The Republican party began to lose it's way when it hooked up with Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority back in the day. Until the republicans realize that religion has no place in politics and get rid of their current crop of 'spokes people' like Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Savage...and their ilk, the better off they will be.
Great map, but thats not what I asked, I asked WHAT legislation was passed on a federal level, based upon religion..
and it is not just about what was legislated. it is where the money and influence came from. you know there was a huge Christian contingent that put Bush in office and influenced his decisions.

So you have to go back TEN years to find that people supported Bush BEFORE he was in office? Yeah, as if Obama doesnt have his own special interest groups
Try again, stem cell research was not banned, just government funding of it. That, and a lot of other "government" funding needs to go..
Well written!
End all government funding and support for all immoral practices, such as abortion, homosexual marriages, assisted suicide, easy divorce, easy access to contraception, illegal immigration, and the list goes on.
Republicans abandoned conservatism when they pandered to the hispanic vote and the militant illegal immigrant-rights groups such as La Raza. I was a loyal supporter of George W. Bush until he spoke like a liberal and became lackadaisical on the problem of millions of illegals milking off our system.
I am tired of hearing about the Republicans being taken over by the so-called religious right. The majority of Americans have always believed in God and adhered to Christian values, thus the phrase moral majority. It is just that that liberal Democrats did not welcome them anymore but the Republicans still held true to the tradtional foundations of our society. Conservative Christians found a safe home in the Republican party, they did not hijack it.
Here's the big thing Libertarians, real Conservatives, and even fake Conservatives will not admit.
Fiscal Conservatism is on the wane. So it's just not overbearing social conservatism that drives Americans away but your views on small Government as well.
Americans don't like the religious right and they don't like your Libertarain view on social policy.
About the only thing "real" Conservatives and "some" of your Libertarains have going for them is a tendency to stay out of other Nations affairs and a respect for civil Liberties.
That's not going to win any elections for a long long time.
