I liked him because he was the ONLY one who had the nutsack to tell these neocon bastards in his OWN party that they are full of ****. I LOVED his foreign policy positions during the debate. I loved that he actually got boo'd by these assholes. To me, he should wear that with pride.
Ron Paul and Santorum cater to the Christian Coalition/ Religious Right and do so for business reasons ... monetary support and donations. Especially Evangelism and TV preachers is merely a money enterprise.
The fundraising machines keep the GOP in place, not the pro-con religious debates Bill Maher or Mike Malloy highlight and bore us to distraction with.
So when liberal hosts like Norm Goldman, Mike Malloy, or Bill Maher scream about religous wackos taking over America its really self-serving bulls__t for their niche audience. Norm likes screaming "Teabagging Bozos!" because he thinks it gives himself a boost to his shallow diatribes. Maher and Malloy are making money, the former in the millions.
The Tea Party and Christian Right are such a small minority in America, but they are over emphasized by the corp. media and the talk shows because it is politically expedient for the 2 Party System to trivialize matters to distraction, its is easier to oversimplify matters and say, "I live in Atlanta with all the DUMB, religious, racist, hayseeds, you see ..." and extrapolate that to the whole country, and blame that as WHOLE reason America fails.
The real reason America fails is because the Democratic Party is set up to fail. It rolls over and plays dead, sells out to the highest bidder, and has no morals.
