
If the Republican party wishes to abdicate their focus on moral ethics, then I for one will be happy to sit out of our election process rather than try to decide which abortionist I'm going to vote for. There is no difference and I can save the gallon of gas in my drive to the polls. The Republicans talk a good fight when soliciting campaign donations but many certainly don't stand up for these issues when the heat is on for fear of being called all sorts of nasty names. The moderates of the party have done nothing but run it into the ground.
I'd much sooner give my support to a principled minority party than to give it to an unprincipled minority party. Bring on a moral and fiscally responsible party and I'll join in a heartbeat. I'm tired of "moderates" getting along. There is no "governing from the center" on issues like abortion and homosexuality.
