I have a hard time categorizing the fundamentalists as liberal or conservative. I think they are sort of in a class of their own. The Dems can have them back though. Neither party will give them what they want. Sure, the Republicans talk a good game about being against abortion and other such things, but we'd rather have the issue than the solution.

They are liberal like Carter. Not exactly happy about the war and want bigger government spending in most areas (schools, foreign aid, even the environment, etc.). Both parties will give them what they want. Everyone wants votes. I wish they were Democrats again too. It would make me stop smacking my head every time I read about a new act in the paper.
And no NCLB was actually pretty cross-platform and bipartisan with Christian support as well. The TSA is the security people at the airport? If that's who you're referring to, I don't think you'll find Howard Dean or anyone not conservative (nor Christian) saying they want less security at the airport. I am waiting for them to open up the fast line or adopt something like Indonesia (I think it's Indonesia) where they just scan your eye. The Patriot Act was pretty cross platform too, although with time limits.
Until the congressional elections are going to be over, the American people will suffer. Politicians will jump around on issues and attack each other over anything to get higher numbers.
