37. Right Wing, Bush-Cheney loving Republicans?
Hell, I live among them, work with them ... many are my kin. Oh yeah, it's a real freak show in rural Virginia. For example, within two miles of my home is a driveway sporting "lawn jockey." Yah, you know what? I kid you not. Don't even get me started about all the over sized picky up trucks with bumper stickers of the "stars and bars." :P

But when I go to my Catholic Church the Sunday before the Presidential election, I review a convoluted letter by a right wing activist bishop who, in essence, is telling me that I (a practicing Catholic) will "burn in hell" if I don't vote for George Bush.

Yes - that "God Fearing" George Bush, a man and his family who rarely attend church services. That makes no sense what so ever. Well, second to the fact that right wing religious nuts (of all stripes) believe that THEY can LEGISLATE MORALITY. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jesus would prefer that his children use their free will to arrive at the right decision NOT to have morality beat into them via intrusive laws?
