Reply #4: This put the fundies back another 20 years [View All]

Look, back in 2000, 2002, and 2004 they pushed as hard as they could to get into politics. And it worked! They got Bush elected, they ended up getting both houses of congress in 2002. They had the Jesus Christers like Frist, Delay, that asshole from Kansas, the pResident, along with Alito and Roberts on the SC.

And what happened? The PR machine against fags, abortions and the "Libs will take your gus" ran its course. They were able to tap into enough people's emotions for a few years to win some key races. But as they were preaching these things some real issues were starting to make into the minds of the majority of Americans. Iraq, the "real" economy of lower wages, shitty healthcare if any, the dollar dropping, housing falling apart, social security, environment, etc. These things started trupming the BS Christian PR.

The people finally woke up to what was going on with these nuts. The harder they pushed the harder the pushback. And boy was it a dramatic pushback on Tuesday.

The most important thing in my eyes is that if a void opens on the SC then a complete nutjob will not be confirmed.
