God's Senator
Who would Jesus vote for? Meet Sam Brownback

<snip>

After little more than a decade in Washington, Brownback has managed to position himself at the very center of the Christian conservative uprising that is transforming American politics. Just six years ago, winning the evangelical vote required only a veneer of bland normalcy, nothing more than George Bush's vague assurance that Jesus was his favorite philosopher. Now, Brownback seeks something far more radical: not faith-based politics but faith in place of politics. In his dream America, the one he believes both the Bible and the Constitution promise, the state will simply wither away. In its place will be a country so suffused with God and the free market that the social fabric of the last hundred years -- schools, Social Security, welfare -- will be privatized or simply done away with. There will be no abortions; sex will be confined to heterosexual marriage. Men will lead families, mothers will tend children, and big business and the church will take care of all.

7. I LOVE that he's in the race thought...he's the patron saint of the American Taliban.
His candidacy could completely polarize the Repugs, and we can finally drive a stake into their hearts (or whatever substitute organs they have).

8. The Republican leadership isn't that stupid
Edited on Sun Jan-21-07 09:03 PM by GeneCosta
They don't want McCain and Giuliani to run, that's for sure, but putting up someone openly on par with Bush or right of him would be a disaster. They need to slide a Romney person in after making nice-nice with the Religious Right.

10. Good, glad he's boring
then he won't get any attention. Of all the candidates, this guy is wacked out more than most. Just what we need, another fundy nutcase going for an American Theocracy. :puke:
