my god the right is scaring me

as far as republicans go, i can deabate with the. at their core they have ideas which i can understand but may not agree with. the reason i so vehemently HATE the party now, is the influence of the religous right. the religous nutjobs have hijacked the party completely. republican politicians are forced to pander to these psychos. whats horrible about them is they want to change the country into a theocracy, a christian taliban. this is just like all our enemies in the middle east...i dont know how people can keep voting them in. they dont even deny they want a christian republic. ive seen a film docu (god's next army) about a college they opened its call Patrick HEnry College. They opened it with the intention of recuruit homeschooled christian kids and turn them into politicians. these people have a direct line to washington. many of them go right into the whitehouse as interns or other places in government. while at the college these kid who have already lived such sheltered lives are further sheltered and restricted. in their science class they are only allowed to learn creationism. its fucking nuts.
then i see a trailer to another docu called JEsus Camp. this is about how the evangelicals want to indoctrinate christian kids just like muslims. they even admit its where they got the idea. they say they want kids willing to die for the gospel like kids are ready to die for the koran. this isnt some crazy offshoot group either. the pastor who runs it has an 18 million dollar mega church and one of the biggest followings in the country. he also has a weekly conference call with president bush.
my god we have to stop these people. i encourage conservatives to jump ship and stop voting for their psycho candidates. Go libertarian , support true conservatism. these people are going to destroy this country if you dont. shit vote democrat just to offset the balance a little. dont let the right run everything. its not like the dems can change all that much anyway. we need a good yin and yang to keep everyone in check.
wathc the trailer clips!!! www.jesuscampthemovie.com

Ya, I saw that, too. Frankly, however, I think the answer is to learn to compete with them. They're teaching these kids how to play the political game, so the left needs to do the same.

i dont think its a left v right thing...i mean all these religous whackjobs are on the right but i mean what they are trying to accomplish is completely unconstitutional. the right needs to be up in arms too. thing is the whackos provide the right with so many votes they just appease them. the real conservatives need to stop selling out for votes...sure u might lose a few elections without them but shit, stand up for what u truly believe in..eventually if your ideas are good enough the populace will come around. i believe these religous nutsos are much like the nutso mulims, a common enemy. a common enemy to anyone who believes in real freedom and equality.

We fight religious fanatic across the ocean, not in our back yard! Those people are called 'the political base' and are important to our political ambitions.

Will someone please point out the Democrat who does not pander to the god fearing idiots just like the Republicans do. Frankly, I think both groups are arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin and they both suck on this issue, i.e. accepting the notion of a sacred text as authoritative.

Gotta get votes somewhere! Perhaps that is why the Dems have fallen so far since 2000.
I am not recommending following any religious zealots, I just see that the Rep did exploit 'the base' and all Dem's got was the label 'liberal' turned into 'Satan's prostate massager'
The country has more liberal spending now than 1999, but i guess I'll just wait for a Reb to come argue that it is all necessary for national security.
Karl Rove is my propagandist hero! The man is a genius. Turn a word that was always associated with Dem's into a four letter bomb; that even today, is considered taboo by most mainstream Dem's.

I hate both sides equally. Republicans are heartless racist pricks. Democrats are whiney losers that don't do anything productive and do nothing but point fingers instead of offering solutions.
GO LIBERTARIANS!

ill take religious nuts any day of the week over anarchists and radical extremists. At least the religious want to keep society intact. But both parties, and all politics, is a bunch of shit.

Errr WRONG. Look at the records of what each party has done. The environment is a biggy. Look at the records of upholding the constitution, the left is fighting to protect it. Torture and invasion of privacy will be a thing of the past is the democrats could gain power. Look at every issue, gay marriage, the war on terror- the logical, more caring politicians, they're always on the left. Yes, they'll make money for themselves from corporations, but they don't sacrifice really important things, like human life, by doing so. They look out for America as well. That is the difference between the two parties. You can say they're evil, but one is less than the other. Look at the examples of which president was on which side. There is one thing worse than a con, its someone who says "fuck it they both suck don't vote, or vote for someone that won't even win just to take a stand" that is horrible logic and in my opinion you side with the right.
-------------------- I don't think for myself. I think as though I'm explaining my thoughts to someone else. I'm concerned only for those listening.

Heaven forbid you vote for someone who's views you agree with. A huge reason why third parties never stand a chance if because of shitty, deafeatists attitudes like this.
