Why the Right's Messaging is Working
Why is the young brilliant upstart Obama only ahead by single digits. At least part of the reason is this: John McCain knows how to control his message.

Hagee-style American Christians push to prepare the ground for the second coming of Jesus Christ, a plan that focuses on advancing Israeli interests and that exerts increasing influence on U.S. foreign policy.

The image of conservatism, indeed the label itself, hides a shameful reality. Jingoism, war-mongering, fiscal irresponsibility, and nativism go back to the very source.

Getting rid of Bush will be good and great thing, but it doesn't make the case for Hillary Clinton. The problem with Hillary is that she doesn't really fit the political moment.

The majority of voters know we're all in it together, that we all do better when we all do better, that when we work together to help everyone in our nation and our world, we all benefit. This is the message of this election.

Our country needs someone to remind us of what our values are, and then we can remind the whole world that the America they believe in is still around.

In this year's Republican contest, the relationship between the front-runners and the religious right is unfolding in ways uncannily similar to the 2000 race.

In an act of desperation, Pat Robertson is willing to throw his values out the window to hop on the train of the perceived front-runner.

The endorsement of Rudy Giuliani by Pat Robertson is cause for brow-furrowing. Who are these "values voters?"
Peter Montgomery | Posted 11.07.2007 | Politics
Anyone who has watched Robertson's drive for political power and influence cannot be all that surprised by his endorsement of Giuliani.

Under the category of strange bedfellows, could the alliance of evangelicals and environmentalists change the world?

Some in the media are declaring the religious right movement dead as a political force. Here's why they're dead wrong.

The Value Voters Summit this past weekend rubbed salt into America's, the military's and my wounds. Is there any hope that things might change?
Jim David | Posted 10.24.2007 | Politics
There was no discussion whatsoever of tolerance of other people at the Values Voters summit, and I'm not talking jockstrapped revelers in the Castro, I'm talking about tolerating anyone else but Christians.

Because the Republican Party blindly chose to follow this base, it is crumbling today. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Rulership isn't a legitimate part of democracy. When a governing class develops in a democratic society, it loses contact with the people who elect it.

The premise of Time's article is dead wrong: the Court's decisions have a huge impact on Americans' rights and liberties.
Richard Belzer | Posted 10.12.2007 | Politics
The use of the term "values voters" to describe the so-called base of the Republicans' so-called party mainly refers to an extremist, ultra-conservative, strain of so-called Christian conservatives.
