re: And it grows with each passing day. I have a suspicion there is a 'silent majority' who are about ready to raise their ugly heads and bite off the necks of these religious cacklers. I think I read that people who described themselves as "evangelicals" were 20% of voters in the last election. That's a nice firm block, but by playing to that crowd, the Reps are risking a backlash by a significant percentage of the other 30% of voters that supported them in '04. And let's say that the Dems got 5% of the evangelical vote [and probably that's high]. That leaves a 'silent majority' of 75% in this country. They only need to get a voice. They are sort of stuck; the evangelicals think they got Bush elected. If the Reps don't pander to them, the evangelicals might not show up at the polls in '06. You could see that with Frist's radio broadcast Sat. He claimed that judges were going after people of faith but he refused to condemn the judges on the T. Schiavo case. That's a very tight tightrope. ;~) ted
