re: The historic principles of the Republican Party offer America its best hope for a prosperous and secure future. Our current fixation on a religious agenda has turned us in the wrong direction. It is time for Republicans to rediscover our roots.

I think Danforth is right, the Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot. They are leaving the mainstream, splintering, just as they claim that's a Dem problem.

Here is an article specifically about FL - sun-sentinel.com

They need to get their act together or they will be in trouble in '06.

Danforth is wrong about focusing on the word Christian rather than fundamentalist Christian-Zionists. He should also include the fanatic fundamentalist Jews in his formula. In fact, the radical fundamentalist Jews have far more power in the White House and Congress than fundamentalist Christians. You can verify this by simply looking at the votes on legislation concerning Israel or Jewish matters in general. Congress will always vote close to 100% for any legislation concerning Israel or Jews. There is rarely any significant debates when the Jewish/Israeli lobby pushes a bill. When the Jewish state (some 4.5 million Jews) needs $10 billion in
guaranteed loans, Congress approves without debate. If the Jewish lobby demands another $4 billion for general their general welfare, Congress approves without debate. In 2003 the Jewish lobby got some $17 billion for Israel.($10 billion in guaranteed loans, $3 billion for energy (oil) guarantees, and another $4 billion in general foreign aid. That amounted to $16,000 for each Jewish family of four living in Israel.

The so called Christian-Zionist lobby could never produce such results. Ziochristians are simply collaborators.

"The problem is not with people or churches that are politically active. It is with a party that has gone so far in adopting a sectarian agenda that it has become the political extension of a religious movement."

This is what is most disturbing. They are behaving more and more like a religious party, and not a political one.
