    Well, as the party continues to be dragged further to the far extremes of far right wing rhetoric, should not be a surprised the people who now are the moderates of the parties, who 50 years ago were the far right of the republican party are now stepping away, and taking a stand against the asshattery of the RRRP, or the Religious Right Republican Party.

    At least from the sounds of this, it wont be another extremely anti-gay rights group like GOProud has turned out to be.

    To me, Republicans are all being tarnished with the same brush; The far right and religious. When obviously, there are many republicans who are in support of things which are considered more 'liberal' like same-sex marriage.

    It's hard because the religious right are so vocal.

    Holliepop: it's not just that they're vocal, it's that the party leadership is so afraid of them that they do whatever the far and religious right want. It's hardly tarring all Republicans with the same brush when the brush used is the same one their leaders are eagerly applying.
