The point isn't so much that a deliberate action was taken against Cantor, but rather that Cantor's lose underscores the fact that he was the only non-Christian Republican in the House of Representatives. With Cantor there, that couldn't be said. Now, with Cantor gone, the failing of the GOP is much more definitive.
But your point is well-taken: This one election isn't what makes the Republican Party Dominionist. It is Dominionist because of its composition and the manner in which the party has fostered Dominionism over the last generation.
Yea....we all got together and said "get the Jew!".
You saying that if the rep party had a representative from one of the stated religions, that person would represent the same view shared by everyone else in that religious flavor.
You are saying all Jews, Muslims et al, think alike and it matters not which one gets the podium to express their views.
You are saying a non christian will have different legislative views than a christian as upposed to one christian having views different from another christian.
Are you saying the entire republican party, not just the elected representatives are exclusively christian?
So you expect your non-christian dem legislators to exert strong religious influence into their propsoed legislation and the bills they support? If not what does it matter what their religion is?
Well one rep candidate was rumored to be part of a religious minority and she was attacked by the dem opposition for her beliefs.
Mitt Romney was attacked for his religious affiliation with the Mormon church.
Apparently dems have a real problem with religious minorities. They make hypocracy one of their platforms planks and the insidious part is they aren't even aware of what they are doing, their eyes turn back in their head, thought ceases and they go into deep political rapture.
With the defeat of Eric Cantor, the only Jewish Republican House member, there will be no non-Christian Republican House members. Are members of minority religions or atheists welcome in the Republican Party? The Democratic House caucus has members of the Jewish Muslim Buddhist and Hindu faiths among their ranks. How can the Republican Party claim to be a national party when it only has fundamentalist Christians in their ranks?
Flipping the script are we?
Just because Democrats hate one specific group doesn't mean they love the rest.
Meanwhile, working Americans who believe in accountability are still looking for access to the system.

So you are arguing that Republicans should have voted to re-elect Cantor, because he is a Jew?

Classic Republican dogmas such as limited government, personal property, the right to bear arms, and free market capitalism are important to people of no religion/atheists/agnostics, too. I'm one of them.

Have you quit beating your wife yet?
Same type of question.
"How can the Republican Party....? PSST! The PARTY did NOT vote. The PEOPLE of 1 district voted.
Give 1 instance where the voters made his faith an issue.
Give ONE instance where the PARTY did what you claim.
