"If/when McCain loses, their next step will be to form an overtly Christian party, with Sarah out front, and I think they will put the Republican Party out of business."
Good idea, fine with me. Except I don't necessarily want the Republican Party out of business; we need devil's advocates (pun loosely intended), we need other perspectives to challenge and think through our own. Instead, I'd like the Republican party AS IT IS NOW out of business. Extract the overtly Christian element. No more pandering to the baseness of their base. Let the so-called Christians fight for the prize on their own, with their own. They'll lose. Our country's founders sought to ensure that. I'm definitely a fan of our founders.
It would be hard to find more blatant, despicable instances of NON-Christ-like behavior than those exhibited through the recent months of the current Republican campaign. Go ahead and cast that stone. Lie and malign. Ms. Palin is particularly adept at that. Call me crazy, but I don't think Jesus would approve.
My hopes are with people like "Jason the Firefighter."
