Whoa - that's your party's fear tactic, not mine.
I personally believe in God, and don't consider a belief in him to be silly in the slightest.
I vehemently oppose legislation of those beliefs. Something the religious right is demonstrably for.
Additionally, I have never stated that the 59 million people who voted for Bush are religious wignuts. I have too many Republican friends to think that.
Bush, however, is who was being voted for - and he IS a right wing religious wing nut, openly interested in using the power of his office to further the agenda of the Religious Right. He is the man voted into office - not the large majority of Republicans who voted for whatever issue was important to them (which was their right). And this is a focal area for him - per him!
The fact that you would say this is evidence to me of Republican party spin (all democrats look down on religion). The same as Democratic left wingers that call all Republican voters toothless born agains with no brain of their own.
I'll put it this way - if Kerry had said "I will try to make abortion illegal" I would have voted for Nader.
I have no problem with Religion. I have a big problem with it determining policy, or being used as a guide to amend the constitution of the United States.
Is that 'silly'?
