@ Tak and Duc... you know what, you're Deuce to me from now on. That sounds cool enough to be a nickname, and it fits with my prerogative of developing a short name for everyone.

I doubt the Republican party is trying to attract either one of you, at least, not here. I'm a pretty devout Christian and they aren't doing much to attract me, either. I prefer that religion become seperate from policy.

As we all know, the GOP has a very strong and active Christian demographic that they cannot afford to lose, so they will continue to court their vote. Politically speaking, you just can't put a price on that kind of often blind) devotion, so don't expect them to do anything differently unless the Dems, many years from now, make a successful play for the religious right.

All that aside, these people still have a right to assemble and they have a right to their views. There is no sense in directing your anger or efforts at them. It would be better spent ensuring that they are not given a tool with which to make religious priorities policy.
