US evangelical warn Republicans Prominent leaders from the Christian right have warned Republicans they must do more to advance conservative values ahead of the US mid-term elections. Their message to Congress, controlled by Republicans, is "must do better". Support from about a quarter of Americans who describe themselves as evangelicals was a factor in President George W Bush's two election victories. The Republicans will need to keep them onboard if they are to retain control of Congress in November. At a news conference in Washington, some of America's most influential conservative leaders said the current perception among evangelical Christians was that the Republican majority was not doing enough for them. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said that apart from confirming two conservative judges to the Supreme Court, "core values voters" did not feel that Congress was advancing their interests.

Just where do they think they can go?
Definitely one of the things that's most satisfying to me while I watch Republicans implode and start attacking each other is to see the despicable segment (over 50%) of that Party who refer to themselves as 'evangelicals' fall completely apart and now threaten to leave the Republicans.
But just where do Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and Tony Perkins and their gang of simple-minded haters think they're going? Certainly, progressives are not going to allow them into the Democrat party. Democrats are far too free-thinking and Constitutional minded to allow these morons to join them.
Hopefully, they'll just splinter off the Republican Party and then they'll all become irrelevant and insignificant like they should be. The country could sure use it.
