I have had it with the religious right and the GOP's pandering to them. They are a distraction to what must get done.

If the GOP could drop the holier than thou act and be the party of economic prosperity, low taxes and keeping government tiny and out of our lives we would OWN the country. But no -- instead we get evangelical senators who end up being repressed homosexual meth addicts. Oy. You wonder why our side has an image problem?

The GOP signed a suicide pact with people who believe the earth was created 5,000 years ago and that the party who is for small government should regulate things like who marries whom. You don't think that turns off independents? Look at the latest polls that show Romney having a better shot at beating Obama than Perry, who is more popular with the "base." I wonder why? Could it be because one holds prayer rallies?

This post exemplifies this. What in the HELL does some stupid billboard from god knows who have to do with getting Michigan back on track economically? Nothing. At. All.

It's a distraction. Just like the abortion wars are a distraction, gay marriage is a distraction, school prayer, etc. etc.
