Prominent leaders from the Christian right have warned Republicans they must do more to advance conservative values ahead of the US mid-term elections.

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. (It's a short article, with no registration... there's a bit more but it's mostly statistics.)

So um...which exact leaders are we talking about? Because there *may* be a church/political activity conflict there, don'tcha think?

I really have to confess....It doesn't bother me at all that the "Christian" Right doesn't feel that they're being catered to sufficiently.

Thing is, they aren't right when it comes to the right direction for our country. Yes, they're on the "right" of the political spectrum, but their ideas for our country's future are just WRONG!
Hence, my name for them: the Christian WRONG!
And they think there should be no separation between church and state. To me, that would just be dangerous. There's a reason we have such a separation.

But really, what are they going to do about it? Start voting Democrat?

Constitution. Party.

You know I can't stand Bush. But if these Christian Extremist groups are getting pissed off at him, he must be doing something right! :-)
