When you look at the candidates the repukes have running for 2008 - at least the ones which have a snowball's chance in Hell - it's clear that the religious reich does not have the power in the party that it once did.
Mitt Romney is the closest thing to a religious reich candidate, but the religious reich won't support him, because they consider the Mormon church to be a "cult". Guliani is a "gay loving baby killer" by their standards, and Newt's adultery, and horribly timed divorces are not worth defending.
Unfortunately, what has NOT changed in the GOP is the dominance of the BCE corporatist neocon wing of the party. Sure, they are trying damn hard to keep Chimpy's name out of the campaign, but make no mistake. Newt is a total neocon. Twit's Bain Capital is often partners with the Carlyle Group. Guiliani has been eyeballs deep in the BCE since the 9-11 coverup if not before.
It's business as usual for these assholes and THIS is the wing of the party that needs to be eliminated.
"If the American people had ever known the truth about what we (the BCE) have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." - Poppy Bush, 1992

Look at the dumb Mormons in Utah. They invited Bush to speak at BYU's graduation commencement. Bush sent Dick Chenney instead and he got an honorary doctorate for public service. Maybe the Mormon prophet owns lots of Haliburton shares?
Anyways, Bushco assumed most Republicans were just as stupid as the Mormons and they could do whatever they damn well pleased and still hold a Republican majority in congress.
Yeah, and the Evangelicals are dumping Mitt Romney just because he's a Mormon. Go figure...

The reich (or at least a percentage of them) realize their agenda and stance on "family values" have been hijacked this last go-round. The rest of the country realizes "pastors" are ineffective world leaders. Voting the bible has 2-termed the worst administration in history, and the rest of the world, who once looked up to the US, realizes we've become a bad parody of ourselves.
Any affiliation between church and state should be punishable and enforced.

Bullshit, the world has always hated us. The only reason people stuck by us in the first place was because we were the only ones who could handle the USSR. We have always been detested, but yet millions of people a year try to move here.
The headlines will tell you he is "regan lite" or whatever, but the man is honest and asks legit questions, which non of these other candidates of any stripe seems to have a clue to even KNOW to ask.
That's why I like him. He is a real leader.
Feel free to disagree but my decision to support him is not made lightly.
You guys should be more worried that Hillary is no Bill Clinton.
I believe I did say I like what he has to say on the issues and the questions he raises.
I enjoy his candor and agree on the majority of his positions on domestic issues. His foreign policy is a bit open-ended, but thoughtful (as I feel EVERYONE who is serious should be).
I see nothing on the Dem side but a candidate (Obama) who isn't prepared, a woman who can't unite a state let alone the union and a bunch of "also-rans" from previous cycles.
The Repub side has a few pretty boy types and two guys who aren't even real repubs running (McCain and Guliani).
Thompson is his own man and the only serious candidate to vote for.

You've gotta love how Republicans are always going on (and on) about "Holly-Weird" and the "Loony Left" being controlled by the media and vice cersa, and THE MINUTE you get a non-entity B-lister like Fred Thompson you GUYS CAN'T SHUT UP ABOUT HIM!!!
HE IS A NON-ENTITY!!! THE ONE REAL THING HE OFFERS IS HIS PSEUDO-CELEBRITY STATUS!!! GET THE HELL OVER IT!!!
Jesus, next thing you know you guys will be creaming yourselves over some schmuck who starred in something like "Bedtime for Bonzo". Sheesh!
