GOP is losing seats in the Midwest, Northeast, Intermountain west by playing the Christian card too much. Think by 2008 GOP will wise up and bring in polticitans that are more moderate and not be a slave to the teo-con wing of the party, Or Democrats since thier not as curropted by god talk, but the tax issuses I dont agree with or gun control

The GOP can't lose the bible voters, it makes them competitive.

Not really sure where the question is here.
Why do people equate the entire GOP with a Religious extreme? Yes we do have a lot, but most GOP conservative values come from from love, empathy, and respect of all humanity. Is it fair to say because you care about the lives and welfare of people, in general, that you must be some kind of "christian" religious wacko? We don't turn our backs on those who need us. That should be a sign of integrity, not to be impugned by those who are only out for themselves (ie., many Democrats), who'd probably screw over their neighbor in a minute.
This election was about people turning their backs on the Republican party, not about a huge rise to Democrat ideals. People just wanted a change. This is proved by looking at the questions on the ballots across the country, you will see that most of the country voted in line with conservative values completely contrary to the people they were voting for.
P.S. To the person using the screen name JURK, you say the GOP couldn't add two and two, at least I can spell LIAR.

The Christians you are talking about don't come from following the Bible, for if they did they would never consider voting for liers, cheaters, or murderers reguardless of what party they claim affiliation. Any person who reads the bible is smart enough to see through a politicians lies by their actions.
GOP's are not smart enough to add 2 and 2

You don't agree with fair and sensible taxes. That's too bad.
And gun control? Oh please. How many people need MILITARY arms for PERSONAL defense? SOME gun control IS sensible.
