Evangelical Christians aren't stupid. They know the Republican party uses them. But they use the party as well. As long as there's a two-party system, nothing will change. Evangelical Christians will never, ever vote for the party that supports abortion rights or gay rights. That leaves them two choices. Vote Republican or not vote at all. If they do the latter, those pro-choice, pro-gay lefties will get elected. It's all about choosing the option that least sucks. That's the choice we've all been forced to make thanks to these two-party system. So no matter what Republicans call people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, their followers will still back the Republican candidates. This is why we need to get rid of political parties.
