  • Candidates to Repulse the Religious Right

    It can be argued that the Republicans lost because they alienated their religious right base either because the religious right a)is angry that the Republicans did not deliver on their promises or b) joined many other Americans in disgust at the hypocrisy of Republicans who preach religion and morality while wallowing in sin and corruption. So what is the best response? Nominate candidates such as Gingrich and Giuliano who flaunt their adulterous affairs? But don't stop there - how about Ted Haggard for VP? Some former congressional wife/mistress beaters are available to appeal to the female voter. Or perhaps a nice corrupt lobbyist to balance the ticket combining religion and capitalism at their worse. As a Democrat, I say: Republicans go for it. Flaunt your dark side.
