GOP becoming the religious party?

Ambassador John Danforth wrote an op-ed to the NY Times:

By a series of recent initiatives, Republicans have transformed our party into the political arm of conservative Christians... The problem is not with people or churches that are politically active. It is with a party that has gone so far in adopting a sectarian agenda that it has become the political extension of a religious movement.

Nicely said, Ambassador.

That's not all, Connecticut Representative Chris Shays commented: "This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy."

Oh, and Senator Bunning dodged all my questions. I got a photo with the 2nd Hall of Famer I have ever met (in baseball). He's better known as a ball-player rather than someone who reads off of, I don't know, a teleprompter...
