Huffington and Raw Story have it--these guys don't like ANY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — A group of influential Christian conservatives and their allies emerged from a private meeting at a Florida resort this month dissatisfied with the Republican presidential field and uncertain where to turn.

1. I don't trust them for one minute.
Many of them are sincerely angry, but many of them are power hungry and will support he nominee.

3. Who cares what they think?
In case you didn't notice back in November, you Christofascists lost your moderate wing--ONE THIRD of you voted Dem. You don't have the numbers OR the agenda to swing an election anymore. In other words, your reign of "influence" is OVER!

7. This may be BushCo's one positive contribution--

that is, the weakening of this type of influence.

4. It's Pat Robertson's turn to shine!!!
In 1988 he told us that God told him that he was going to be president. God doesn't lie - He must not have told Pat when as a test of his faith. Well, God doesn't lie! it's Pat's turn! Just think how our enemies will perceive us when we've got a commander-in-chief who's all for assassinating the leaders of other countries, can leg lift 2000 pounds, and can command the weather?

DRAFT PAT - 2008!!!

5. Now this is just downright scary......
"Mr. Norquist said he remained open to any of the three candidates who spoke to the council or to Mr. Romney. He argued that with the right promises, any of the four could redeem themselves in the eyes of the conservative movement despite their past records, just as some high school students take abstinence pledges even after having had sex."

6. LOL He even said "secondary virginity."

Maybe that applies to the good Rev. Haggard?

9. If I start laughing,
the laughter will soon turn to tears, then to hysteria. Ok, consider this hateful group of people...not a word about lifting the poor out of poverty; not a word about helping the sick, the needy, widows, or orphans; not a word about anything the Jesus they claim to follow preached about in the Sermon on the Mount. Instead, we get hate...hate against gays, about a woman's right to choose, about allowing other religions to follow their own faith, and we are also treated to the spectacle of Christians in favor of owning guns.

War? Sure, no problem. No taxes? Of course, they have what they need, so to hell with "the least among ye". The only disagreement apparently comes from some of the religious nuts having friction with some of the pro-business nuts on the matter of trade restrictions. What a vile, hateful, corrosive bunch of people. No wonder people were left to drown and starve in New Orleans. Wrong color, don't you know.

I think I'd rather die of starvation, than to accept a few crumbs from them, if it meant endorsing their views. Apparently, none of the candidates, as hateful as their views are, are hateful enough to satisfy this group of loathsome vipers. Many Americans have, sadly to say, become infected with the spite and vitriol of this group of beings. I hesitate to even call them human, because to do so, would be to completely distort the meaning of "humane". Rabid wolverines are kinder.

12. "Vile, hateful, corrosive" --I couldn't have phrased it any better. This sounds
so naive, but I keep figuring these people all started out as innocent babies and children, and WTF happened along the way??? I think it must be generational, just hate handed down from one generation to another. Here in the Midwest we have Fred Phelps, the hate-filled anti gay "preacher," and his children are instrumental in his organization. It just depresses the heck out of me.

10. Don't worry, when push comes to shove,
They will fall in lock-step with whichever candidate floats to the top of the Republic Party.
