"The Dems Will Ban the Bible"

As I said, Swaggart's ilk's intolerance seems like a good lead-in to this mailing by Repugs in the Deep South claiming that Dems will ban the bible, outlaw heterosexual marriage, and eat babies. The president - as always - said he doesn't know anything about it (exactly what does ol George know anyway? There's a $64,000 question.)

But the irony here is that the Repugs are appealing to an inate fear among many Southern Christians that some fundamental right of theirs will be taken away. OK. It's a total lie but I guess any misinformation that gives Georgie a vote is cool to them.

Actually, no, the irony is that the group that fears so much having their rights taken away is the same group who is so RABID about stripping rights from others (gays and biracial couples shouldn't marry, people MUST salute God in government and schools, you do NOT have a choice in religion, women may NOT have a choice over their own bodies).

Please. Could people who haven't suffered brain damage come out and vote in 5 weeks? Pretty please?
