LOL good point

Not everyone thinks all Republicans and right leaning people are total psycho's.

You having a bad day? You seem to be letting things get to you more than usual.

True enough, that is why I push for everyone to vote third party. I don't care if it is Green, Socialist, Communist, Libertarian, Constitution wherever your personal beliefs lie. If everyone continues to vote for "the lesser of two evils" which is what virtually everyone at the voting booth claims they are doing, the only possible result is evil. I would love if either of the two major parties came in third, it would show that voters are using their brains rather than simply towing the party line. Voting third party isn't throwing away your vote, it is protesting.

And seriously, do you think there would be any substantial difference between a Romney and Obama administration? Both will continue the Patriot Act, both will keep the current healthcare law, both will give loads of government money to corporate buddies the only difference being the exact name of the corporate buddies, both will continue to pursue pointless wars overseas, both will run huge deficits, both will ignore the social security problem, and neither one will work to repeal any of the stupid laws we have. There will be a few differences, Romney might cut taxes, Obama would probably spend a little more on pointless government programs but really the differences in their policies would simply be the transient ones. For the long term crucial decisions our country is making, both are pretty much on the same side. Both are supporters of a big, strong federal government and using government to solve all our problems.

dude i like the video i watch aaron ra myself its funny

I don't think there is so much religion trying to integrate faith into politics so much as they are trying to maintain the integration. Historically, religion has played a very powerful role in both parties. In modern times the democratic party has separated from its religious affiliations more quickly than the republican side of the spectrum probably mostly due to it embracing the gay rights and pro-abortion movements which pretty much keeps out most of the radical religions. A good example is blue laws which were pushed in many areas by religious fundamentalists. Some still exist today, especially the ones regarding alcohol, but they are slowly being repealed and as far as I know no blue laws have been passed in decades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_law This indicates to me that religion is losing its grip on politics.

Other examples of religious oriented laws are putting "in god we trust" on all of our paper money in 1957. Ironically, Theodore Roosevelt opposed putting the phrase on coins because he believed it was sacrilege.

The prohibition movement which led to the banning of alcohol sales was religiously motivated. And there are many "sin" taxes that were religiously motivated although the new trend is for such taxes to be supposedly motivated by a desire to improve general health. Religious groups routinely oppose plans to open strip clubs, adult stores, bars or casinos in certain areas. Although in recent years I believe they have been losing influence in these areas as well. 

I used to be heavily involved in the Republican Party and still travel in those social circles a little bit- one of the biggest complaints I heard about the tea party came from republicans complaining that the tea party members didn't care enough about the "social" (religious) issues. They saw the tea party as a threat every bit as much as my democrat friends. So there are certainly plenty of republicans that push for their religious morality to be enforced as law. Simply look at the massive movement against gay marriage and how riled up those crazies get. However, I believe the movement is shrinking and losing power. The very fact that we are discussing gay marriage today would have been unimaginable 30-40 years ago. Certainly it is stronger in rural bible belt type areas than urban areas.
