<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I mean, I'm personally pro-life but this is ridiculous! They make seem that abortion is the ONLY topic of any significance(!) that matters in American politics at the moment. They say we should vote either for Bush or the even further right-wing Constitution party candidate PURELY based on their VIEWS about one topic, abortion. The author says that yeah, those other little topics like:
-War
-Poverty
-The death penalty
-Crime
-Drugs
-Unemployment
-Corporate corruption
-Government ineptitude
-The economy
-Health care
-Social security
-Education
-Homosexual rights
-Race issues
-The multi-trillion dollar deficit
-Workers wages
-Globalization
-Mega-corporate-monopoly-mergers
-Media consolidation
-Wellfare for poorer Americans
-Dealing with terrorist threats
-Tax cuts, pros and cons
...are not NEARLY anywhere near as important as abortion. This is the ridiculous non-sense that right-wingers have used to hook culturally conservative Christians with. Many of whom care most about three things: abortion (against), homosexuality (against), and gun control (against). Republicans exploit this narrow-mindedness and make promises out of their asses about supporting the Cons. Christians' views. Then, once they are elected, they only pay lip-service to these issues or make symbolic gestures like writing amendments to the constitution to ban Gay marriage. Then while no one is looking (and since they've spent so much time convincing voters that only cultural issues are important and that politics aren't, it doesn't take long for this to happen), they start following their real agenda which is mostly harmful to the culturally conservative (typically working-class) Christians who voted them into office in the first place(!). Their agenda consists of being pro-corporate monopoly (no matter what), anti-tax--especially for the rich (no matter what), pro-military, pro-deficit spending (that's a whole different topic...), anti-education, anti-healthcare, anti-welfare, anti-social security, and basically they are against any kind of social programs for the poor. They want to privatize everything, and I mean EVERYTHING (usually at the expense of the average citizen) and make the country into a corporate-run social-darwinist state where the rich always have the upper hand and the poor are poor because it's their own fault and are undeserving of help.
...man I'm pissed off, but I hope I shed a little light on how I see the Republicans taking advantage of conservative Christians in this country...</div>
