I know what you mean.  It's sad what has happened to the Republican party. 
They could have been the party of traditional family values, conservative 
spending, self-sufficiency and the entrepreneurial spirit.  Instead, we 
have today's Republican party which looks more like the party of big 
money, self-promotion, and doing/saying anything that works to win votes. 
It's pretty disgusting.

I hope you Christians can wake up and get this thing back on track.  For a 
step in the right (correct!) direction look at what Rich Cizik is doing:

What's wrong with working on issues of poverty, injustice and maintaining 
a healthy planet on which to live?  Contrast Cizik with the ignoble, 
deceiptful, industry shill and phony pseudo-Christian self-promoter, E. 
Calvin Beisner:

see "Moyers and Beisner Exchange" here:

You can decide which team you want to be on, but the money is with Beisner 
and along with the money will come many of the big phony leaders of 
American evangelical Christianity:  Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, etc.
