    What did they expect?

    The Evangelical Christian's used the Republican party to further their "Religious Agenda" of making this a Christian nation! Of imposing their Christian belief's upon every American! Of excluding everyone they deem to be undesirable from the American dream! Of having their every whim catered to by syphocant politician's! What did they expect? Respect from people who were using them and religion to win elections? Get real!!! I can not feel remotely sorry for these people! They got what they ask for! I for one am fed up with the religion in politic's! I am tired of these people shoving their religion down my throat ( I have my own)! It's time to start enforcing the separation of church and state! It's what made this country great! If we don't go the extra mile to get religion out of politic's it's going to destroy us in the end! The fact they put in a incompetent man into office strickly because he was Christian should be telling these people something! But I doubt it does! That's been the problem for 6 years now. George Bush was not qualified to do the job!
