No but Viguerie includes the Christian Right in the groups that he
lumps
together. They exist as organized groups that are able to be
represented
when they whole mess work together.
Are you claiming that there is no Christian Right? All Christians
are
left wingers?

Mike, I live here in Denver, only a short distance from Colorado
Springs, and Focus on the Family. During the recent election, noone
ever knocked on our door. I did receive a few calls, reminding me to
vote. Not necessarily right or left, just vote.
Nationally Colorado voted for Bush, but locally, we voted blue. The
Statehouse was taken over in both the Senate and House by Dems, and we
sent two new dems to the US Congress. If the FC's were such a powerful
and overwhelming force in poitics, you would think they would have more
sway here at home. But we are a really confused lot here in Colorado,
must be the high altitude!
Fact of the matter, there is a growing number of Christians involved in
the political process but they are not all right wing conservatives,
just willing to be active and involved, and can make alot of "noise".
The media loves noise, gives them something to talk about. TnT
