WASHINGTON — The Rev. Jerry Falwell boasted Friday that evangelical
Christians, after nearly 25 years of increasing political activism,
now control the Republican Party and the fate of President Bush in
the November election.

"The Republican Party does not have the head count to elect a
president without the support of religious conservatives," Falwell
said at an election training conference of the Christian Coalition.

Falwell said evangelical Christians are now "by far the largest
constituency" within the Republican Party, their route to dominance
beginning in 1979 with his founding of the Moral Majority, a
precursor to the Christian Coalition.

"I tell my Republican friends who are always talking about the 'big
tent," I say make it as big as you want to, but if the candidate
running for president is not pro-life, pro-family ... you're not
going to win," he added..."

I was just talking about Jerry Falwell tonight. I still regret not hitting him with my car last time I saw him in the mall parking lot.

I've got no problem with people having religious faith, but guys like that make it bad for all christians.
