That's only because the crazy Evangelicals haven't realized that their pet issues are only really C list issues in the grand scheme of things.

You'd better not tell 'em, they'll all support someone else.

Actually, it's important because if they keep up their crap, Hillary will be our next president. Right now, some evangelical nitwits are considering running a third party candidate, which will just end up hurting the GOP. It's much better for them to work and compromise with the GOP than to go against it.

My dear, though I may like you personally (given the limitations of the medium via which we interact), the GOP vote being split would not break my heart. I wouldn't side polically with the non-rational for any reason. The main problem with Madfolk is they are not tame: you can't keep them under control. This would be fine if they were more intelligent and enlightened than the rest of us....but actually they live in the dark ages.
I tend to think of these things as the problems of the company folk keep. Hang out with madfolk and you'll get tarred with the same brush. I don't know how well up you are on this whole polarisation of rational and religious belief, but the religious madmen have started a process that must end either in them having huge influence on government, or being removed totally from the political debate.
And if they attain huge influence on your government be prepared for the Christian version of the Taliban....because that is what they are: scriptural fundamentalists, and like the Islamist and Jewish versions, they spend way too much time looking at the Old Testament.
I think they're all the same thing, actually.

Sp. Politically dammit.
