Let the GOP run Brownback in '08, and sit back and wait for the "Brownback Mountain" jokes to begin!
UM, clearly he forgets that the local papers turned on Santorum for lying about his residency in order to gain the PA Senate seat. He hasn't lived in PA for nearly 2 decades, and the house where he and his family of seven allegedly lived in PA was far too small for them, and had been vacant for his entire term in the Senate.
Hmm, this am we had a press conference from conservatives who were blaming the religious right and neocons for hijacking the Republican party. C'mon you guys, you can all split up into 3 separate parties - there's nothing in the Constitution that says we have to have only 2 parties. Put your own handpicked candidates out there and see if the people support you. I know, it would be an act of faith. But you keep telling us God is on your side. Prove it. Dump those misguided Republicans who've turned their backs on you and show them how it's really done!!!

Let the GOP nominate Brownback.
That will ensure a Dem. majority for years to come.
The only Repbulicans that have a shot in 2008 are the moderate ones.
This election proved that.
But - hey - if the religious right wing fringe want to fool themselves -I am all for that.
The fact is - the radical religious right has had its heyday and it is now officially over.
That's right. God got pissed off. The only politicians who will ever come close to winning an election again are those from the "every sperm is holy" crowd. That's why true religious conservatives were swept into office on God's coattails yesterday.
Doesn't this guy have a couple new homos to deprogram or something?
I figure it this way - 10 years is a long time, so in 2016, based on how fast everything global warming-wise is going, that all of this nit wit anti-science and anti-freedom crap will fall by the road side. It is like worrying about the color of the beach chair seats when the tsunami is coming at you 400 miles an hour or fighting about regular versus diet coke when the famine is everywhere. They won't matter, won't get the attention anymore, won't even be on the radar anymore. Anyone worrying about the poor blacksmiths anymore or the stables?, no they are long gone and not missed. Although the horse based economy was likely better.
I think the Republican and Democratic Parties should split up into smaller parties. There are so many conflicting agendas going on it is amazed that both parties haven't been committed for multiple personality disorder. I mean, how can the supposed moral majority handle being in the same room with the cut-throat, "anything for the bottom line" conservatives? Does the beleaguered suburban homeowner who just wants to keep their taxes down really care if their party does not base gays at every opportunity or invade every oil bearing country in the Middle East. I would like to have a party committed to social justice issues and civil rights issues and important matters like universal health care, and not have to comprise on candidates with politicians who are basically Repugs in Dem clothing.
Wha...?
The Morning-After pill is a deadly drug? That's crazy...
This shows how warped this wingnut is, and what the pro-choice movement is up against.
I have only giggles to add to this conversation. This is so fun to watch.
yup, form their own religious party and advance their own ranting, bigoted candidates. i'd love that.
Wow, the logic of saying that people voted for politicians who never supported this stuff because the were too disgusted with those who abandoned these issues is just crazy talk! Given the source though should we be surprised?
"really care if their party does not base gays at every opportunity"
It took me a minute to realise that you meant "bash" gays, Josh. In the meantime I was thinking that "San Francisco Values" Speaker Polosi must have a new program in place already: "The US will no longer base soldiers around the world, but instead will base gays..." Sweet dreams are made of this...

Scott--
That is a massively brilliant idea! Let 'tm out their money (faith?) where their mouth is!
I love how those sneaky Dems nominated a pro-life candidate to neutralize Santorum. If being "pro-life" (at least till the point of birth) is so important to this guy, why would he care about the political affiliation of a candidate who agrees with him? This isn't about "pro-life", it's about partisan politics.
OT but on the theme of religious dummi, brain gumminess: i hear the pope is admonishing israel for entertaining the possibility of a gay pride parade on jerusalem. go get em ratzi! those jews and muslims just love to be told what's what by jesus's man in prada!
Damn. All the good lines were already taken in the comments above mine.
Dittos.
Pam, The ReThuglicans just got their clocks cleaned. So of course they are now going to have a long drawn-out struggle of the all against the all. The Grand Ol' Pervert Party is has many different groups: The focus on the freakshow bible beaters, The Big Business cabal, the PaleoCons, the Loopy Libertarians, The NeoCons and the Country Club Conservatives oh and dont forget the Self hatting GLBT suckers. So pull up a chair and make some popcorn it will be one hell of a show.
Brownback/Musgrave in 2008
bring it on!
hi Pam it was great to see you on CNN every so often, with my buddies TRex and Christy. But have you all figured out yet what that party was all about?
more OT!
the latest on Ted Haggard;s program for "rehabilitation" (soul death) on houston chronicle:
his new overseer said: "...we think in terms of what we call godly counsel, where godly men who are clean themselves insert themselves in the life of the one who is struggling...The symbolic laying on of hands may also be a part of the recovery"
wasn't it insertion and the 'laying on of hands' that started the whole mess for Ted? i recommend instead a laying on of hands by some godly women, boys, or poor Ted is just gonna keep comin, but never will come clean.

Kate is practically crying she's laughing so hard -- she said "that was the best comment ever." 
Whaaaaaaaaat?
These right wing religious preachers on ego trips putting out (paid) press releases to claim they are the XYZ Kingdom's largest advocates for XYZ Organization are about to wear out my last gay nerve.
Quack Quacks Quacks.
No sir, Americans rejected the fundie extremist assaults on American government en masse yesterday.
Our favorite local preacherclown Rev. Rick Scarborough of Lufkin, Texas based Vision America spend the last three months in Missouri and South Dakota only to lose in both States. He was on the state at rallies every week with Dobson, megab*ch Janet Folger, father of the year Alan Keyes, and every other clown they could assemble.
And guess what, they lost on stem cells and they lost on abortion restrictions. God bless you Micheal J. Fox for coming out to share your battle!
If any "War on Christians" is going on then it began yesterday evening when the polls closed whenmainstream American (including many Christians fed up by the nonsense and hypocracy of James Dobson and friends) said NO NO NO to the religous right's lack of values.
Why not save yourself the $100-$200 fee to put out that press release Mr. Preacherman and instead donate the money to feed the poor. Do something Christian, anything! Say something that makes sense.
EAST TEXAS HATE WATCH
Pissin' off god is so much FUN because it is so ENTERTAINING!
One little problem with this guy's premise is that Jim Talent DID come out against stem cell research & it killed him.
The "split up in to smaller parties" idea is a good--in European parliments. There, you *have* to build up coalitions, and the withdrawal of support from a small party when you have a slim majority can cause a standing government to collapse.
Unfortunately, I don't think our system is set up that way because we insist on giving states that are mostly rocks and prairie equal weight with states with 40 million people in them.
Oh, and Reverand? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Please run Sam Brownback for President. Please, please, pretty please, with sugar on top!
