we must marginalize the fundies
Advertisements [?]
if we are to win.

the fundies are said to be 25% of Bush's base.

about half the voters voted for Bush - about 50 million people.

That means there are 12.5 million fundies who voted for Bush. Assuming 75% of them voted (which I would think to be a low estimate), that means 16.6 million actual fundies, out of 290 million Americans. That means fundies make up about 5% of the nation.

They are NOT great in numbers, people. They are like the Wizard of Oz, they look loud and intimidating, but they are really just little men behind the curtain, hoping you don't notice them.

We must be like Toto (the dog not the band), open the curtain and expose them as losers to the American people.

they are nothing more than a bunch of self-centered hypocrites who know nothing about Christianity, who want to tell YOU how to live your life. Sure, they only talk about gays now, but whats to stop them from putting their noses in YOUR business America?

They hate freedom; they hate people who do not live as they do; they live to control others. Is that America? Is that what the average joe wants?

I remember in school, everyone made fun of the religious fundies, who couldn't watch R-rated movies or drink, or swear. Whats to say that that sentiment didn't die as people grew up?

Let us not cower from these people. We should laugh at them. they don't represent people of faith, they are a bunch of extremists and should be treated as such. If we run a good campaign in 2008, America will end up hating the fundies and their power will die.
