Unhappy Evangelicals

Let me get my crying towel handy. I just read where right wingnut evangelicals aren't happy with Republicans. It seems they may sit out this year's election because the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would write discrimination into the constitution, wasn't passed. These "values voters" (only their values, mind you), wanted Congress to drop every other issue of importance to the country and pass their agenda. Of course the top of their agenda is a ban on the fundamental rights of gays and lesbians. This was more important than the war, corruption, health care, prescription drugs, voting integrity or the deficit.

Of course Congress tried. They ignored all those big issues too and took up the right wingnut agenda. They attempted to pass the glbt discrimination act, a flag burning amendment, poll taxes, the Terri Schiavo vegetable resusitation act, and other garbage. They simply didn't have the votes for most of it (the Schaivo legislation passed the Senate 3-0 in the middle of the night). See, our sytem says the majority rules. It also protects the rights of minorities, much to their dismay.

I'll really miss their participation in November's election. Here, let me get my crying towel....
