GOP POTUS Candidates: A Field Full of Dominionists

[Secular Elf]

The GOP has power no doubt about it, but the old guard is on its way out and I disagree with the author of the article.

Yes, the candidates are largely religious twits but if they think that this "return to family values-lets restore biblical morality" is going to breeze them through to a campaign win - well, I think they're sorely mistaken. 

They truly are stupid if they think that all Americans want is some evangelical president fighting back the gays and restoring white america.  Yes, we have a LOT of idiots who will vote in that direction, but I truly believe that what most Americans (even the religious twits) want is the semblance of a government that isn't screwing us over while fucking over the rest of the world in the process.  

What do we want?
From what I can tell, most everyone wants the same few things ...
Fix our infrastructure. 
Tend to problems at home, leave other countries alone.
Stop raising the national debt
Fix this health care debacle (national health care can work - if done correctly)
Hold Financial institutions responsible.
Hold China responsible to fair trade

There are other things of course, but the one thing I have NEVER heard when talking to hundreds of other Americans is:
"I sure wish we had a president who was a fundamental christian that kept gays down and had more public bible readings."

Yeah, if the GOP bets all their money on religious twittery, they're going to be very very sorry.
Yes, there's a lot of idiot baby boomers still ruining our country, but christianity is slowly dying and I believe with every passing year, people care less and less for the old guard trying to sell their fucking god to everyone.

MHO

I agree with you that the majority of Americans want good things for their lives and for every other citizen, everything you mentioned and then some.  I want those things.  But it would be a mistake to underestimate the power and influence of the Right-wing theocrats.  Elections can be and have been fixed and stolen.  Dominionists are not just in politics and the judiciary, they are in the military too.  Watch carefully how the next presidential elections go.  There is going to be a lot of fishy stuff going on with the ballots.  A majority of progressives were counting on the last mid-terms to get what they wanted, and they were sorely disappointed.  We are going to be sorely disappointed again.  The high chances are 2016 will see the first Dominionist president elected.  If not, then very close to it by a small margin.  And if they do not win this year, they will maneuver, manipulate, and try again.  Dominionists are very patient parasites.  They have been planning to destroy our democracy and replace it with a theocracy since the late 1960s.
