OK, Tink, while we're keeping it simple, here's what I'd really like
you to explain. I'd like to know what it is about right-wing politics
that apparently attracts a large chunk of, for lack of a better term,
rabid Christians.

Am I correct in assming that their is more to their faith than "God
loves you"? Surely they must find some sort of correlation between

the
tenets of their faith and party platform of the Republicans. If there
is no such correlation, could you explain apparent

Christian-Republican
attraction?

I was also thinking that it is a symbiotic relationship. They both get
something out of it. The politicians obviously get the votes they want;
the religious, get to feel like they are on the winning side. And
everyone know that if your god is worth a hoot, he should be able to
pick the winning side.

I was curious though, would you feel better if the religious were on
your side? TnT
