No, but they very well might be.

No.
But, not for any reason you could likely muster, but because the concept of your question is fundementally correct - yet bigoted in itself.
I have to assume that you are not brain dead for a moment, and I don't think that religious fundementalists should make descisions for everyone, nor should they be ignored. Ignoring fundementalist groups is how countries like Germany - otherwise strong and moral countries - fall into the hands of hatred and bigotry of a religious fundemental groups.
On the other hand, you could just be trying to stir something up and have absolutely no concept - except, of course a sudointellectual need to make yourself heard - of what you are saying.
Bigotry doesn't fix bigotry.

If I understand your question,
You ask, should political parties grant concessions at the expense of principle to groups who favor their own religion and are intolerant of those who hold different beliefs.
I would have to respond, "No." Political parties err when they abandon principle in order to court the favor of special interests. Moreover, the United States stands upon a foundation of tolerance and religious freedom.
So I agree with you in principle. We may part ways upon further defining your views to specific practical applications. But as a statement of general policy (if I appropriately understand your quesiton), we agree.

a big No but unfortunately political parties will do whatever it takes to win sad fact look at the other issues before you vote look at other issues look beyond the current bigoted issues and its only one issue not saying its not important of course it is but what about health education etc etc what is most important to you in just surviving maybe its a green issue don't let bigots win your vote counts don't let propaganda win look at the issues that effect you and vote sensibly having looked at the broader issues

yes and so should political parties ,they are meaningless anyway ,they do nothing to affect the present control which has been here for ever
most presidents(34) are related to the same family in France Charlemagne ,and politics has for ever been a farce for the sake of the gullable public ,
the control has always been a clan thing.
and the clan is run by people who are posing as religious bigots
full circle

This is stupid. SOME people feel that religion is not an issue but obviously they are the minority. The election process is for the issues that the people want and THAT is what the people wanted.

They shouldn't be as they are expected to represent all of their constituants. But some do pander to them to try and gain a few extra votes.
