Why does being Christian matter to the RW'ers when it comes to electoral politics?
"I'm voting for the more Christian candidate."

This is one of the most intelligent ways on how to decide how to vote for a person.

:sarcasm:

Who cares about their experience?

What's their domestic policy? Who cares!

Does the candidate know ANYTHING about foreign politics and international diplomacy? If you're concerned about this, you're just a champagne sipping elitist Marxist.

I'm voting for the Christian!

Yes, and we know how much this nation has prospered soooo much with people such as George W. Bush and Tom DeLay running the show, guys whose platforms were "Vote for me, I'm a Christian!" Just ignore the quagmire, the record deficit, and perhaps the biggest political division in American History that these so-called christians have given us.

1. Because fundies are self-absorbed narcissists
Their only concern is that everyone is supposed to be like them in every way.

3. "I'm voting for the more Christian Candidate"
meaning I will vote for the candidate who will support defunding the government so it cannot help the poor and middle class to any great extent, but who covers this up with piety and a front of innocence while in the background who can act as the biggest effing hypocrite and greedhead!

Ralph Reed comes into view.


Ralph Reed has come to a very timely political end and thank GOD!

2. Because their IQ matches the vehicle of the rhetoric ...
meaning, their IQ, if they believe this crap, is the same as the bumper sticker that they got the rhetoric from ...
