“American Faith Party” Is the religious monster the Republicans created about to devour them?


It’s no longer the party of country club power brokers.  Religious extremists are now the establishment in the Republican Party.

In his post,  "Rise Of Faith Within GOP Has Created America's First Religious PartyHoward Fineman has effectively defined the evolution of the Republican Party from country club to religious extremist. 

This is an excerpt transcribed from the video:

“The Conservative movement under Ronald Reagan and even under the Bush family was a kind of three legged stool that had economics in one leg, strong foreign policy especially anti-Communism on the second leg and the social issues, primarily abortion, on the third. 
Well what’s happened is; the first two have kind of fallen away and all the energy and enthusiasm even, if not especially, during a time of economic problems in this county, seems to be in this area. And it’s not just abortion; it’s questions of, definitions of, marriage traditional marriage gay marriage and so forth; even questions about contraception. 
We are getting to really fundamental questions about what the government can say about faith practice and what faith practice says about government.
It evolved since evangelicals first got involved with Ronald Reagan thirty years ago. Now basically people who used to be used by the establishment of the Party have become the establishment.”

FROM: 

Voters know that the  Republicans own the depression. No amount of spin can change that. Their unmentionable solution to end the depression they created is to eliminate Social Security and Medicare and cut taxes for the wealthy. So instead of talking about those things they talk abortion, contraception and gay marriage

Pennsylvania’s HB 1077, ironically called the “Women’s Right to Know” act, is Pennsylvania Republican’s version of the vaginal probe laws the Republicans are concocting in each state. One hundred twenty PA House members have co-sponsored the bill including Chester County’s Tim Hennessey. 

The vaginal probe laws are sure fire winners among the Republicans Evangelical, and Catholic base. But how will the government vaginal probes sit with the normal people? The 

Republicans in the US Senate are backing away from the anti-contraception Blunt Amendment.  But about the time of the fall elections personal stories of vaginal probes will be circulating. The Republican Party can't win with their severe anti-women agenda. And Republicans are stuck with pushing vaginal probes into women.  

The instant Romney is the Republican Party pick he will do an about face on his public statements concocted to please religious nuts.  But old-time establishment Republicans like Romney don't fit into the new America Faith Party, God's Only Party or what ever name finally sticks.  

Is the religious monster the Republicans created about to devour them?
