republican Faith-based voters aren't very bright are they?

[Philosoraptor]

They are suckers, through and through, and reliable suckers at that. Look how they've been suckered for decades, centuries even. Its so, so easy to manipulate and exploit them, all it takes is a few obvious, well placed buzz words from a candidate, we all know what they are, just mention prayer, or faith, or the Lord, and you're in like Flynn.

Their lack of wit wouldn't be a problem if they didn't vote so reliably and faithfully, but when they do, they endanger us all, truly and deeply. To base your vote entirely on religious principles goes against everything this nation supposedly represents, but millions do, every election cycle, the republicans rely on the Christian conservative vote like our economy relies on Jesus' birthday to save the economy.

We need to stop the faith based voters from ruining our lives, and our nation with their blind faith and their lemming-like behavior, but how? Is there any way to counteract the ever-reliable faith based voter?

It may even be impossible to get through to a person who actually thinks that the creator of all things picked g.w. bush to save America from Satan's evil grasp. It may be pointless to try to persuade them that they are being royally fucked over and over again, and exploited, and tossed aside like a cheap plaything.

There's a sucker born every minute, and that's a fact of life, but that doesn't mean we have to let these same suckers run and ruin our lives like they do, so faithfully.

6. They are the spiritual descendants of Medeval Witch Burners, running in a straight line

up and through their more hideous recent incarnations like the Nazis.

Those groups and all of them in between are deeply related, on a psyhcological level, though some are obviously more "evil" than others and have wrought more damage, all possess that same limitless bottom to what they are capable of doing and/or accepting in terms of atrocities like the Holocaust.

And I still maintain that, given America's current psychological condition, collectively and with the application of just a couple more Bushie Shocks, there is no bottom limit to the atrocities WE are capable of either performing and/or accepting.

I hope I am wrong about this, but i see little evidence currently. Maybe it's that whole "it's always darkest before the dawn" thing.

7. The sweet Jesus is dead & replaced with the 'kill the infidels' Jesus

Once the faithful have accepted torturing our 'enemies' to death, and killing a million of them, all bets are off.
