"This is our government at work, and unfortunately it is run by Republicans."

-- Rev. Pat Robertson, quoted by the Manassas Journal Messenger.
There are some stories out today about the dissatisfaction by the American taliban with their annoited party, the Republicans. They're complaining that they haven't received the social reforms they were promised.

First, I would dispute that the Republicans haven't delivered. But they think our cultural movement back to the dark ages is moving at a snails pace. They're threatening to sit on their hands in the mid-terms, and perhaps even form a new party.

This should be the beginning of re-marginalizing these nutbars. Republicans have promised (via wedge issues) to deliver for years and the likes of Jerry Falwell have fallen for the shell game every time. Then, bowing to majority common sense, Republicans do the switcheroo and never really deliver. Later, rinse, repeat.

I think the fundamentalist should run Judge Roy Moore in 2008. He would be perfect radical cleric presidential candidate for these folks. It would also put these wacko's right back where they belong.
