They are even scaring the Christian conservatives.

No one can honestly question my commitment to pro-life, pro-family, conservative causes. That being said, the Religious Right, as it now exists, scares me.

For one reason, on the whole, the Religious Right has obviously and patently become little more than a propaganda machine for the Republican Party in general and for President G.W. Bush in particular. This is in spite of the fact that both Bush and the Republican Party in Washington, D.C., have routinely ignored and even trampled the very principles which the Religious Right claims to represent.

Therefore, no longer does the Religious Right represent conservative, Christian values. Instead, they represent their own self-serving interests at the expense of those values.
While one wonders who this guy voted for in the past, two elections, It's good to see that his brains haven't entirely leaked out of his ears as has those of so many others.

Lets hope its contagious and he has a big mouth.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

This is amazing, and one can only hope that a) more honest religious conservatives think like this guy, and b) either the Dems or a serious moderate Rep can capture this guy's vote.

It is good to see that he's understanding how the current administration's agenda is about protecting the wealth and status of the most powerful people on earth all at the expense of the middle class and the poor. It is against the best interests of the citizens so many so-called Red States to support Bush, and yet tragically so many have done just that...
