Tony Perkins is vewy vewy angwy at the Republicans

[Are_grits_groceries]

Religious right leader Tony Perkins is getting all theatrical over the fact that the Republicans didn't act Republican enough during the last four years. In specific, Perkins thinks we should have been focusing much more as a country on banning abortion and gay marriage. Forget about the economy, forget about Iraq, forget about Osama. Abortion and gays are all that matter to God's bigots who control the Republican party. Kind of funny, however, is that Perkins sees a ray of hope with Obama. Uh huh. I don't recall Obama saying anything about putting gay-bashing and the repeal of Roe v Wade at the top, or even the bottom, of his agenda. Then again, Perkins always has had a bit of an air of drama queen about him.

1. Why do you think that is, Tony?

The Republicans gave you your "choose life" orgasm with Terri Schiavo; why didn't they give you a second helping by banning abortion or gay marriage? Why do you think that is, Tony? They were fine with illegal wars, warrantless spying on citizens, torture, politicizing every government office and meeting, and yet for all that malfeasance, they didn't outlaw abortion. Seems they didn't draw the line at practically any illegal behaviors, behaviors that got guys hanged at the Nuremberg tribunals, but they didn't outlaw abortion. Do you have any theory about the why of that, Tony?

Because they played you for a sucker. And you're still not going anywhere. You look like the greenest tourist at a three card monte box, figuring that this time you'll find that red queen. The cops, who were going to bust the dealer, have decided to stand by and let him fleece you for your last nickel because you're such a fool.

3. Tony Perkins and his Family Research Council is

just another one of the Dominionist assholes who want this country to be run by Old Testament rules. Nothing more; nothing less.

Like his cohorts, he will lie at the drop of a hat if it improves his position on anything.

6. Tony should know that people are worried about serious

issues like employment. They don't live on tithes - damn Tony should be worried about those as well.

7. Good. Obama does best when fighting Culture War candidates.

If the GOP nominates a Culture Warrior in 2012, Obama will win, no matter the state of the economy (unless it is REALLY fucked up.)

8. What, is he catching on? Sorry, GOP, even your "base" will now abandon you.

LOL

9. Maybe his best friend david duke could give him some solace

Maybe they could go out and pistol whip some immigrant workers, that would make tony feel better.

10. I agree with him. The Republicans should focus on abortion and

gay marriage because it will further alienate the party from the majority of Americans who are worried about other things. Let them become a fringe group.
