This post from Dispatches from the Culture Wars completely sums up the problem with politics in America:

Just how zealous is the religious right to make sure they have total control over the Republican party? Well this should answer that question. Remember their fevered efforts to have Arlen Specter drummed out of the party leadership after the election? The Christian Coalition's 2004 scorecard for the Senate gave Specter an 83% score. If someone agreeing with you 83% of the time isn't good enough for you in politics, you're the very definition of fanatical.
