Evangelical ("rapture-ready") Senate Report Cards-2004

[nascarblue]

The Christian Coalition was founded by television preacher Pat Robertson. The graph below is based on Christian Coalition scorecards. It shows how often members of the U.S. Senate voted with or against Christian Coalition supported bills. Republicans are red, Democrats are blue. Forty-one out of fifty-one Republican Senators received scores of 100% from Christian Coalition, meaning they voted with Christian Coalition 100% of the time.

[Charlie Brown]

1. Uh-oh, Specter only got a "69"

and McCain only got "88"

and Campbell only got "78"

They're going to flunk out of God's government funded finishing school.

3. Mark Dayton got a 6.3

That weasel Coleman's score is 96.7

[Liberty Belle]

2. My, our Californians are a sinful pair.

Feinstein and Boxer rated a 3.3 and a zero. You go, girls!

4. With the CC, I'd prefer negative numbers...

...but will settle for 3.3 and zero. Heh!

Boxer must really piss off the Fundies. She was re-elected in November with one of the biggest vote totals in the nation.

Feinstein, OTOH, has done some of her own unnecessary moralizing in the past.

When she was Mayor of San Francisco she got off on a "shut down the strip joints" kick.

In honor of that, some of the strippers decided to start their acts dressed in red power suits and brunette fright wigs, using the stage name "Di-Fi" or its equivalent.

[Liberty Belle]

8. Di-Fi? What a riot.

5. Aren't you glad we live in Cal? Thank GOD!

[onager]

6. Yes, even though I'm an atheist myself.

7. Proud Californian here!

A low Christian Coalition score is a good score!
