republican = religious nut??
The Republican party has done it to themselves on this one. Years of being backed by the religious right, not to mention the reliious rhetoric sputed by so many of it's members to appease the more conservative and religious members of their party have really branded this party. I am not a democrat, but segments like the religious right make it impossible for me to be a republican.
Fiscally I think they are (or are supposed to be) far more responsible, but the religious agenda behind a lot of republican policies turns me right off.
