12. Precisely
I suppose Dick Armey will now return every dime of campaign contributions he got from the fundies, right? Yeah, don't make me laugh. While they were his lucrative little toys, everything was fine between Armey and the fundies. Now? Oh, they're a bunch of thugs. Well, Chuckles, they formed a very important part of your base coalition for years and years and you guys sucked up their campaign contributions like so much water through a straw. Now they're looking for some kind of return besides a bunch of lip service for all their money and work and suddenly they're just thugs.

Greedy putz.

14. Dick Armey isn't House Majority Leader anymore
He doesn't have to pander to Dobson as a result. However, he's still a right-wing nutjob in his own right (pun intended.)

3. About Time, Too
The fundies have been getting away with their nasty bullying tactics for too long. If more Repubs stand up to them, their reign of terror will be over. And I am not referring to all Christians, just the nutjobs who think the Rapture is coming & want to hasten its' arrival. Those are the people who need to be stopped.

20. Dominionists are a really big problem...
I don't know if they all believe in the rapture, but they have a very real belief in doing away with democracy (as we know it) and establishing the rule of god in its place.

4. He's just noticing this?
The Republican party is made up of bullies. * being the prime example. They all act like they are on some school playground and never learned how to be civil.

17. Screw Dick Armey.
Too little, too late. The fundies are a plague on this country (yeah, just like the biblical locusts) and the Bush junta, enabled by it's core fundie base, has destroyed this great country.

18. The Christian Right are a gang of thugs and nasty bullies, BUT
that is the RW BASE! :rofl::rofl::rofl: They either embrace the thuggery or they lose! :rofl: This is what happens when you crawl in bed with thugs and bullies and take their BRIBES....you have to put up with their bullshit.

IF the repukes don't nominate a RW religious wacko nut job as their candidate in '08...Falwell, Dobson and Robertson will take their $$$$$$$$$$$ and run. The RWers are SCREWED. They lose their 'base', they're finished! :rofl::rofl: Now that their base knows they support pedophilia, they are in HUGE trouble.....PLUS, a religious zealot will NEVER get the nomination and THAT will piss off the religious right...BIG TIME. They've invested a ton of time and money on their hopes of a theocracy and it just isn't going to happen.

Buh Bye base! :rofl:
