I equate the evangelicals with the left side of the Democratic party in their size, influence and distance from center. The far left and the far right both have too much power and CAN change this country if we let them. There's a reason this country has become more liberal socially in the 40 years. It is because the Democratic party moved farther left. Ultra-liberal social policies became mainstream. Now the Repubs are moving similarly farther right. We aren't very well served by either.

I don't get this notion that the Rep. party has moved more to the right if anything they have moved more to the left. My problem with this article and the one that SS gave a link to above is that the leberal media is trying to influence the out come of the election. I know the right has Rush and those guys but on a more national type show they only have Fox. The liberal media does this CBS, ABC, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, PBR, and others just start thrown out everything they can to shape the minds of Americans. That would be fine if they did the same on both sides or they where frank about their left slanted articles. Atlest when you listen to people like Rush or Hannity you know up front that their bias is to the right. Main streem media hides behind their bias to the left and calls what they do as reporting the news. If you looked over the stories coming from these networks there is only negative reporting on McCain/Palin and I cannot think of one thing lattley (the weeks leading up to the election) were they have had any negative reports on Obam/Biden. Why do they ignore the issues on the left? Its simple they are in their corner and willing to do what it takes for them to win.
