    The most I can hope for

    Is that the evangelicals will just sit on their butts on election day because no party really cares what their group of bigotry fanatics care about. I'm hoping that one day they will be regulated to the staus of the KKK, legally able to exist but discounted by the majority, laughed at and basically sitting around useless.

    I'm solidly waiting for the day when being anti-abortion or anti-gay or evolution is nonsense just makes people point and laugh at you except for the few nutbags who were raised into the hate just like when David whatshisface goes on Howard Stern to be the butt of everyone's jokes.
