Ohio players
Large turnout of Christian evangelical voters in November 2004 sets the stage for the Rev. Russell Johnson and televangelist Rod Parsley to launch the Ohio Restoration Project

Despite the subsequent controversy over widespread abnormalities on Election Day 2004, late in the evening of November 2, Ohio voters had delivered the final dart to the heart of the presidential hopes of Senator John Kerry. Since then, Christian evangelical ministers in Ohio have teamed-up to form a network that will build on their constituency's extensive contribution to President Bush's victory, as well as the passage of Issue 1 -- an amendment to the state constitution banning same-sex marriage. The goal: help Christian conservatives take over the state's Republican Party.

The Rev. Rod Parsley and the Rev. Russell Johnson are key players in the effort to wrest control of the GOP from so-called Party moderates. Their job has been made easier by the fact that Republican Party officials have been enmeshed in a series of political scandals, including the state's Republican Governor, Bob Taft. (For more on the governor's troubles, see, MoveOnTaft.org, a website jointly established by the conservative American Policy Roundtable and the liberal Ohio Citizen Action.)

Americans must be 'Christocrats" -- citizens of both their country and the Kingdom of God -- the Rev. Rod Parsley told his congregation at the World Harvest Church, located just outside Columbus, Ohio. "And that is not a democracy; that is a theocracy," he said. "That means God is in control, and you are not." (MORE @ http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=19778)

1. Let's hope this splits the Republicrat Party.

How can normal, sensible people back this extreme religious wing of their party? I really don't think they can.

heck, once you've made love to Rod Parsley, you ain't never going anywhere else!
