Am I the only one who sees that freedom and "religious-based values" are often contradictory? After all, the Taliban has "religious-based values."

DeMint in his own words:

McCain, who is proponent of campaign finance reform that weakened party organizations and basically put George Soros in the driver's seat. His proposal for amnesty for illegals. His support of global warming, cap-and-trade programs that will put another burden on our economy. And of course, his embrace of the bailout right before the election was probably the nail in our coffin this last election. And he has been an opponent of drilling in ANWR, at a time when energy is so important. It really didn't fit the label, but he was our package.

I totally called this. DeMint -- and a lot of GOPers -- believe they lost because they weren't crazy enough. Good news for Democrats in future elections.

I definitely agree with you. Religion and freedom are 180 degrees apart. The founding fathers knew it too and remedied it straight away.

And if god told Bush to go to war he sure made god look stupid.
