Will the bornagain bushies LEARN a LESSON about being easily fooled?
Will it sink through to them eventually that their blind faith makes them easily manipulated and makes them do foolish things?

Will they be able to step back and realize just how simple it is to herd them around to the polls with only a few buzz words like 'family values', 'Christian conservative', 'the almighty', etc.?

Many but not all of them now feel screwed, and angry at being bamboozled and betrayed by the republicans who've convinced them that Democrats are wicked and only republicans can carry the banner of virtue and truth and godliness.

Do you think they'll ever learn this ANCIENT lesson?

(I hope this doesn't turn into an anti-religion flame thread cause it isn't meant to be one).

1. HELL no!
Please -- these folks are so brainwashed they crap their pants on a cue from their pastors. I live in born-again country, I've seen it happen time after time after time.

3. I would think they would have been pretty upset by Ralph Reed
and all of his crooked stuff.

But, no.

4. Think about it... Their entire life is filled with listening and following
what someone else, namely their preacher, tells them to think, say and how to live. Do you think they are capable of learning a lesson? NO!

9. "Chumpsianity"
They've been fooled twice: first by their fundie preacher snake-handlers, and second by the GOP. They will get fooled again: it's in their nature.

They are "Chumpsians"
